On Iran, Giving Futility Its Chance
Current World News Comments (0)
Let’s imagine, and this is purely hypothetical, that President Bush has already decided that he will not leave office in January 2009 without a satisfactory resolution of the Iranian nuclear problem. Let’s imagine that he has already determined that if he cannot obtain Iran’s agreement to dismantle its nuclear weapons program voluntarily and verifiably, then he will order some form of military action to destroy as much of that program as possible before he leaves. Let’s imagine that he has resolved not to end his two terms in office the way Bill Clinton ended his, by leaving every major international crisis — from Iraq to Iran to North Korea to al-Qaeda — for his successor.
