Discerning God's Work In The World: Tips From The Times For Preachers: Looming nuclear warfare?Sunday, January 29, 2012Looming nuclear warfare?I haven't paid much attention to the Iranian nuclear threat, being more directly interested in the youthful uprisings in Tehran, but a serious article in today's New York Times Magazine (which I barely read as a rule) grabbed my attention. It's by Ronen Bergman, an analyst for the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, and author of ββThe Secret War With Iran.ββ No doubt it will be controversial, but it struck me as the best sort of reporting: lucid, calm, in-depth, on-site, based on extensive interviews and solidly presented facts. I recommend it highly as background for the high tensions the Middle East will face in the next few months, and the role that America will play.Link: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/29/magazine/will-israel-attack-iran.html?_r=1&ref=magazine
