  7. Could Iran's presidential politicking open door to nuclear deal?

    &nbsp;Thirty years of punishing sanctions have failed to curb Iran&rsquo;s rogue behavior.

Yes, I wrote, it&rsquo;s a slippery slope, but the U.S. interests in that part of the world are so great that it's dangerous to stand by.
