#1 And, as Talleyrand noted almost 200 years ago, in politics doing something that is not necessary is worse than making a mistake.

As Iran continues "discussions" about its nuclear intentions, perhaps the administration wishes to initiate "discussions" regarding local politics?

As Iran pursues its nuclear interests, perhaps the administration will pursue its political interests.

As the interests collide, perhaps they'll collide in Iran, perhaps close enough to Iran to severely alter Iran, perhaps elsewhere.

Two out of three sound like the best odds available. To emulate Tallyrand, maybe we're doing nothing unnecessary.

#2 MadMoud and the Mullahs want revived Regional and Global Empire - the world must acknowledge and verify their "Great Nation/Power" status however undeserved, or its death to the world. As the Mullahs have no scruples inducing super-power confrontation to achieve its agenda, Iran may end up being the post-modern version of pre-WW2 POLAND and the NAZI-SOVIET NON-AGRESSION PACT, except that where power-manic, pro-OWG/Anti-sovereignty Anti-American Americans are specifically concerned, "NAZIS" are both THE HATED ENEMY + PSEUDO-ALLIED PRO-STALIN LIMITED COMMUNISTS/SOVIETS!?
