Advance our policy interests and do the right thing? Unheard of!
Roger Simon flags Michael Ledeen advancing the idea for Iran:
With an unfriendly Iran pursuing nukes, we can figure out how to keep them from getting them... or we can make Iran friendly by supporting the student democratic movement. The second idea, if it works, seems much more palatable and Ledeen is wise to advance it.
One question, though: Before we take the extreme step of unilaterally promoting peace, stability and human liberty in yet another corner of the Middle East, shouldn't we give the UN one more chance? I'm thinking... Cash for No Nukes... The U.S. pays Iran not to develop weapons, the U.N. administers the funds... and when Kofi Annan gets the cell phone call in his gold-plated Mercedes announcing the destruction of Israel, he can call a press conference to say it's Bush's fault.
