Diplomacy with Iran

LA Times: Reviews the US talks with Iran over its march to a nuclear bomb, the articles states the following, "...........stop handling Iran's leaders with kid gloves. It wasn't becoming, they didn't deserve it and -- worst of all -- it didn't produce results. " It has been reported that Iran has rejected the nuclear deal offered by the UN, so what now, well Obama can start to remember that he is President of the United States, not the head of the EU, this might turn in to his Cuban Missile Crisis, does not matter if he wants it, that the stark reality, and no he cant do a secret deal as JFK did with the Russians over Turkey in 1962, in essence Kennedy sold out Turkey, Kennedy would remove NATO nuclear missiles under US control a few months after the Cuban Missile Crisis was resolved. In this case Obama cant sell out Israel, they are already nuclear armed, they will not tolerate a nuclear armed Iran. Thus as with Afghanistan, Obama is in a tight spot, liberals want to appease at any cost, while Republicans want the President to be a hawk, thus Afghanistan and Iran will define the Obama Presidency, get either wrong and we could see Hillary Clinton running in 2012, the Clintons will not allow their reputations to be seen as annex of an Obama Presidency that turns in to rerun of Neville Chamberlain.
