| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1614590 United States01/06/2012 07:22 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What needs to be addressed is the disturbing reality that the Obama administration's approach offers no viable endgame for dealing with Iran's current leadership. Quoting: DoorBert By embracing maximalist measures, the White House has come full circle, abandoning, along the way, its earlier optimistic efforts at engagement. In doing so, it has implicitly relinquished the prospect of negotiating with the Islamic regime: given the ayatollahs' innate mistrust of the West, they cannot be nudged into a constructive negotiating process by measures that exacerbate their vulnerability. American policy is now effectively predicated on achieving political change in Tehran. [link to www.foreignaffairs.com] When have we ever seriously negotiated with Iran? Never has it happened, not since the Shah left power. |

Historically the US government always finds a way to get even if another country does something it does not like. The US is your friend as long as you play the game the way they want or you have something they want. If Turkey does not get the exemption and then goes ahead with getting Iranian oil anyways, you can bet the US will retaliate in some way that sticks a knife between Turkey's ribs in some fashion, be it economic, technology, military support/contracts. |

That's probably about right. It IS a global sandbox, after all. Who else uses violence to settle differences, other than children, criminals, and politicians? I'm guessing it has everything to do with NATO. Yeah, we don't own Iran, and Turkey can do whatever it wants, but we do own NATO, and you don't want to get sideways with the biggest bully on the block, upon whom you depend to protect you from the other bullies.

How come no one follows that logic with wondering what will happen when nuclear armed France and Great Britain are finally Islamized demographically? What do you suppose will happen then? I wonder what "they" are planning when that occurs? |

| Wizard's First Rule User ID: 1026045 United States01/06/2012 11:38 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What if all this escalation is setting up an Obama led peace accord in a Carter sort of way? Unlikely but possible. I can't see Obama getting reelected if the US militarily engages Iran. He was elected on a peace focused platform. Such a move makes Ron Paul the only viable alternative as well because all of the other GOP candidates would approve engaging Iran militarily. Wizard's Rule #1: "People are stupid. Given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. People will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool." Primordial Rule: "The rule unwritten. It is the secret of all life. It is the essence of life itself. You are a creator and master of your own reality. You ultimately make your own rules."
