News all over the media indicates that America and its allies have failed to achieve a negotiated settlement with Iran to stop their uranium enrichment, which is obviously meant to achieve weapons grade material to develop one or more nuclear weapons. It doesn't take a genius to understand that the negotiations with Iran over their nuclear weapons development was destined to fail.
Once
again, the government of Iran has played the United States and its allies for
the fools they are. Time is the enemy of those seeking to prevent Iran
from acquiring weapons grade uranium.
Conversely, time is the ally of
Iran. The longer they can keep stringing out the western allies in
negotiations, the closer they come to their goal, which is a nuclear weapon
that can be delivered in one of their intermediate ballistic missiles.
Iran has developed
ballistic missiles which can reach Europe and, if deployed on a ship, can
easily come within striking distance of most of America's most vital
centers. The Islamic terrorist leadership of the Iranian government has a
much longer time frame for their ultimate success than most people in the west
can understand. Similar to the Chinese outlook, the terrorists leading
Iran thinks in terms of multiple generations, to achieve their goals, which the
western allies have difficulty in grasping.
Meanwhile, the Obama
administration continues to play into the Iranian game, all the while posturing
to the world that the allies have successfully used economic sanctions to
forestall Iran's development of one or more nuclear weapons. Rather than
continuing and expanding the economic sanctions on Iran, the allies lead by President
Obama, have actually reduced the economic sanctions against Iran, with the
excuse that such action was meant to entice Iran to return to negotiations and
realize it is in Iran's best interest to return to a state of non nuclear
development, thus enjoying economic opportunities for their national growth.
The problem with this
thinking is that it does not take into account the willingness of the Iranian
terrorist regime to take Iran into oblivion, sanctions or not. The
Iranian regime simply has a fatalistic view that it will ultimately prevail or
go down taking untold numbers of innocent victims with it.
The western allies
need to understand the perspective of the Iranian regime and realize it may
well take a concerted effort to militarily stop Iran from developing nuclear
weapons. It should be obvious to even our dimwitted president that Iran
will, if not physically stopped, develop nuclear weapons to threaten Israel,
the western allies and even their neighbors in the Middle East.

Iran's goal is simply
to exercise overwhelming hegemony over the entire Middle East. In
addition Iran has a demonstrated messianic mindset to literally wipe Israel off
the face of the earth to advance Islam and Iran's own worldwide self
image. Having lived and worked in Iran in the early 1970's, I can attest
to the fact that Iranians have a very strong view of their 2000 year plus
Persian heritage dating back to their world advances, which were close to the
size and extent of the Roman Empires.

All that said, when
you are dealing with religious zealots, the likes of which we see in the
leadership of Iran, reason is not part of any settlement equation that can ever
hope to be achieved by western standards.
