The wages of appeasement

Obama’s engagement initiative seeks to persuade the regime to accept limits on nuclear development in return for economic and political benefits. Its failure could trigger a regional arms race, increase chances of an Israeli military strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities and lead Iran to retaliate by closing the Strait of Hormuz. “The U.S. administration is discovering now that that the attitude of Iranian leaders is harder to sway than they thought on the campaign trail.” You don't say.

In the meantime, Ahmadinejad issues a warning: "But I have told the enemies ... that this nation ... will strike you in the face so hard you will lose your way home." Get on all fours and grovel, Pepe. Chop, chop.
