Daydreaming on Iran
(Wall Street Journal) Mortimer Zuckerman - President Obama has forsaken decades of pledges to the civilized world from presidents of both parties. While repeatedly affirming that the U.S. would never allow revolutionary Iran to acquire nuclear weapons, which would guarantee a new arms race, in fact, one has already started. Credible reports suggest Pakistan is ready to ship an atomic package to Saudi Arabia, the Sunni nation that stands opposed to Shiite Iran's subversion throughout the region. Meanwhile, Ayatollah Khamenei continues to denounce the U.S. as the Great Satan, making clear that Iran doesn't expect to normalize relations. His speeches indicate that Iran still sees itself in a holy war with the West. So here we are, seemingly willing to concede nuclear capacity to Iran, a country we consider a principal threat.
