This is an excellent, MUST READ article from the Telegraph.

via Iran’s charm offensive on nuclear arms is a pointed test of Barack Obama’s resolve – Telegraph.

Personally, I worry about President Obama’s strength as a leader and the decisiveness of his decision-making, given that he is supposed to be the most powerful man in the World.

But what especially worries me now  is that President Obama has reduced power in the second half of his second term, and will no doubt be looking to his legacy to history. In this regard, it’s worth mentioning that many people think that Obama should return his Nobel Peace prize.

Let me turn this to an open question:

What are the strengths, weaknesses and risks of alternative US policies with Iran?

Any thoughts?

Antarctica: planning the trip of a lifetime – Lonely Planet.

Whilst Antarctica is a highly desirable travel destination for those that adore spectacular scenery and wildlife, as this article clearly demonstrates, this sort of holiday is either a once in the lifetime trip, or the preserve of the wealthy.

Any thoughts?
