Barry: capitulation is right

I agree but it’d more about finding a good solution than about not giving in.

The fact is that the sanctions didn’t slow them down, on the contrary it only seemed to make them more defian, their pride wouldn’t allow them to give in. This new deal gives them an opportunity to give in with their pride intact, it’s let’s the feel like winners but but still forces them to change.

Of course that only works in theory, the medrash tells us what’s really going to happen. Very interesting and very scary.
