Saber Rattling Over Iran
May 22, 2006 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents an editorial regarding the way in which the U.S. President George W. Bush administration is handling the perceived nuclear threat posed by Iran. The administration has created a crisis that is distracting public attention from Iraq but is also stiffening Iran's defiance and maybe accelerating its efforts to enrich uranium. Bush's threats against Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, have bolstered Ahmadinejad's popularity. A better strategy would be to return the question of Iran's nuclear program to the International Atomic Energy Agency and to engage Iran in regional diplomacy to prevent a widening civil war in Iraq.
