President Barack Obama is a cool-headed leader. For the past 40 months he has known that history will judge him by his actions and failures vis-a-vis Iran. If he blocks the Iranian nuclear program, he will become a national hero like John F. Kennedy after the Cuban missile crisis. If he doesn't, he will become a grotesque figure.

Mr. Shavit forgets that Pres. Obama needs to do everything in his power to keep Iran under the control of the Western powers. That is not just in Israel's interest, it is also in the Dems' interest in the US. Yes, Netanyahu figures in the calculations as well. He has done his best to frustrate all openings for negotiations with Abbas.
