Time to give Iran a deadline
Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz, who also has a doctorate in Philosophy, warned on Thursday that sanctions alone will not stop Iran, and called on the United States to issue an ultimatum to stop Iran's nuclear weapons program. “There is tremendous progress regard to sanctions and we praised the American administration for its success in passing tough sanctions, which Iran is starting to feel,” he told reporters while on a visit to Washington. But it may be that sanctions alone won’t be sufficient and the US and other countries will have to set a clear warning and deadline, a strong and harsh ultimatum.”Good luck with that. The only people this administration seems to know how to pressure is the Jooos.
He declined to specify what such a threat would consist of, though he said an embargo and other steps short of military attack could be considered.

This is a very interesting piece by Mark Silverberg about the need to see the picture through the eyes of Arab/Muslim leaders and to choose our course of action based on how they actually think.
