When it comes to local or world political issues I believe in natural selection.

After all said and done the one that can better adjust and anticipate change will survive. This is true in the case of Arabs working to secure a state for the Palestinians or Venezuela ensuring their sovereignty is not trampled by multinational oil companies with close ties to big guns. And the third world struggle to fight off first world economic domination through political manipulation.

Bottom line is that the competing interests will have to fight for survival. If Iranians are smart enough they will ensure that their short term and long term interests are not shit canned by stupid remarks. Mexico will use its powerful neighbor to improve its plight (there is no reason for them to come over the border for work).

Cuba will have to prove with action that their social model works despite all the roadblocks they encounter. The US will continue to project force, sweet talk, bribe, and ideologically argue why her method is the best. Israel will continue to influence anyone they can to help them survive and perhaps expand its power in the region.

That is how natural selection supposed to work, its about survival.
