A Surefire Path to a Nuclear Iran
(Wall Street Journal) Editorial - One option being considered by the Administration is to join the EU in offering Tehran a package of incentives in exchange for a formal Iranian commitment to renounce plans to build a bomb. The intention is to create a united front with the Europeans now in the hope that they will join the U.S. later if Iran continues to violate its NPT commitments. The U.S. cannot be indifferent to a nuclear Iran. The problem is not that we have yet to hit on the right mix of carrots and sticks to cajole Iran into responsibility. The problem is that Iran's theocratic regime is by its nature inimical to American interests; any move that extends its life also prolongs the hazard it poses to the U.S. Signing on to Europe's strategy offers one certain outcome: a nuclear Iran.
