A sign of progress in thought around Iran and nuclear proliferation

Vali Nasr and Ray Takeyh write an excellent piece in the Washington Post today that I can only echo as the best hope for dealing with the Iranian regime and more effectively working towards a less confrontational relationship between Iran and the United States and Israel.

The Iran Option That Isn't on the Table

Unconditional dialogue would be a more effective and much more authentically democratic way of resolving this stand-off that has clearly humbled the propensity of Western countries to prevent Iranian nuclear aspirations through force.

Iran and North Korea are two very clear failures of the international community to force its way through the thorny issue of proliferation, if anyone is keeping count.

Nasr and Takeyh point us in a much more constructive direction.
