> Spector thinks such a time frame is still reasonable enough for the United States to dissuade Iran from continuing down that path. > "All the really dangerous actions that Iran can do, haven’t been done," he said. "They do not appear to be manufacturing parts or developing designs for an advanced nuclear weapon. So if the U.S. can strike a deal with them where both sides can find some satisfaction, it may be enough to end the crisis." This seems hopelessly naive to me. The "crisis" is that we don't trust Iran with nukes. What magic negotiation or concession can we offer in the next 18 months that will get them to stop pursuing nukes that we haven't tried before? They may halt facilities, only to move them underground or fire them up later when it is to their advantage. It's like the NK situation all over again.
