Indrajaya, it is too soon to say who "won." The goal of the Iranian government may just be a nuclear fuel cycle, or it might be atomic weapons. The technical evidence at this time argues strongly that their goal is to switch Iran to nuclear power. If it is not, then the mere fact that they are under IAEA safeguards and inspections means that Iran has lost. From the American side the goal of the Bush junta has always been war. There is great opposition to the US starting another war, and it is very probable that the efforts by the US to get an international consensus to justify an attack is just a sham as the overtures to the UN were in 2002. As this crisis was started by the Bush regime, if it has not conquered Iran by the time he leaves office then he and the neocons will have lost. If Iran has a tightly inspected and controlled nuclear power program with no weapons program, and the US avoids another unnecessary war, it is possible for both to win.
