Tornado Alley (PROG)

Well... that's all fine and dandy .. however, THEY are the ONES who have now ASKED that WE ... meet with them . We haven't answered yet

We started this discussion many posts ago with sanctions on Iran. I said it was all bluff. Then I posted a news release which indicated that there was a "waiver" contained in the sanctions allowing the President to waive the sanctions whenever he saw fit. My point was this: this is all smoke and mirrors and posturing, the sanctions are not going to be implemented because it would be far more detrimental to our allies than Iran.

However, Iran raised the stakes by saying it would shut the Strait of Hormuz if the sanctions restricted their oil. It's put up or shut up time. I think the US has put itself in a corner w/all these sanction talks. The more the US talks about sanctions, the more Iran gives us the finger. We are ending up looking like a paper tiger. Don't you think it's time to negotiate. I do.

also .. don't forget ..there are more incidents over the years that all play into this 'current' situation ...& MOST IMPORTANTLY .. now Iran wants to TALK ... so perhaps .. some GOOD has come out of this 'current' conflict ..my FINGERS are crossed... ;) and I hope yours are too .......; ) .. I HOPE for the best for ALL countries ...!
