See, that guy recognizes the threat Iran poses. I hope that his suggestion will work, talking this out would be great, i'm just skeptical of the chance it has of succeeding, that's all. I'm not saying we should just ignore talking, I just don't think it will work.

What I want for the Iran situation is this. I would like other Western and UN countries to see that what Iran is doing is a threat to international security and step up to confront Iran. I would hope that major countries around the world could work together to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons without the use of force, but I just don't know what they could do to deter Iran from continuing its current actions. The Iranian president said, "The enemies could not impose their wrong decision against us under cover of the Security Council and the IAEA" so I'm not really sure what ways Iran could be deterred because they view UN and IAEA action as threats. So if we try to use peaceful methods, they will see it as a threat and may carry through on selling their nuclear technologies to other countries. Knowing that, I just don't know what peaceful means can be used to stop Iran...that's why I'm hesitant to rely on negotiations and why I beleive it will most likely have to come to a military effort to stop Iran.
