The United States has been acting crazy in dealing with Iran and Ahmadinejad during the Bush, and now the Obama, administrations.
It has been crazy to think that empty threats of "unacceptable", "grave consequences", "sanctions" etc. were actually going to deter Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.
It has been especially crazy for Obama to think that through his charismatic personality he could sweet talk Ahmadinejad into giving up its quest for nuclear weapons.
Ahmadinejad has been jerking Obama around like a puppet and is laughing at the puppet show.
Obama will not impose tough sanctions like a blockade and even this might not be enough.
The only realistic option is to destroy the nuclear facilities in Iran and Obama will never do this and Ahmadinejad knows it.
Meanwhile, Israel has a tough decision, it knows it cannot trust the United States, under Obama, to militarily and politically support Israel if it acts as a proxy for the United States in taking out the Iranian nuclear facilities.
As one example, the Obama administration will not give Israel the deep bunker busting bombs that are in the United States arsenal.
Israel, for it's own preservation, may have to go it alone as it did in bombing Iraq's nuclear bomb facility in 1981 and Syria's nuclear bomb facility in 2007, in a raid on Iran's nuclear bomb facilities. The irony would be that Israel winds up protecting all of the Western Powers from Islamic Terrorists getting nuclear weapons.
