			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A third North Korean nuclear test is now widely expected. Though most analysts expect an underground test, we consider an open-air test quite possible. The communists now need to demonstrate their power as clearly as possible, and that is what Iran wants to pay for, to snub the White House. Since the US allegedly brought down the North Korean ballistic missile during its crucial test, and the Koreans uncharacteristically kept silent about imperialist forces disrupting their military program, an open-air test of a plutonium bomb would suit the communists and ayatollahs best. The US is pretending that nothing new has happened.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the US Congress is debating whether to boost aid for Israel to manufacture the Iron Dome. The idea is to help the Jews to protect their ghetto, which is threatened by tens of thousands of rockets from Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria. In return, we are not to attack them to destroy their arsenals preemptively, which is obviously a cheaper and more reliable tactic than protecting ourselves with interceptor batteries.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A new poll indicates that while most Americans support military action against Iran, the numbers of those who favor American involvement is decreasing. Statements that Iran could attack American interests are having an effect.</p>
<p>When asked if Israel should attack Iran&#8217;s nuclear facilities, its about 50 percent for, and 42 percent undecided. So the overwhelming majority of Americans favor an Israeli strike on Iran.</p>
<p>When asked if the US should confront a nuclear-armed Iran, more than 70 percent opted against it, insisting instead on isolating Iran. At the same time, they thought it impossible to get an international consensus to isolate Iran.</p>
<p>When asked if the US should stop financial support of Israel if this support caused conflict with a nuclear-armed Iran it was about 50/50. This figure is projected to increase once the US is faced with a nuclear-armed Iran.</p>
<p>The type of poll and timing might indicate that Obama will use GOP&#8217;s tactics against them next November. If the Obama Administration can successfully project that a nuclear-armed Iran is a danger to US interests if provoked, then he could run on a non-aggression-with-Iran platform, which would buy him votes. This would be similar to his 2008 campaign, in which he succeeded by promising a fast US withdraw from Iraq.</p>
<p>Plainly put, if Iran gets a nuclear bomb, it would be good politics for Obama to drop his support for Israel and play the voice of reason and peace for American voters. This would be in contrast to the GOP candidates, most of whom have already committed to support an Israeli air strike.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Prime Minister Stephen Harper openly complained in a cabinet meeting that the US State Department was leaning on Canada in its upcoming negotiations with Israel to discourage a preemptive strike by Israel on Iranian nuclear facilities. He also felt that there was no way in hell the US would attack Iran&#8217;s nuclear facilities on its own, and that Obama was prepared to have a nuclear Iran. This might explain why Harper is trying to lead Canada into its own strong relationship with Israel without undue American influence, and why we see very little in Canadian media about the frequent visits to Israel by Canadian cabinet ministers over the last three months.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A major polling company conducted a telephone survey in the US followed by group psychology. One of the questions  was the timing of US military action in the Middle East and its effect on the presidential election. It seems that successful (for election purposes) action can take place up to the end of March. After that date there is risk that an invasion could be used as a negative platform to attack Obama. Surprisingly, the majority of voters would support action by US Forces following an Israeli lead as long as there was no actual invasion. Belligerent rhetoric from Iran and rising gas prices have induced in the American people a short-term angst towards the Iranian leadership. The general consensus is that it would be better to get it done and over with.</p>
