Bush to Iran: Put Up Your Nukes

Any qualified student of history would attest to the concept that foreign policy is an ongoing process of trial and error. Very often, what worked in the past is quite worth replicating. However, the failure of a given policy might not indicate that it should never be tried again. The conditions by which a strategy failed in the past either might not exist today, or have changed enough to make it more viable under current circumstances.

A good example of this precept is our present state of diplomacy – or, maybe, lack thereof – with Iran, and how we are allowing the failures of the past in North Korea to prevent us from effecting what could be a winning strategy today.

DoctorZin Note:

I appeared on John Batchelor's Show on WABC, tonight with other Iran bloggers: Roger L Simon and Dan Darling. We had a great time and have been invited back for more updates in the future. If you aren't familiar with his broadcast you listen to it over the internet week nights from 10PM to 1AM. He is very informed and runs an excellent, fast paced broadcast.
