...Talk with Iran? Walter Isaacson's suggestion that the U.S. should talk with Iran about stabilizing Iraq is delusional and dangerous [Dec. 4]. Iran might play along with the U.S. in order to gain time to complete its nuclear program so that it can control events in the Middle East and threaten the West. Iran has already been successful in helping humble the U.S. in Iraq, and it will surely pursue its goal of removing all Western influence from the Middle East.

...Despite Saturday's sanctions vote, the international consensus remains that diplomacy offers the only route to settling the Iran nuclear standoff. But the sanctions resolution looks unlikely to make Iran more amenable to addressing international concerns; instead it will likely push back and take steps of its own to raise the stakes. The six-party talks experience also underlines the difficulty of using sanctions as a negotiating tactic: North Korea used the revived six-party process to talk not about the nuclear issue, but about sanctions. And similarly Iran, rather than buckle, may be inclined instead to test Washington...
