[QUOTE="brazenbrown, post: 226361, member: 9007"] Thanks for the information! Nonetheless both authors are very qualified to make their case. [B] O' Hanlon[/B] is regarded as one of the most militaristic major national security experts in the [B]Democratic Party[/B]! source: [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_O%27Hanlon"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_O'Hanlon[/URL] And [B]Pollack[/B], has written other books as well. In 2004, his third book, [B]"The Persian Puzzle,"[/B] was published. In contrast to his views on Iraq, in "The Persian Puzzle" he argued that though the threat of force is necessary in dealing with Iran, diplomacy rather than regime change by force is the best way of dealing with Iran because Iran's policy-makers are divided between pragmatists who are motivated by a desire to improve the economy and hardliners who fear US attack and so seek a nuclear deterrent, - the USA can thus exploit this divide to negotiate a favourable agreement. He also argued that the hardliners leader, Supreme Leader [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_Khamenei"]Ali Khamenei[/URL], was, unlike [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saddam_Hussein"]Saddam Hussein[/URL], rational and risk-averse and so, even if Iran did acquire a nuclear capability, Iran could be deterred in a way that Saddam Hussein could not be.
