The NAM Meeting's Chilling Message
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - The world is trying to dissuade Israel from any type of military action in Iran by arguing: "The sanctions are biting, Iran is feeling the heat, it is feeling isolated. Just give us more time." Isolated? Really? The attendance of two kings, 27 presidents, numerous foreign ministers and the UN secretary-general at the Non-Aligned Movement Conference in Tehran does not send a message of isolation. Had at least some countries stayed away, had the UN secretary-general boycotted the meeting, Israel's leadership may have been able to conclude that the diplomatic front was indeed working, and that Iran was indeed isolated. But today, that argument will be much more difficult to make in Jerusalem.
