The Inertia Option

I hope Iran policy makers in Washington and Europe are reading histories of that world-changing year, 1989. I hope so because the time has come to do nothing in Iran.

On Leadership Panelists Bad leaders like Ahmadinejad must be forced to change.

During the past thirty years, Iran has been a sworn enemy of the United States. During the past five years, Iran has become far more powerful a player than before -- this in a region of critical strategic importance. During the past five years, Iran has sought aggressively to acquire more arms, now including nuclear arms. During the past year (as well as before) Iran oppressed its own dissenters -- many to the point of persecution. Finally, Ahmadinejad has himself, ironically, repeatedly and in no uncertain terms, been a Holocaust denier and Jew-hater. To gild this lily he has spoken openly and frequently of obliterating the state of Israel, of "wiping it off the map."

Creative Opportunism’ on Iran

What I'm arguing for is an Iran policy of "creative opportunism." We should take advantage of the fact that our biggest adversary in the Middle East has just had a political crackup. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's vote-rigging putsch has backfired. Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's attempt to squelch protest has only revealed his weakness. In the post-election turmoil, even Ahmadinejad and Khamenei have been squabbling.

Mr. Obama and Iran

President Obama has set a constructive new tone for trying to engage Iran. He told an Arabic-language TV network: "If countries like Iran are willing to unclench their fist, they will find an extended hand from us." And he showed refreshing humility after the Bush administration's arrogance: "Americans are not your enemy. We sometimes make mistakes."
