Iran strikes me as most like china under Tseng. They liberalize in fits and starts. The primacy of the communist party (islamic clerics) must be maintained at all costs even if you get a Tianemen Square. However progress can only come with some degree of economic freedom not to mention predictablity. They also have their version of the sino-soviet split as in persian-arab. Although ostensibly they are supporting pal arabs while other arabs only give lip service to the cause, at the end of the day, persians and israelis have similar negative views toward said arabs. And also the entrepreunurial instinct is alive and well in both israel and iran, thus making some sort of rapprochement possible if some sort of workable two-state or three state solution can be worked out. Re nukes we live with chinese nukes, so we might have to end up living with iranian nukes for a time. Getting rid of nukes worldwide over time should be our stated policy, though how that is done is unknown to me now.
