Bribing Iran is a Strategy For Disaster

Iran: As the ayatollah renews the demand that sanctions be lifted immediately, the U.S. offers high-tech nuclear equipment to an enemy whose nuclear weapons program it seeks to end. Call it play-dead diplomacy.

If you knew a gambling addict at risk of losing his family's life savings was in Las Vegas at the blackjack tables, would you make a deal with him that limited him to slot machines that take only quarters?

That's similar to the approach that the Obama administration is taking a week before yet another deadline in the Iran nuclear talks.

Tehran is being offered advanced light-water nuclear reactors that the administration hopes would replace the heavy-water Arak plant, which when completed will be able to produce plutonium to fuel multiple atomic explosives each year.

A June 19 draft proposes allowing Tehran "the leadership role as the project owner and manager" of the new, allegedly non-threatening Arak facility. The once-secret Fordow facility, buried under a mountain near the sacred Muslim city of Qom and possibly impervious to air attack, would be converted from uranium enrichment to isotope production.

But it can easily be shifted back to uranium enrichment, since the technology is identical. We will apparently turn to Communist China to revamp the Arak reactor — the same China that helped Iran get its nuclear program up and running and is the biggest purchaser of Iranian oil, subtly evading U.S. sanctions.

"If Iran cheats, the world will know it," President Obama said in April as he announced another agreement with Iran to have an agreement that's yet to materialize.

The world may very well know it, but will the free world do anything about it? With sanctions removed and the investment of all this technology, and all the money Western firms will make dealing with Iran, no amount of cheating will convince European nations and our other partners to re-impose sanctions.
