Talk before fighting

Nicholas Burns, former diplomat, offers an approach to the Iran situation.  He acknowledges that the approach, which is diplomacy, may fail, but, as a civilized nation, we must first try it.  There are three parts to his approach:
  • Bi-lateral - the US and Iran - talks.  We haven't talked like that since before the hostage crisis.
  • We must be ready to "permit Iran civil nuclear power but deny it a nuclear weapon."
  • We, not Israel, must be in charge of the negotiations.
Makes sense to me.
