Nuclear Power

The president of Iran has declared that they have joined the nuclear power club. Not surprising, but disconcerting nonetheless. I believe it was Pat Robertson who claimed Iran would be the biggest story this year. Although Robertson has some unique ideas, this was pretty dead-on. 2006 was certainly Iran's year. They successfully swung events in Iraq to their favor: the US must openly include them in discussions in order to bring Iraq to something of a resolution. They instigated and supported Hezbollah for a month against one of the premier militaries inthe world, changing the psychology of the region. Now they have nuclear capabilities. Iran is poised as the premier regional power. The question now is, what will 2007 hold?
