OBAMA didn't sit this out to appease Iran. He did it because failed attempt after failed attempt to intervene and "help" have proven disastrous. From Bush's abject failure in Iraq that empowered Iran, to attempts to sit back in the Arab Spring in Egypt and not sit back in Libya have shown this is a part of the world that doesn't do well with outside intervention.
