Can America Block Iran's Drive for Regional Hegemony?

A profoundly straight-forward, sobering assessment of geopolitics by Israel's Deputy Prime Minister Dan Meridor, in his article titled: "Can America Block Iran's Drive for Regional Hegemony?"

Blunt and to the point: this generation's war is between the United States and Iran, with Israel caught in the middle. Whether the West is successful in stopping Iran's nuclear program could very well determine the stability of the global order and the fate of this century. Meridor's assessment is spot on: Iran's nuclear program absolutely must be stopped.

On that point, I am happy to report that I successfully lobbied to have "Stopping Iran's Nuclear Program" as the number 1 agenda item for the Ministers of Defence at the upcoming G8/G20 Youth Summit in Paris, France this May. The question is: can the real G8 leaders agree to the same agenda before it's too late?
