That's the big question mark. I don't know that Europe has the appetite. They're already under pressure. Israel has clearly stated it's intentions, so I don't know that Obama is left a lot of room to do anything other than lay the deal on the table, and hope. I think it's doomed to failure, but only time will tell whether that's entirely true or not. There's little doubt that the nations of the ME would prefer sanctions to nuking up, but Saudi Arabia, at least, has given signs they're fully prepared to do just that. I don't think Obama wants to be the president presiding over the introduction of a nuclear ME.
Well the French aren't to happy about the Iranians stance on their BM's. So that's a plus. Moreover Egypt will speak out and especially if the Saud acquire their Nuke from the Pakistani.
