It seems to me that the sanctions levied on Iran were working or they would not be at the negotiating table ("Netanyahu's pointless speech," March 3). Maybe if we continue this policy, instead of the one we seem to be embracing, they would give up their nuclear program. This is just North Korea all over again. The lesson we have not learned is that our enemies never want to negotiate until they are on the very edge of losing. Look at the history. Korea would not come to the table until they basically were defeated. And now we have Iran who, in my opinion, will have the bomb within the next five years. The war option simply is not an option. We should continue to make life for the people of Iran extremely difficult so maybe they will have their own Arab Spring.
