>> well, iran has this schizophrenia because it simultaneously has delusions of grandeur and profoundecurity. you could call it the sarah palin of nations. i would say this about the white house strategy. what obama administration is trying to do is to subject the iranian regime to enough pressure to bring it back to the table and get it to make meaningful compromises and there has been tremendous pressure in terms of the central bank sanctions, the currency crisis. there's external pressures as well, the syrian regime is the verge of collapse. the question is whether iran's supreme leader ayatollah khamenei will calculate whether he will seek deliverance in a nuclear compromise in order to bring about some relief or whether he will seek deliverance with a nuclear weapon itself thinking that that will bring him a shield from outside pressure. i think recent history doesn't bode very well because the example, the lesson which khamenei learned from the example in libya, qaddafi's example in lbya, was that when qaddafi abdicated his nuclear program, that made him vulnerable to outside in
