How Not To Deal With Iran

The EU tried to grab the reins from the U.S. last year when it insisted on its "peaceful diplomatic" efforts to halt Iran's nuclear ambitions. The result so far is painfully clear: the EU's wishes are a complete failure.

Now Europe is finally threatening UN sanctions against Iran if it doesn't halt uranium production. Iran's response? No thanks; we're still building nuclear capabilities.

The EU wants to play with the "big boys," but the U.S. will soon have to take over if it wants any real results.
