"Iran is important, Iran is dangerous, Iran is urgent, and we have no choice but to deal with Iran, despite the negatives," Frank G. Wisner II, former U.S. ambassador to Egypt, told the committee. "In short, if we're to make any progress with the questions that we face in Iraq, Afghanistan, with the nuclear questions, energy issues, Israel-Palestine, we have to be able to take Iran into account and deal with it."At the committee hearing, a panel of Middle East experts and former U.S. ambassadors suggested other steps for dealing with Iran. Haass said the U.S. should abandon any hope for regime change within Iran. "Regime change is a wish, not a strategy," Haass said. "We need to have a strategy."

It is absolutely right that Iran is dangerous, but will and dealing even lead to something? I don't think so. In the end, Iran will have nuclear weapons and Obama will look like naive fool who thought he can change the world.
Kind regards, Jay
