Will the bringing of oil prices down restrain Iran's ambition to dominate the Middle East? Will a failing economy stop their nuclear ambitions? I doubt it. If anything it may encourage them to up their time table to bring chaos to the area in preparation for the return of their Mardi or is it Mardi's. (I'm not sure which)
There are those who want to appease Iran and those who believe that Iran's leadership can be negotiated with. I'm not one of either. History has shown that appeasement doesn't work. And how does one negotiate with someone who is determined to destroy you at all costs? I don't know, can onen negotiate with a suicide bomber or a state who's regime believes that it is their destiny to bring chaos upon the world? What can we possibly offer them that will cause them to abandon this perceived destiny? I don't believe that it will do any good to offer them more wealth. They have dedicated the wealth they have to their goal.
Men of reason believe that all men can be reasoned with but history proves them wrong. Our Western minds do not comprehend the religious fervor of a people that will happily die to bring about their cause. This is beyond reason.
Those who believe that they can negotiate with this adversary in reality have no respect for them. The negotiators believe that Iranians will sell out for something we can give them. They believe we can in effect bribe them out of their beliefs and committment to destroy us. They don't even believe that they mean what they are saying. Now that is disrespect and hypocracy.
