Default Regarding Iran

"The United States should construct a combination of incentives and pressure to engage Iran, and may have missed earlier opportunities to begin a useful dialogue with Tehran.

We need to figure out a way to develop some leverage . . . and then sit down and talk with them. If there is going to be a discussion, then they need something, too. We can’t go to a discussion and be completely the demander, with them not feeling that they need anything from us.”

You don't need leverage if you meet and talk as equals, even if that's a facade.

US: What can we do for Iran?

Iran: You can drive all the Jews into the sea.

US: We'll get right on that!

Iran: That's all we wanted, now we can be friends....Allahu Akhbar!

We have the greatest scam in the world. We pretend to sell nuclear technology to Iran, but we never send the 'critical part'. They keep begging, and we keep promising, but they never get it. I am not sure how long we can keep the scam going...eventually they will figure it out and stop sending us dollars.
