[Marxism] Washington "Painted Itself into a Corner" over Iran?

[Yoshie Furuhashi <furuhashi.1@xxxxxxx>]

"Washington 'Painted Itself into a Corner' over Iran?" (Arnaud de
Borchgrave claims that Washington "has gradually painted itself into
a corner in its diplomatic campaign to get Iran to cough up its
nuclear ambitions."  Is it rue?  If Washington is smart, it can
pursue a two-track campaign with regard to Iran [indeed, it may be
doing so already]: [A] public pressures against Iran on nuclear
weapons, including threats to use military force [such as bombings
and special forces] and support for pro-Washington Iranians [there
must be some] in Iran [ostensibly universal "democracy support,"
semi-open funding for political forces to its liking, and covert
actions to win over key elements of the Iranian military and police];
and [B] behind-the-scene negotiations with Teheran to get it to use
its influence on Ayatollah Ali Sistani and other Shiite leaders for
Washington's benefits. . . .) -- full text at
