Re: The 4th Global War on Terror - Deja vu all over again!
Fishy I would be happy to trade insults with you if you'd like, which I suspect might be your real intention here. However, as you rarely win those exchanges with me, you might consider staying on topic.
So, you have a bunch of questions. Lets see what we have here....
1) I don't want Iran to develop a nuclear weapon. At the same time, if another country (say Israel) feels more threatened by Iran than we do at any given point, I fully support their ability to act on their own. Its about time other countries start solving their own problems.
2) Iran has and will continue to have the ability to enrich no matter what sanctions we place on them. How do we know this? Because the sanctions already in place have done nothing to stop them. Only a full scale ground invasion would and I'm not going for that. So, with that fact in mind, what do we do next?
3) Simply put, put in an inspection program. Much like the US and Soviets did back in the late 80's. If it works, great. If it doesn't even worse sanctions are on the way. This deal allows the US the moral high ground to continue to tighten the screw if needed, and on this issue we absolutely need the world's cooperation. If China or Russia decides to do business as usual with Iran, the sanctions become meaningless.
4) I don't care if GWB and Condi had negotiated this, any more than I cared when Reagan struck a deal with Gorby. Reducing nukes is reducing nukes.
So, I have managed to answer your questions without insulting you. You failed in that regard in your first reply to me. Lets see if you can accept the challenge of responding without the personal vitriol that stains too many of your post.
