Obama's murky deal with Iran does some talking about inspections of Iranian nuclear facilities to report when Iran starts building an atomic bomb. Apparently we don't get to do no knock inspections.
But, the question is, should the inspectors catch the Iranian cheating and bomb building, do we, the US, have the stones to do anything about it? Obama probably doesn't.
I have been reading Winston Churchill's "The Gathering Storm". After WWI the victors disarmed Germany and set up an inspection regime to make sure the Germans didn't cheat. Well, the Germans did cheat, and when they created a new Army and new Air Force, completely in defiance of the Treaty of Versailles, the French and the British lacked the stones to do anything about it. The Americans were into isolationism and coping with the Great Depression. And WWII happened.
I fear that only military action will keep the Iranians from the bomb.
