Why Iran should be at the top of Obama's priority list

It is impossible to underestimate the threat of nuclear arms in the hands of a despot who engages in election fraud and who terrorizes people into submission. However, Ahmadinejad and his Revolutionary Guards far more than that. Iran is far more volatile and unpredictable than any of the previous communist despotic regimes with nuclear ambitions. Communists, being atheists, have no belief in heaven or hell. As such they are committed to preserving their existence in this world since this is the only life they have. Under such circumstances, the theory of Mutually Assured Destruction holds. Not so for the religious fanatics of Iran who believe that sacrificing themselves in destroying the infidels in the "House of War" will garner them 72 virgins in heaven. Iran has no interest in giving up its nuclear weapons program. Obviously, if they had no interest in nuclear weapons, they wouldn't have "peaceful civilian" nuclear plants in the first place. What energy needs are there that merit the construction of expensive, long-term nuclear plants in a country that has the world's third largest oil reserves of 136 billion barrels? Hence no matter how much diplomacy Obama uses, nothing is going to happen. They are far more likely to stall for time and re-engage Obama when they have the weapons, from a position of power. The lack of any achievement in Obama's diplomacy strategy seems to vindicate this.
