Clark talking sense on Iran
In a lengthly discussion of options for dealing with Iran, Steve Clemons of The Washington Note comments:
The only presidential candidate who has been talking semi-sensibly about the "realities" in the Middle East as they are and not in some fictionalized sketch is Wesley Clark.While Clark believes that we need a great deal more diplomatic effort to redirect Iran from its current nuclear course, he also knows that one can't deal with either Iran or Iraq in a bubble unto themselves. General Clark has stated publicly that America needs to do a deal with Iran. He believes we cannot manage Iraq and potential explosive realities in the region without buy-in from Iran. In that, there may be opportunities to appeal to Iran's desire to be less isolated on the international stage and dealt with in a more dignified way given its size and importance in the region.
