In the absence of effective means to halt Iran's nuclear program without grave consequences - and as sanctions are unlikely to bite - a containment policy, or seizing diplomatic openings as Richard Nixon did as a bridge to the Soviet Union, might succeed in cooling tensions. Such a bold move would lead to greater cooperation in Iraq and Afghanistan and aid the reformist momentum inside Iran. - Brian M Downing (May 2, '10)
