Again -- he goes beyond condemning the current situation, and presents a step by step template.
First, the situation as it stands:
Iran did resume work on uranium enrichment, which is the most likely method it would use to produce the fissile material for a bomb.
But at its current pace, the NIE concluded that Iran could produce that material no earlier than the end of 2009 – but that this is very unlikely. More likely is that Iran will be capable of making enough material for a bomb sometime between 2010 and 2015.
This means that the answers to the questions I posed are no, war is not inevitable and yes, we can prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. There is still time for diplomatic engagement and economic pressure to work. There is still time to protect our interests without using force.
The Five Steps: (He expounds on each of these points at the link, if you're interested.)
From Regime Change to Conduct Change
Instead of regime change, we need to focus on conduct change.
First, working with allies and partners, not acting alone, we must make it very clear to Iran what it risks in terms of isolation if it continues to defy the international community’s demand that it stop enriching uranium.
Second, we need to do a far better job managing great power relations with China, Russia, and our allies in Europe. We need a common understanding with them because they have more leverage than we do.
Third, we must exploit growing cracks within the ruling elite and between Iran’s rulers and its people.
Fourth, Iran can’t be dealt with in isolation. We have to connect the dots.
Fifth, we must end our dependence on the “Axis of Oil.”
