How Long Will Obama Continue the Diplomatic Charade with Iran?

Jonathan S. Tobin  "Acting on behalf of the United States and its allies, European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton had offered Iran the possibility of easing up on sanctions if only they would demonstrate that they were telling the truth about not working to build a nuclear weapon. But despite these high hopes and the certain knowledge that the West was willing to compromise about letting them keep some of their nuclear toys, the Iranians showed up today offering Ashton and company nothing."
Meanwhile, we show weakness by approaching them with a deal. What have we learned from History?
That we are obtuse.

“You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor and you will have war.”
  Winston Churchill on Chamberlain’s return from signing the Munich Pact with Adolf Hitler.
