Tyson Brody, manning Spencer Ackerman's blog, has a really, really important piece for anyone who wants to seriously discuss the Iranian nuclear issue.

In my mind, the three best moves the US could make to resolve the Iranian nuclear issue would be to 1) dump the ambiguity on Israel's nukes, 2) make another big speech on non proliferation and a wmd-free world that specifically mentions the atrocities committed against Iranians during the Iraq-Iran war, and, 3) invite the Iranian President for a one-on-one around the UN session in September. But none of those things will never happen because the simple fact is that US foreign policy has drifted into the very dangerous place where most everyone who is considered "very serious" is either a myopic, lazy realist or a naive, hypocritical idealist.
