The posture that they are maintaining &quot;Let&#039;s just keep everybody guessing&quot; could be a big bluff or the real deal.  Either way, it gives them a strength face.  Fake or not, it is dangerous because it makes lots of people nervous.  I hope Mr. Ahmadi Nejad makes the right choices at the correct time and avoids the disaster that he very well could be playing with.

isPermaLink="false">http://www.mideastyouth.com/2008/07/23/just-ahmadinejad-can-do-it/#comment-174780</guid> <description>It is often the case that it takes a &quot;tough guy&quot; to broker a peace. I think that it&#039;s because only a historically &quot;tough guy,&quot; has the necessary credentials to thwart off criticism from both the right and the left. From the right, because he is considered one of them, so they&#039;re not comfortable criticizing him. And from the left, because he is unexpectedly advancing the cause of peace, which they have advocated for themselves.A case in point is Menachem Begin, of Israel. At one point, he was the head of the Irgun, a tough organization which caused the British to leave Palestine. And throughout his career, he was considered a &quot;tough guy&quot; who stood up for all sorts of right wing positions. However, when Sadat made the first move, shortly after the 1973 war, in which Sadat restored Egyptian pride, Begin followed suit, and the two were able to broker a peace.I would not be surprised if Ahmadinejad acts similarly, and relatively soon. That way, he can still claim that his &quot;tough guy&quot; approach caused the West to cave in, while at the same time brokering a deal that would keep Iran safe from attack. And like you say, he would probably have the credibility to pull something like this off. And like you also say, Obama would probably be more receptive to this, than McCain.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is often the case that it takes a &#8220;tough guy&#8221; to broker a peace.
