There is, of course, one thing that Britain and America could do that would wholly disorientate Ahmadinejad and have him rushing troops to his borders. It would be a sudden end to the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan. Such a decision would remove at a stroke the running theme of Iranian militancy. It would saddle Tehran with two unstable neighbours whose insurgents and revanchists would cause it, its allies and its surrogates no end of trouble. After a bit of initial crowing the next Iraq will be Ahmadinejad's nightmare. Unfortunately such a step seems too clever by half for the west's present leadership.
Not to mention the "trouble" it would cause the locals.
Can you believe that? Jenkins is actually calling for "two unstable" countries as the solution to the nuclear stand off with Iran. This wouldn't be just Ahmadinejad's nightmare, this would be everybody's nightmare. Make the Middle East unstable is his answer?!?
Words fail me.
