The schoolyard bully syndrome
This US Administration is continuing its schoolyard bully behaviour with respect to Iran. Luckily that means they might be dropping the pokey-chest stance and have even suggested that the answer to the Iranian stalemate might just be diplomacy. Great Scot, Reality, look what you've done to him - you've forced him down to, like, Plan L!
This is what the happens when pokey chest fails to gather a crowd of friends with sticks and rocks surrounding a cowering, quaking foe. The friends for the most part have their hands at their sides, at least for now, and the foe is neither cowering nor quaking. In fact, he might be slyly smiling; it's hard to tell.
With talk of sanctions in the air, Tony "L'il Snapper" Blair is still waving his Security Council stick, but I'm sure that the rest of the EU takes him as seriously as I do. For their part, the big quiet guys, Russia and China "strongly" oppose sanctions.
In any case, let's hope this is a turning point. Maybe the next time the Russians or someone else offers a possible solution, the US won't shoot it down.
