"There are many non-military measures to "contain" Iran, including a de-escalation of rhetoric and hysteria all around, and agreeing to negotiations in earnest for the first time — if indeed all options are on the table."

Containment really means gaining control, making the Iranians bow down to the U.S. and if they refuse....

And God knows they DO refuse!

Trying to convince a society to change their beliefs is not going to work. We need to reinforce THEIR beliefs and protect their society. We need to show them that their fundamental belief system is good and it doesn't have to be achieved thru oppression and hate.

They will do fine in the big picture and with out us or US trying to control them into our way of thinking, lord knows we love to dominant"everything".
seems to me they are no better nor wers than our selves.
Its just a matter of the time line, they are doing now what we have already done, I believe we should support peace not enforce it.
