The Iranian’s have always believed Bush was an aberation from the weak and feckless American leadership they expect. Their strategy was to wait him out till the Democrats were back in power. Now they have their wish.

Obama can talk all the pretty speeches he wants, but these things will happen on his watch:

1. Iran will get nuclear weapons
2. Pakistan will collapse
3. Israel will be attacked again by Hamas, Hezbollah, Syria & Iran.
4. Narco-terrorist warfare in Mexico will push that country to the brink of collapse

No amount of “robust diplomacy” will change any of that.
