Muammar al-Gaddafi
You don't have any communication between the Israelis and the Iranians. You have all sorts of local triggers for conflict.

I wrote a novel about Israelis who live their own lives on the slope of a volcano. Near a volcano one still falls in love, one still gets jealous, one still wants a promotion, one still gossips.
Amos Oz

Charles Schumer
