Iran: The new sanctions, already watery before being watered down some more, have been enacted. What do we do now? Apparently just wait for them not to work.
If insanity can be defined as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, then the United Nations Security Council, led by the U.S., is conducting a policy against Iran that is dangerously deranged.
Of course, the member states know this fourth round of economic sanctions won't stop Iran's march toward nuclear weapons, any more than the first three have. Indeed, ending Tehran's nuclear program is not why President Obama made a point of getting this ineffectual nonsolution in place. But figuring out the rationality behind why he did isn't easy.
Was it so the president could campaign that "by working with other nations multilaterally, we enacted measures against Iran that are tougher than anything the Bush administration put in place"? (A harder wrist slap is still a wrist slap.)
Was it in the belief that it would force the Iranians into talks — and once the president gets talking to them he'll be able to work his magic, the way he did on American voters?
Or was it just to "do something" in the slim hope it would get Americans to devote less attention to the chilling prospect of nuclear-armed jihadists?

If Obambi can just get Iran to the table, he’ll run circles around them! Come on! He got the Olympics for Chicago, didn’t he? He didn’t? Oh, never mind.
It is not insanity as stated by the author. Obama is at least in sympathy with the Muslim greater caliphate if not more than that.
I’ll take what’s behind door number 4 Alex: Obama is helping the nation and ideology he is most loyal to. And that’s not America, Constitutional government, or the West.
“then the United Nations Security Council, led by the U.S”
Led by Obama. The US has been telling the useless nitwits to go screw themselves for years.
