Default Barry Rubin on Obama's posture against Iran
http://www.gloria-center.org/gloria/...t-of-no-return

though I have to disagree with his optimism about the EU. They are not going to invoke new sanctions despite their past claims to want to.

Remember boycotts and sanctions are only used against the Jews. Be that as it may, Iran will become a nuclear power and there is nothing anyone in a position to do anything will do.

Strange, this could possibly be a situation where a temporary ground assault and occupation would actually be adequate, because Iran's popular resistance movement could help set up a new government, but due to Iraq and Afghanistan, we prejudge any invasion as some sort of potential long term occupation. But an air assault, and then invasion to clear out the nukes and set up a new government could work but not something Obama would do because he cares too much about the second term.
