Escobar, in AsiaTimes, Part I, here and part II, here
"...Khatami after all will have to face a similar situation to Obama's - he will have to face down his hardline Khomeinist foes as much as Obama must face down Washington's special interests and the entrenched power elite.What is certain is that the Pentagon, the Israel lobby in Washington and whoever wins the Israel elections, even Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni's Kadima, belong to the clenched fist bunch. They are already vociferously pointing out the successful launch last week of an Iranian satellite - Omid (Hope, in Farsi) - hammering home that the same rocket technology can also deliver warheads..... The good news is that from Obama's point of view, the "inaccessible" can become more than accessible with just a simple "we're sorry".
