JAMES RAIDER - Er...Not really. Contrary to what your blogger says, Russia wasn't working that closely with the US when they were building missile sites next to Russia, and the plans were dropped partly as a way of getting Russia more onside on the Iran issue. In other words, by any analysis it's THE OPPOSITE of what you said.

CHERYL:- 1) Firstly, Spain currently has a very very small proportion of muslims on account of it's fascist past. As you rightly pointed out, the vast majority of their immigrants are either Western or Eastern Europeans, and only Morroccans come amongst the main groups. These are also leaving in droves, as they were temporary economic migrants. 2) Even if it is 1.4, then it wouldn't be a muslim majority by the end of a century, never mind being 'entirely' muslim as you said. I can't even see how that could happen at all - a country ENTIRELY changing religion within 100 years in the modern world. What about the E.Europeans? Their birthrates are very high? Birthrates also fall - they're socio-economically linked. Fortunately that's very very far from what's possible, never mind probable.

Anyway - I've made clear many times that of the many claims in the report, the massive amount of footage collated by the IDF should be able to dispute one or two - perhaps through soldier testimonies at the time, combined with some of the massive amount of vehicle tracking data; missile targetting data; all of the countless hours of footage and monitoring, at least some of the points could be contested. But no...

That's pretty direct. I always have to point out that it's not just Obama - it's a coalition of the world's main powers who are pressuring Iran, but nonetheless, good progress.
