We've backed it into a corner and given it few options. Iran needs to be plugged into the global economy. Once its people are engaged economically, and it will have plenty of internal motivation to play better with others. What Iran needs more than anything right now is something to lose.

We should leave Iran an honorable path of retreat. Engaging Iran in the global economy is the only approach that has merit. Regardless of Iran's size however, we should be careful what we assume about Iran; it has some ten million men of military age. Puor bien savoir les choses, il en faut savoir le detail, et comme il est presque infini, nos connaissances sont toujours superficielles et imparfaites. Unfortunately, what we do know is that the Bush administration cannot be trusted to do what it says. Iraq taught us that lesson. Many experts have long been predicting that Bush would invade Iran before he leaves office. But of course, the Bush administration would never admit to such a thing. “On ne donne rien si liberalement que ses conseils.” But it is the man who follows his own counsel, he’s the one that should lead. Iran can’t control the global price of oil…yet.
