Bomb Bomb Bomb, Bomb Bomb Iran

I'm sure I've written about this before, but it's not really diplomacy if you require that the other party do what you are asking them to do as a precondition to negotiations. If we want Iran to stop enriching uranium, you can't just say "stop enriching, and then we can talk." Diplomacy is not something out of Peter Pan, where if you close your eyes, and wish hard enough, and say "stop enrichment" enough times, it'll just happen.
