Law professor uiges voters to consider Middle East issues the country become part of Europe, or will the party pull it farther from the West? Part of the Iran equation is its relationship with Russia. "The blinking light is Russia," he said. "The invasion into Georgia was a classic textbook case of Russia sending a message." But what was the message? Was it to Iran? Was it to the United States? It most certainly was to Ukraine, he said, but to whom else? He also called the IsraeliPalestinian conflict a "fever" that will burn for many more years. Guiora said whoever the new president is he will need "sophisticated" advisors. He defined sophisticated as being able to speak another language and the cultural literacy that should accompany that, and the ability to understand history, politics and power. The new president must never act impulsively and must have the maturity not to use power. "It's natural to want to call in the cavalry ... but what about the morning thereafter?" he said. Understanding the effects and ramifications of using power, as well as its limits, requires tremendous maturity and long-term thinking, he said. The president, his advisors and the military need to rethink and agree on what policies in the Middle East will serve the nation's' long-term interests. > He isn't convinced the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan benefited either America's or Israel's longterm interests.
