For the thirtieth or fortieth time this year, all estimates of Iranian nuclearization have been proven overly optimistic. Good job Europe!
No worries. Given negotiations some time. No doubt they’ll bear fruit one of these days. Whether that day comes before or after Iran makes good on its promise to rain down tens of thousands of missiles on the Jewish State – well, that’s hardly Europe’s problem. In fact, there’s an entirely incorrect but very popular understanding of Muslim fanaticism that suggests that it might actually solve some of Europe’s problems. If we were just a little bit more paranoid, we might even begin to suspect a link between those two policies. But alas, no – we make it a policy never to ascribe to malice what can be explained as a deeply rooted historical tendency toward rank appeasement.
