Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran...

(Sung to the tune of Barbara-Ann)
I see that the Iranians are not going to give up their nuclear ambitions.  This was kind of obvious from the beginning, but it was an interesting exercise to watch the EU try to negotiate with the regime anyway.

David Adesnik notes that the Wa Post claims that by us sitting back and allowing the EU to try to negotiate with the Iranians first we gain a level of credibility when more force is necessary to remove the regime from power.

But the lingering question is what will the EU do next?  Will it have the balls to impose sanctions or use force when force finally becomes necessary?  If they don’t, and the Americans have to, will the left scream “unilateral” again and denounce the US for not giving peace a chance again?
