#1 Kissinger was wrong about a lot of things, but I still listen to him when he speaks.

#2 The issue before the nations involved is similar to what the world faced in 1938 and at the beginning of the Cold War: whether to overcome fears and hesitancy about undertaking the difficult path demanded by necessity. The failure of that test in 1938 produced a catastrophic war; the ability to master it in the immediate aftermath of World War II led to victory without war.

Money quote, in my opinion.

#3 "The world is faced with the nightmarish prospect that nuclear weapons will become a standard part of national armament and wind up in terrorist hands."

The reality is that its only a matter of time before this happens, although I prefer latter then sooner.

#4 The world community doesn't want us involved in this, we arent in range of Iran, and if we are involved Russia and China will try to spoil the deal on purpose to screw us. Let the EUniks do what they want and give Israel the backup they need to handle this.

#6 Kissinger is a one trick pony who insists on seeing everything through his personal biases.

Iran is NOT a normal political state. Statements like "... radical part of the Iranian public used to dialogue with the United States. " are an example of Kissinger trying to see this conflict through his "rational actors" paradigm. This isn't a rational enemy like the USSR this is a theocracy with a death cult mentality.

Where is his analysis of the call to convert to Islam that is prescribed by Mo-ham-head as the precursor to war?

This is a very blinkered European view and if it prevails will get us all killed or enslaved.
