    Judging from your glee at “losing” the Olympic bid, you will likely be less than overjoyed if statecraft wins in the Middle East.

    It’s not a matter of my glee or any other emotional state. It’s a matter of national and global security.

    So, statecraft it is for the time being. You would carp if we bombed the piss out of them or at least say it wasn’t Obama.

    Michael Ledeen still thinks there’s time to facilitate regime change. He says the very next meeting with Iranian negotiators ought to start with a list of political prisoners and insisting on their release:

    WaPo deputy editorial-page editor Jackson Diehl likewise thinks regime change is our best shot, but he’s more pessimistic than Ledeen that it will occur, even on its own:

    I would think regime change (although it’s not our call, but we can “assist” I suppose, remember the mess resulting from our forced regime change in Iraq) would fall more under statecraft than shock and awe, or whatever slogan we have to come up with to fire up the troops and the peanut gallery here this time.
