Iran doesn't have to do squat. Isolated from who? They are involved with the SCO now and have their friends in Moscow and Beijing to help them out now. All the mullahs have to do is wait out the financial collapse of America and let's see what those Iranian students think of the good ole USA when all hell breaks loose over here. Europe is in a bigger bind economically than we are, and they have a lot more Arab immigrants than we do to boot. THe mullahs have the majority of the population(the poor, blue collar types) on their side. IF that Washington Post poll was indeed correct, the youth actually favored the incumbent, so who knows how this is going to play out.

From the Iranian point of view, the problem with PJB’s proposal is that they must throw themselves on the mercy of the US regime, which has not shown itself to be overly merciful. They must “prove” that they have no nuclear weapons program. I’m sure the Iranians have noted how well this proving of a negative worked out for Saddam Hussein. And they must cease “subverting” the Israeli/Palestinian “peace process” (lol) by their support of Hamas and Hezbollah. Of course, the main subverter of the “peace process”, as pointed out by PJB himself is the Israeli government currently headed by Bibi Netanyahu. Granted that Israeli/Palestinian relations are none of Iran’s business, but neither are they any business of the US. The US should just discontinue its support of nuclear armed Israel, re-establish normal relations with Iran, bring our troops home, and quit trying to micromanage the Mideast and the rest of the world

It's difficult not to think in the back of one's mind that the days when the US could do anything its elite wanted to do to someone else are fast approaching irrelevancy. Still, Iran has been around a long time and Submission (Islam) is a relatively recent innovation. Moreover the liberalism/modernism the money class seems to want is what is destroying the West.
