I don't think it's a good idea to bribe Iran either. Didn't work when Clinton bribed North Korea, and I don't see a lot of difference.

That being said, I suspect that if it were President Kerry negotiating with Iran in cooperation with Europe, it would be praised as the height of diplomatic genius.

A few weeks ago, we were listening to liberals all over America bitching about Bush's militant approach to Iran, and praising Europe's more "nuanced" and "mature" approach. Now what?

Face it, the entire political philosophy of some people consists of looking to see where Bush stands, and opposing it.
