Virtually every contention of the author is immediately questionable. Iran is a problem, but less intractable than the author supposes.
The question is: Shall we (or the Israelis) neuter Iran's WMD program? If the answer is yes, let the bombers fly. If the answer is no, prepare to wait out the nuclear fuel cycle, and find out if the Iranians were serious about nuking Israel. If Israel is nuked, Tehran, Mecca, Medina, Damascus and Cairo ought to be flattened. Otherwise MAD prevails.
Them's the possible outcomes, IMHO.

It is obvious from reading this tripe that the writer of this story hasn't got a clue if the US ever decided to stop playing f*ck-a-duck and get serious about kicking a$$ and taking names.

that the Iranian people would not use this opportunity to overthrow their government in favor of democracy, if not for free porn. That will happen simultaneously with all of your other items on the list.

Yet for this agreement to materialize, the parties involved may need to go beyond the nuclear issue to address the conditions that have led the Iranians to live in constant fear of the United States and Israel. Might it have something to do with, oh, I don't know, maybe THE TAKING OF AMERICAN HOSTAGES FOR 444 DAYS?
Oh, and let's not forget all the terrorism they've sponsored. It sucks when the chickens come home to roost, doesn't it?
