Iran: Not that We Want Them, But You Can't Stop Us!

That's about it. The Supreme Leader assures us that Iran isn't working on nuclear weapons, and that Iran doesn't want them. But if it did want Nukes, there's nothing the West could do to stop them from getting them.

Let's think about this for a second. There are two possibilities for Obama.

First, he can accept the word of the Supreme Leader, Allah's Deputy on Earth.

Or, second,  Obama can assume that Allah's Deputy on Earth is lying and has just informed us that the sanctions WILL NOT prevent the Iranians from developing nuclear weapons.

If Obama accepts the first premise, then he should drop all the sanctions, because, after all, what justification is there for punishing the Iranian people for doing nothing? 

If Obama does not believe the Supreme Leader about developing nukes, then Obama should act accordingly, given the fact that he has stated for the record repeatedly that he will not allow the Iranians to develop nuclear weapons. 

But, of course, Obama will adopt a third approach and assume that Khamenei  is lying about nuclear weapons and bluffing about ignoring the sanctions. Obama will do this because he hopes--and his policies are generally based on hope--that none of this crap will blow up before his second term is over.
