      <description>There is nothing new here.&amp;nbsp; Biden has stated what Obama believes&#8212;the way to prevent problems is through cooperation with others, not attacking them.&amp;nbsp; However, we don&#8217;t dictate what Israel or what Iran or any other sovereign nation does.&amp;nbsp; 


Biden is not encouraging Israel to take military action against Iran.&amp;nbsp; He is saying that is not the US path and he believes Israel&#8217;s path is the same as that of the US.&amp;nbsp; However, just like the settlements issue it is the Israeli&#8217;s who need to make the decision to cooperate with us.&amp;nbsp; It would not be called cooperation if it was based on coercion.&amp;nbsp; 


I am fairly certain the US will view Israeli military action against Iran with about the same level of support it has expressed toward Iranian leadership regarding its post election violence.&amp;nbsp; This isn&#8217;t the way to fix the problems, but only add to them.&amp;nbsp; Today, we seek a higher level of understanding and cooperation today that doesn&#8217;t depend on the old paradigms but new paradigms that recognizes that everything that adds to the hate, fear and anger of others increases instead of decreases these conflicts.</description>
