“I do think the next four to five months represent a period of danger, but that danger is far more likely to come … from Israel rather than the US.”

Efraim Inbar, head of the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies at Bar Ilan University, near Tel Aviv, says “We’re on a course for clashes already…. Our military is preparing for military action, and everybody knows it already,” says Mr. Inbar, noting that several factors will influence Israel’s calculations.

“There’s an enrichment process clock, there’s an American elections clock, and our own political system’s clock,” says Inbar. “Frankly, I don’t believe that diplomacy works at this stage….

Does this sound like an add for smart cars to anyone else? Maybe if more public figures start driving them it will become a more fashionable car to drive, which would be a good thing.

I like the futuristic integration of technology into everyday life, and love the idea of people being able to time their walk to work based on the predictable light changes, but do the buildings really have to look like something Frank Gehry would make?BBC NEWS | Business | South Korea’s newest city emerges
