Illustration Iran Talks by Greg Groesch for The Washington Times more >Given this background, it’s puzzling why the Obama administration continues its soft approach. Every sign shows that the regime sees America as a paper tiger that cannot do anything but accept a nuclear-armed Iran.
No amount of negotiations will change the behavior of the regime. Not even sanctions can alter its course. The policy of containment will only result in a tragedy that will not only collapse the global economy but cost millions of innocent lives.
If the regime today is capable of destabilizing the Middle East with its threats to shut down the flow of oil to the world, destroy Israel and expand its power into Asia, Africa and Latin America, what will it be capable of when it has nuclear bombs?
