Glenn Greenwald links to an interview given by Vali Nasr who argues that we are seeing a failure of diplomacy by the US with respect to Iran, with president Obama’s sanctions policy likely to lead to war.
This is truly insane.

Has anyone checked to see if China is willing to finance another war for us?
Considering the theocratic wingnuts running Iran, I really don’t see much of a chance of diplomacy working. Their view of the world is quite fixed, in a flaky North Korean sense, and they just don’t strike me as being interested in giving up their attempt at nuclear weapons, any more than they’re interested in giving up their beliefs in an invisible, impotent, non-existent sky fairy.

Looks like Ali Khamenei has been more interested in not producing nuclear weapons than he thinks since at least 2005. If we take the fatwa against Rushdie seriously, then this one too.
It is truly a scary world. Which is what that video did to me. I cannot do anything short of the want to end all nuclear warfare. I think you have to use diplomacy until someone throws the first rock. War sucks. What’s the matter with people.
Tonight on CNN, Rep Peter King said:
“Iran has made the decision it would consider making attacks on the U.S.”

Sounds like they’re getting ready to use the preemptive strike excuse.
There is nothing wrong with Iran that a half dozen 15 megaton bombs wouldn’t cure.
