You must work for .gov.


No, but I've dealt in international negotiations (both in the private and the government sectors) and such negotiations are not easy. Iran is an independent state that does not need to give into demands that (it believes) are not in its interest. They've withstood severe economic sanctions and are still standing; what else can we do?

I doubt the US or the rest of the world is willing to go to war with Iran; we are stretched, tired and broke from the past 14 years of war. How many more US servicemen are you willing to loose?
