The N word, needs intense intercession

Tuesday, April 20, 2010

The N word dominates all news about Iran. We live in tense days. To deal with Iran’s nuclear programme the US has said all options are on the table, a clear reference to military action; Europe basically supports the US poistion; and Israel used her national Holocaust day to demand action against Iran. In response Iran has filed a complaint against the US threats with the UN and has ordered a new surface to air missile system from Russia which would be able to intercept air attacks. China remains opaque. This is an intensely fragile and dangerous situation where a wrong move could set off a disaster of untold horror. Intense intercession is needed
