Wednesday's Daily Briefing on Iran

DoctorZin reports, 3.2.2005:

Ruel Marc Gerecht, of the American Enterprise Institute, says "Europe Should Be Careful What It Wishes for in Iran."

• The European Union's approach to a nuclear Islamic republic could become more morally repellent to George W. Bush than was the Franco-German campaign against the Anglo-American invasion of Iraq...
• What the EU3 really wants from Washington is "Libya Plus": in exchange for good nuclear comportment, the Bush administration should forgive the Islamic republic its terrorism...
• But the EU3, in all probability, has done the opposite of what it intended. It has actually made it more likely that the Bush administration will take a tougher, more unilateral approach...
