Doesn't the US have another way to conduct global business except threats? Seems that our diplomacy is geared to "we'll blow you up if you don't do as we wish". My question is why should other countries do as we wish? If we believe that other countriies are sovereign nations, then we should but out of their business. In the case of Iran weshould go to them and ask: what are your greatest problems and then offer to help them solve those problems. Why not give that a try, since all our other efforts are getting nowhere.
