The carrot and stick for Iran is a joke. The moolahs are so rich and control so many world wide businesses and real property that no money reward is possible. Like they could give a fat fuck about favored nations. They can ship anywhere by using futures markets; their shadow corporations in France, Germany, and India make a blockade useless; and everybody needs their oil. Were I a moolah I'd way rather be a menace with atomic weapons than anything. Once I have the bomb I can make things happen. We will have Star Wars up and running before they have the bomb so we will be as protected as possible, but Israel and Europe won't be in the game. As Muslim immigration continues unchecked, they will be 20% of the voters in France. Look what Blacks, who are less than 12% of our population, have done to sack the government with welfare programs. Muslims will be able to dictate policy in France and thereby in the EU. The admission of Turkey to the EU, another Islamic country, will seal the deal. Islam with the bomb will be much more attractive to the world's poor than Communism ever was; Islam is the only force in the world that appeals to the poor and guarantees them paradise. Keep that in mind.
