Iran, USA, and Peace
Well lots of talk about diplomatic breakthroughs lately. These have some observers already speculating about a different Near East.
I can say this: modern peace is based upon interests of industries and States. You find an equilibrium that suits all parties well enough. Modus vivendi.
On that basis there is little chance: none of the actors and industries want peace enough.
But a postmodern peace is de-referenced peace. Interests would not drive it. So it is always more possible than modern peace. But are we there now? Answer: not yet. Need more media 'peace' hype and more regime 'peace' hype. Enough of that, for long enough will overwhelm the old modern (anti-)peace model in this case.
