> What about the Iranian approach to the U.S.? What if Iran stopped development of nuclear weapons and attacking U.S. forces in Iraq and elsewhere, or sponsoring organizations that are destabilizing the Middle East? It's not like they're not also agitating the situation. It's in their best interest because that way they can maintain power. It takes threee to tango in this situation Provocations and aggressions that maybe the US should perhaps stop doing: - presidential candidates gleefully parodying beach boy songs about bombing Iran.

[2] - Assassinating or supporting Israel in assassinating Iranian scientists abroad.[3] - or assassinating Iranian military leaders [4] - Organizing violent military coups to replace democratically elected governments with Radical Islamist puppet dictatorships [5], [6] - Gatekeeping nuclear power by releasing destructive viruses into the world to destroy Iranian Nuclear research labs [7] 1.
