Trying to buddy up to us this week? You might be interested in Karl Rove's statements published in the latest Atlantic from this year's Aspen Ideas Conference. Say what you will about Rove, his quotes about Iran basically said that we played the sanction card in 1979 so that's not really going to change anything now. The only non-military escalation of pressure on Iran is either covert action that stays below the level of commiting troops (like undeclared Soviet pilots in Korea) or convincing the rest of the world to follow the sanctions. Specifically the EU, China, India, and Russia. Did you know most of Iran's gas comes from India? They pump crude east to get it refined and it gets pumped back. There is very little domestic refining capacity.
