I do not understand how Barnett can be this obtuse.

He is well aware of everything you are saying. And he is saying, "Iran is there, they are the biggest boy in the Persian Gulf, and we need to deal with that fact."

His approach is that you deal with them simply to try to pry them apart internally. They are not a Tyranny like North Korea, but an authoritarian Government that can potentially be "soft killed."

He believes we will end up having to fact the fact that they have nukes. I still tend to believe that we will have to stop them from getting nukes. Neither decision is one we will be happy with.

In the meantime, deal with the fact that there are several forces running things in Iran, and they don't all have the same goals. Might as well try to see what we can do before we make the decision to drop or not drop the hammer.
