PROBLEM: (CNN) -- Without firing a shot, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has achieved remarkable results in his efforts to counter Iran's nuclear program. In little more than a year, the prime minister has managed to move the Iran nuclear issue to the top of the international agenda, to toughen sanctions, and in an extraordinary move, to push U.S. President Barack Obama to strengthen American policy so that preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons became the focus, rather than just containing Iran and its nuclear program. Indeed, if you throw in Republican challenger Mitt Romney's unwillingness to accept Iran even having the capacity to produce a nuke, Netanyahu's record is even better.Aaron Miller: Israeli PM Netanyahu has scored some victories on Iran nuclear programBut he says Netanyahu's new emphasis on drawing a red line is counterproductiveIsraeli politicians are crying wolf, threatening an attack that isn't happening, Miller saysMiller: Injecting the issue into U.S. election campaign further alienates President Obama 
 Question:This might actually create a greater sense of confidence that Netanyahu was giving the Americans the benefit of the doubt and build up some currency in the bank which Israel will need if in fact it does decide it must go it alone against _ in the spring.

SOLUTION: Iran

PROBLEM: San Diego (CNN) Twenty-five years ago, Paula Claussen's friend invited her to make the short trip from her home in San Diego, California, across the border to Tijuana, Mexico, to donate clothing to people in need. Claussen didn't expect that day to change the course of her life. The drive took less than an hour, but when they arrived at their destination -- a shantytown on the outskirts of Tijuana -- Claussen couldn't believe her eyes. "I was shocked by the conditions that I saw down there," she said. Families with young children were living in ramshackle homes: The dirt floors turned to mud when it rained. The walls had gaps, allowing tarantulas, rattlesnakes and rats to invade. Many roofs were merely old tarps with holes in them.Paula Claussen visited Tijuana, Mexico, to donate clothing 25 years agoThe poverty she saw inspired her to come back and build better homes for residentsProject Mercy houses replace shacks that often have dirt floors and lack basic amenities

PROBLEM: (CNN) -- The wife of a former top Chinese politician has admitted to poisoning a British businessman, blaming a "mental breakdown" for her actions that resulted in Neil Heywood's death, state news reported. The closely watched murder trial of Gu Kailai took place Thursday, adjourning in the afternoon without the announcement of a verdict, said Tang Yigan, deputy head of the Hefei Intermediate People's Court. On Friday, the state-run Xinhua news agency offered details on what transpired in court the previous day during the seven-hour long trial. That included a statement by Gu in which she not only didn't deny the accusations levied against her, but "accepted all the facts written in the indictment" -- including poisoning Heywood at a time when she thought her son's life was in danger.The wife of ex-Chinese politician Bo Xilai says, "I suffered a mental breakdown"A family aide confesses to his role, saying, "I really know that I did wrong"British businessman Neil Heywood died after being poisoned in his hotel roomGu's murder trial occurred Thursday, though no verdict has been announced
