Venzuela and Bolivia providing uranium to Iran

A word of explanation about this post. It was supposed to go up on Tuesday. I started writing it while I was sitting at Logan Airport in Boston. They started to call my flight and I decided to board the plane, thinking I would be able to continue using the airport WiFi from the plane as I have done in the past from planes at the gate. It didn't work.

DENNIS ROSS : MY JOB IS FUTILE

Dennis Ross: My Job is Futile

Such a nuisance, these democratic transfers of power. A fellow can work for the government for years, then someone loses an election and he's exiled to a think tank. While at the think tank he ponders and deliberates, and eventually puts his thoughts in writing, perhaps even in book form. (Books are hard to delete). Then suddenly another election rolls by, and hey presto, our fellow's folks are back in power, and they call him back to serve, perhaps even a notch higher up on the governmental ladder, since by now he's done all that thinking.

But there's a snag. Over in the ivory tower they've got this strange propensity of saying what they think may be true (sometimes), rather than what the President wants them to say.

Dennis Ross, the U.S. Secretary of State's special adviser on Iran, says in
a new book that the United States will not make progress toward peace in the
Middle East with the Obama administration's new plan...
Because of Ross' position, his superiors at the State Department do not
allow him to promote the book or be interviewed about it. In the second chapter,
entitled "Linkage: The Mother of All Myths," Ross writes: "Of all the policy
myths that have kept us from making real progress in the Middle East, one stands
out for its impact and longevity: the idea that if only the Palestinian conflict
were solved, all other Middle East conflicts would melt away. This is the
argument of 'linkage.'"


Oy. What can I say? That I feel for Obama?

PILOT PROJECT WITH REAL MATCHES

Pilot Project With Real Matches

Us high-tech project folks always prefer to launch large-scale multi-year painfully expensive projects with small, limited, contained and inexpensive pilot projects. The idea is that it's hard to sell anyone a project that will bleed their recources, waste their time, consume their attention and exhaust their patience for a decade; a small and painless pilot project, however, three months of inexpensive fun: what could possibly be wrong with that? True, the pilot comes with built in glue that will mean the only way to extricate oneself is by doing that ten-year monstrosity, but hey, high-tech folks have to make a living also, no?

Anyway, the Master of History, or the Divine Screenwriter, or whoever you choose to believe runs the show, clearly has a weakspot for high-tech marketing methods. How else to explain the small pilot project of North Korean nuclear childishness conveniently being set up just before the decisions need to be made on the big project in Iran. Yes Mr. President, we're all watching.

It's not even funny, though laughter is a fine way to deal with bad news.

GERMAN HISTORY IS WRONG

German History is Wrong

Yep. A big chunk of postwar German history didn't happen, or if it did, what happened wasn't what everybody thought was happening, but rather the opposite, but it doesn't matter because the outcome was exactly not what anyone had in mind, and anyways, it's all a long time ago and why is everyone in such an uproar?

Dialectics meets Sherlock Holmes for history at its funniest. Or saddest. Or confusedest. Or whatever.
