Almost always, this is not revealed. Of course it is common sense that the Israelis and the Americans have such plans, quite possibly other countries as well, but who reminded the Times&#8217; Uzi Mahnaimi of this truism in the last few days and why did the Timesonline decide to publish just now? It&#8217;s interesting that this is all hot on the heels of the Americans finally &#8220;acquiescing&#8221; to the European plan, which is essentially to bribe the Iranians into staying away from nukes &#8211; a plan which took an almost immediate nose dive when the Mullahs rejected it. Perhaps the intention of this article was to get the attention of those same mullahs. Or perhaps some other game is being played. When you read an article like this, you don&#8217;t know what or whom to believe.]]>Sat, 12 Mar 2005 19:15:39 -0500<![CDATA[Roger L.
