How to Counter Iran, by Victor Davis Hanson
We all know the Iranian M.O. — nuclear proliferation, Holocaust denial, threats to wipe out Israel, vicious anti-Western rhetoric, lavish sponsorship of terrorists at work attacking Israel and destabilizing Lebanon.
Hanson then asks:
What, then, should the United States do other than keep offering meaningless platitudes about "dialogue" and "talking"?
Push International accords
Prod the EU to pressure Iran
Support Iranian dissidents
Announce we don't want bases in Iran
Stabilize Iraq and Afghanistan
Remind Gulf monarchies that a nuclear Shiite theocracy is more dangerous than the United States or Israel
Continue to support Israel
Maintain our distance and moderate rhetoric
Conserve energy, gasify coal, diversify fuels, drill more, and invent new energy sources
