More on Iran

Obama's engagement strategy has a chance of being successful if he can get Iranian allies Russia and China onto his side in a hurry. Iran is undoubtedly working to create nuclear weapons. The longer things drag out the more leverage Iran will have.  All of Iran's delays and posturing are nothing more than a test to see how far they can push the West. The West needs to finally come to terms with the fact that Iran is not necessarily a rational actor. Is anyone surprised that this situation is unfolding the way it is? President Obama and the rest of the West must be ready to act quickly and decisively before it's too late.

Michael Adler has a good piece here.

We are running out of time

The world needs to unite and finally address this major issue head-on while there still may be time left. It is completely unacceptable for the world community to simply spectate and allow Iran, and the madman at its helm, to acquire nuclear weapons. What will our options be when Iran has accomplished its goal? Who will stand up when a nuclear-armed Iran marches all over the Middle East?

Christopher Hitchens gets it.
