Perhaps. But we've given them 27 years to do so, and now Iran is about to get the bomb. It can't be allowed. This isn't an "Imperialist American" speaking, but a person who realizes crazy people running a country under the thrall of crazy Islam will use any weapons it can get it's cloven hooves on.
I agree
However, given the reaction in the Arab press in the region, it seems to me Iran's neighbors are becoming more and more concerned for their own security.
