According to the article, it "began" more than a year ago.

Of course it did. Just like the current war in Iraq actually 'began' in 1991. Or in the 80's depending on who's counting.

Perhaps just waving that "big stick" will serve. What they do know (it's pointed out in the article that they're not stupid) is that this time there won't be any promises to "rebuild" and no offers of assistance.
I don't think the lesson of Fallujah is lost on them.

Hmmm...The solid Bush victory at the polls or the show of strength in Fallujah? Hmmm.
... delusions of grandeur.
It was neither, but rather fear of economic sanctions.

But why finally now and not already before?

The timing IS a bit suspicious. Personally, I don't care what the reasons are. Whatever strips them of their "delusions" is fine by me.
The so-called "agreement" doesn't amount to much anyway. I'll be curious to the "official" US response.

Steppenwolf - it's not just "us". Do you seriously think that if Iran pursues the path of obtaining nukes, they don't know they'll be the #1 target of both the US AND the Mossad?
I was merely curious about the timing of the so-called "agreement" to suspension. I don't seriously think we'll have to "threaten" military invasion as I don't think the leaders of Iran are blind. Sneaky as heck, but not blind.

the cockroaches you blanketly refer to all arabs and middle easterners as have a history of fighting tanks by throwing rocks at them...exactly what big stick it is that you think will deter them?
