A template for conflict resolution

. The Iran nuclear deal is perhaps an early New Year gift for the comity of nations.Eternal conflict has ever been a trait of human civilization.The Middle East cauldron was kept boiling by the oil & arms lobby for decades on end now. It has taken a liberal leaning US president to be brave enough to break through the cordon. The decreasing dependence on imported oil by the US and emergence of the " Arab spring " could well be a factor for such peace initiatives from either side. Nevertheless  it does credit to leaders across both sides of the divide, to have gone beyond narrow political dictates, for the larger aim of finding peace than the  pursuit of existing or newer contentions.Should this deal go through and sustain ,we would have a proven template for the resolution of many a conflict spread across the globe.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.
