Analysis: Eyeing Iran, Israel focuses on the day after
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Although Israel can expect a barrage of missiles from various fronts if it attacks Iran, the response might be less catastrophic than some predict, with Middle East turmoil distracting old foes, analysts say.
There is also a gathering view in Israel, expressed with growing insistence by senior officials, that the resulting conflict would be a price worth paying for stymieing Iran's nuclear program.
An increasingly tough-talking Israel is threatening to take military action, with or without U.S. support, if the Iranians continue to defy pressure to curb their contested projects.
The question of what follows such a strike is becoming ever more central to both public and private discussions, suggesting that Israel's security elite is now looking well beyond the initial operation to evaluate a strategy for the fallout.
"The issue today is less the (military) option itself. The real debate is what happens the day after," said Michael Herzog, a one-time head of strategic planning for the Israeli army.
"The number one discussion is what happens once the military option is applied. We are assuming the Iranians will respond violently, but what kind of escalation will we have?"
Iran has warned it will strike back if it comes under fire and military planners in Israel think its allies, most notably Hezbollah in Lebanon, would probably leap into the fray.
Tehran has an unknown number of ballistic missiles that could reach Israel, while Hezbollah holds up to 50,000 rockets, some of which could undoubtedly hit densely populated Tel Aviv.
But some local experts, perhaps looking to calm a jittery domestic audience, are questioning how much damage Iran and its proxies could inflict, suggesting that Israel's growing anti-missile defense shield should provide strong cover.
"The apocalyptic predictions of what will happen if Israel attacks Iran should be moderated," Giora Eiland, a former national security adviser, told Israel Radio this week.
SPRING DISTRACTIONS
Ironically, the Arab Spring might also limit the damage.
Israeli leaders have viewed with alarm the tumult that has swept the Middle East, fearing the upheavals will leave it ever more isolated and bring ever greater instability to the region.
But the civil strife in Syria might remove any chance of Damascus rallying to Iran's side, with President Bashar al-Assad too distracted by his own difficulties to help anyone else.
"The possibility of Syria falling under the bus for Iran was never likely and it is even more probable now that Syria will stay out," said Amos Yadlin, a former military intelligence chief and head of the Institute for National Security Studies.
The chaos in Syria could also disrupt Hezbollah's supply lines, with much of its arms probably transiting Syrian land.
Some analysts have even questioned whether Hezbollah would opt to sit on the sidelines and preserve its strength.
The two sides clashed in 2006, when Hezbollah shelling drove a sixth of Israel's population into shelters and Israeli planes pummeled the group's strongholds, killing hundreds.
Hezbollah subsequently decided not to open a second front against Israel in late 2008 when Israeli forces attacked its ally Hamas in Gaza. Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah acknowledged last month for the first time that his group received financial and material support from Iran, but said Tehran would not ask for help if attacked.
Without being entirely sure, Israel is working on the assumption that Hezbollah would get involved, regardless.
"The Iranians gave them all these rockets so they would be prepared for exactly this sort of scenario. To assume they would do nothing is giving ourselves too much of a break," said Herzog, who is an international fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.
HAMAS HESITATIONS
Hamas is another story. A long-standing ally of both Syria and Iran, it has taken a step back from the two states during the Arab Spring and aligned itself more closely with Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, making its participation in a war unlikely.
Other militant groups in Gaza, such as the Islamic Jihad, probably would fire off rockets, and the risk of escalation is always possible, but this is not Israel's top concern.
"With all respect to Hamas, when you talk about Syria, Hezbollah and Iran, it is like one drop of rain in the middle of a storm," said Yadlin.
Yadlin was one of the Israeli pilots who bombed an Iraqi atomic reactor in a secret 1981 mission. Then, as in 2007, when Israel struck an apparent Syrian nuclear reactor under construction, there was no military response.
No one expects similar silence from Iran, and amidst quiet optimism in certain security circles over Israel's ability to contain any response, others are far less sanguine, foreseeing years of overt and covert hostilities.
"We face a war for generations to come, which would be justified only if we are really convinced that the future of Israel was in danger," said Yehuda Lancry, a former Israeli ambassador to France and the United Nations.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly equated Iran's nuclear program with the Nazi Holocaust, making clear he sees it as an existential struggle -- and one Israel can win.
Defence Minister Ehud Barak has gone so far as to predict that "maybe not even 500" civilians would die in the wake of a strike on Iran. Fewer than 50 Israeli civilians died in the 2006 Lebanon war and 2008-09 Gaza Strip conflict. Around 1,400 Palestinians died in the Gaza hostilities.
A lot could depend on the impact of the initial, risk-filled assault. A comprehensive strike could cow Israel's opponents. A botched effort would encourage them.
"It depends on how successful the Israeli operation would be. If it is very successful, it will not encourage (Hezbollah and) others to act," said former security chief Eiland.

Factbox: Hunted Ugandan rebel leader Joseph Kony
KAMPALA (Reuters) - A video about Uganda's reclusive rebel leader Joseph Kony and the atrocities his Lord's Resistance Army has committed over more than 20 years has become a top trend on the social media site Twitter.
Here are some facts about Kony and his rebel group, which is being hunted in the dense forests of central Africa by Ugandan and U.S. troops.
* Self-proclaimed mystic Joseph Kony was indicted by the International Criminal Court in The Hague for crimes against humanity in 2005.
* In May 2006, the top U.S. diplomat in Africa said the administration of then-President George W. Bush wanted to get rid of the LRA rebels by the end of the year.
* The LRA emerged in the late 1980s in northern Uganda as a successor to the Holy Spirit Movement, a rebel group led by Kony's aunt Alice Lakwena, that was defeated by Ugandan forces.
* When Kony launched his war against the government of Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, he said he wanted to fight for the rights of the Acholi, a marginalized northern tribe.
* When his people did not back his campaign, Kony fled to south Sudan with a plan to obliterate the "treacherous" Acholi.
* Kony, who served as an altar boy in his village, claims to talk to angels and has said he wanted to rule Uganda according to the biblical Ten Commandments.
* The LRA became notorious for abducting children for use as soldiers, sex slaves and porters. An LRA hallmark is slicing off lips and ears of "collaborators" to punish and mark them out.
* In a rare interview with a bodyguard published by a Sudanese magazine, Kony described himself as a lord and a liberator, even though he came from a typically impoverished rural family in Odek in Uganda's north.
* "Dreams of the spirit came to me one night and asked me to launch a Lord's resistance movement," Kony said. "I spent 60 days praying and appealing to God to strengthen my faith so I could liberate the people of Uganda from corruption, sins and immoral thinking."
* Many of Kony's thousands of abductees were forced to kill children who tried to escape, or murder their own relatives, fostering a sense of complicity that guarantees subservience.
* Under Kony's instruction, child soldiers and their commanders - many barely in their teens - carried out the most violent attacks on unarmed villagers.
* More than 300 civilians were shot, hacked and burned to death in February 2004 in one LRA raid on a camp for some of more than 1.6 million people uprooted by the war.
* Preaching a mix of Christian beliefs and traditional African religion, he initially attracted a wide following. But he failed to win lasting support, and under pressure from the Ugandan army and local resistance he was forced from Uganda.
* The rebel chief, who has worn his hair in dreadlocks or braids and sometimes dressed in women's clothes, according to former fighters, is a powerful speaker who instills fear.
* Several attempts to capture Kony by U.N. and Ugandan forces over the past few years have failed.
* President Barack Obama sent 100 U.S. military advisers to central Africa last year to help Ugandan forces in the hunt for Kony.
* Kony and his rump force are somewhere in central Africa, most likely in Democratic Republic of Congo, or perhaps the Central African Republic.
* There have been no reported LRA attacks in the Central African Republic or South Sudan since January 18, but there have been at least 12 raids in northeastern Congo in the first two weeks of February in areas where LRA groups have attacked during the last three years.

One Thing Is Certain: Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle Is Not Dead

More Science
Experimenters violate Heisenberg's original version of the famous maxim, but confirm a newer, clearer formulation
?| March 8, 2012?|

What Einstein's E=mc2 is to relativity theory, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle is to quantum mechanics?not just a profound insight, but also an iconic formula that even non-physicists recognize. The principle holds that we cannot know the present state of the world in full detail, let alone predict the future with absolute precision. It marks a clear break from the classical deterministic view of the universe.
Yet the uncertainty principle comes in two superficially similar formulations that even many practicing physicists tend to confuse. Werner Heisenberg's own version is that in observing the world, we inevitably disturb it. And that is wrong, as a research team at the Vienna University of Technology has now vividly demonstrated.
Led by Yuji Hasegawa, the team prepared a stream of neutrons and measured two spin components simultaneously for each, in direct violation of Heisenberg's version of the principle. Yet, the alternative variation continued to hold. The team reported its results in Nature Physics on January 15. (Scientific American is part of Nature Publishing Group.)
Heisenberg inferred his formulation in 1927 via his famous thought experiment in which he imagined measuring the position of an electron using a gamma-ray microscope. The formula he derived was ?(q)?(p) ? h/4?. This inequality says that when you measure the position of an electron with an error ?(q), you cannot help but alter the momentum of the electron by the amount of ?(p). An experimenter cannot know both the position and the momentum precisely; he or she must make a tradeoff. "For that reason everything observed is a selection from a plenitude of possibilities and a limitation on what is possible in the future," Heisenberg wrote.
The same year, Earle Kennard, a less-known physicist, derived a different formulation, which was later generalized by Howard Robertson: ?(q)?(p) ? h/4?. This inequality says that you cannot suppress quantum fluctuations of both position ?(q) and momentum ?(p) lower than a certain limit simultaneously. The fluctuation exists regardless whether it is measured or not, and the inequality does not say anything about what happens when a measurement is performed.
Kennard's formulation is therefore totally different from Heisenberg's. But many physicists, probably including Heisenberg himself, have been under the misapprehension that both formulations describe virtually the same phenomenon. The one that physicists use in everyday research and call Heisenberg's uncertainty principle is in fact Kennard's formulation. It is universally applicable and securely grounded in quantum theory. If it were violated experimentally, the whole of quantum mechanics would break down. Heisenberg's formulation, however, was proposed as conjecture, so quantum mechanics is not shaken by its violation.
In 2003 Masanao Ozawa of Nagoya University developed a new formulation of the error?disturbance uncertainty that Heisenberg aimed to express, but this time on much firmer footing. Derived mathematically from quantum measurement theory, the new formulation describes error and disturbance as well as measurement results: ?(q)?(p) + ?(q)?(p) + ?(p)?(q). Hasegawa's team is the first to have verified Ozawa's new formulation. It did so by directly measuring errors and disturbances in the observation of spin components. Even when either the source of error or disturbance is held to nearly zero, the other remains finite.

Our sense of smell sways our memory and thought
?| March 9, 2012
Image: Ann E. Cutting
In Brief
- Recollections tied to smell can be stronger than memories elicited by other cues.
- Most visual memories hark back to when people were in their teens and early 20s, but the greatest number of odor-related recollections come from when we were six to 10 years old.
- An impaired sense of smell may be a sign of cognitive decline and might even hasten memory loss.
Six years ago, on an early morning in September, Molly Birnbaum was out for her regular jog when she was hit by a car. Her pelvis was shattered, her skull fractured, her knee torn. Yet for her, the most serious damage was far less visible: she lost her sense of smell. Birnbaum, now 29, was an aspiring chef, and the loss meant the end of her career. It also meant something else, something that was potentially even more life-changing. ?I felt like I lost a dimension of my memory,? she says. ?It made me worried about the future. If I couldn?t smell ever again, was I losing this important layer??
