Iran: Obama’s Wasted Opportunity
Before the protests broke out, our two choices were to convince them to stop trying to produce the bomb (not likely) or physically stop them with a bombing campaign (not pretty). The protests presented us with a third and much more pleasant option. One that we have all but wasted.
True, alas. As a consequence, if all-out war between Israel and Iran breaks out under Obama’s watch, it will reflect poorly on Obama, even though in reality he could have done little to stop it.
Sadly, if civil war breaks out in Honduras Obama will look bad as well; but that would be more justified, I think.
