This refers to the report "Iran, six world powers clinch breakthrough nuclear deal" (November 25). The West Asian cauldron was kept boiling by the oil and arms lobby for decades. It has taken a liberal leaning US president to break through the cordon. The US' decreasing dependence on imported oil and the emergence of the "Arab spring" could be a factor for such peace initiatives. Should this deal go through and sustain, we would have a proven template for the resolution of many global conflicts. The US has also realised that it neither wants, nor is able to be the universal policeman, and that nations need to come together without compunction for the greater good.
