Young people of Israel and Iran want peaceful co-operation

diplomacy-not-bombsLink Peace and Nuclear Talks August 12, 2013  NYT, Reginald Zell,  12 Aug 13 Regarding “Iran’s Plan B for the bomb” (Views, Aug. 10) by Amos Yadlin and Avner Golov: Whenever there is talk about peace negotiations, Israel plays up threats like Iran’s production of a nuclear bomb, now upgraded to a plutonium bomb. Both countries consider the other as a mortal enemy out for the other’s destruction. The median age of the population of Iran is 27 years; in Israel it is 30 years. In both countries however, despite an overwhelming young population, politics is conceived by elderly minorities that are only kept in power through imagined threats and fears…….

Unfortunately there is no neutral power to initiate and implement this complex but simple undertaking. The United States has no credibility, as demonstrated by its forays in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan, where it squandered trillions of dollars, nor does Europe with its geriatric, bland leadership. Thus any vision of young Israelis imagining Iran as a huge market of 79 million consumers and of young Iranians studying nuclear science in the Negev will remain dreams.   Reginald Zell, Bures-sur-Yvette, France  http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/13/opinion/global/link-peace-and-nuclear-talks.html?_r=0
