bud Posted April 18, 2012 Report Posted April 18, 2012 the neocons are freaking out because diplomacy now seems to be at the center and may produce results. just the prospect of success is causing panic. so why is it that netanyahu and his supporters in washington fear diplomacy more than war? here is an article with a rational and logical explanation of the situation: Netanyahu and Obama are at it again. The hardline Israeli Prime Minister, standing next to Senator Joe Lieberman, accused Obama of having given Iran a “freebie” during the Istanbul talks this past weekend. Iran can continue to enrich uranium “without any limitation” for another five weeks, Netanyahu charged. Nothing could be further from the truth, Obama shot back moments later from the other side of the world, at the Latin America summit in Colombia. "The notion that somehow we've given something away or a 'freebie' would indicate Iran has gotten something,” he said. “In fact, they've got some of the toughest sanctions that they're going to be facing coming up in just a few months if they don't take advantage of these talks." http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/04/17/why-netanyahu-s-afraid-of-diplomacy.html Quote http://whoprofits.org/

What happens if Iran signs a piece of paper, and the West trades off the possibility of extinguishing the weapon while there is a chance, and Iran immediately reneges?

Always remember that when you are in the right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are in the wrong you cannot afford to lose it. - J.J. Reynolds. Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location? The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).
bud Posted April 19, 2012 Author Report Posted April 19, 2012 What happens if Iran signs a piece of paper, and the West trades off the possibility of extinguishing the weapon while there is a chance, and Iran immediately reneges? then the west responds with other options, like tightening the sanctions even more. it's obvious that the sanctions have worked in bringing iran to the table and it's obvious that iran's stubbornness has worked in bringing u.s. to the table, despite pressure from aipac and the neo-cons.
