Tending to find fault in everything he does [now how is that fair? It isn't - but life isn't fair - don't blame me, friendo - it's life you should be pissed at - life] I haven't really considered the possibility of what happens should Obama's Iran strategy succeed. So - I'd imagine the only thing more dangerous than Obama and his cadre of clever progressives thinking they're right would be evidence that seemed to demonstrate to those not yet indoctrinated into the way that yes indeed those clever bastards are right - this would be because one, Iran is not negotiating away the nuclear option - any agreement they enter into that appears to be a concession on this point will be a lie, they will not honour it - and two, those who understand Obama's approach to foreign policy to be proof of weakness will be emboldened. [so what you're saying with apparent shameless bias is that he fails even if he succeeds - no, what I'm saying is that success as Obama and his cadre understand it will be an illusion, a thin web of wishful thinking - now if he actually succeeds, which would mean compelling Iran to submit to verifiable limits on its nuclear program and warm to the resumption of normalized relations with the US - well then, I'd be shocked, dumbfounded - but I wouldn't deny him his victory - still, as I said, any agreement the present regime in Iran enters into that is in the least way watered down or is not accompanied by proof of a desire on the part of Iran to move away from its 'great Satan' framing of the past will be about as viable and sincere as Molotov-Ribbentrop]
