The war game set up by Gardiner did not even present to the participants the crucial question: Can the United States allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons? If the answer is absolutely not, then there really is no sense fretting about how difficult the task ahead is --the least difficult path must be determined and followed. If the answer is "yes," then why bother.

This is is an unfair criticism of the Fallows' piece. The idea was to see if there was a military option of any sort available; the conclusion was that were no such means available.

It does not really matter whether a decision had been made that they were intolerable. Under any scenario, we can't do it.

I'd like to see our enormous popularity with the Iranian people somehow be put to use in defusing their nuclear effort. If we attack or invade, this popularity goes out the window.
