Iran Events Affect U.S. Policy

[Chicago Tribune] Jonah Goldberg - President Obama's foreign policy agenda as it relates to Iran is over. The rule book he came in with is as irrelevant as a tourist guide to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. If the forces of reform and democracy win, Obama's plan to negotiate with the regime is moot, for the regime will be gone. And if the forces of reform are crushed into submission by the regime, Obama's plan is moot because the regime will still be there. Politics and decency will simply demand that the world condemn or shun the regime of Ahmadinejad and Khamenei if they come out on top. Even the most soulless realists will be repulsed by the blood on the regime's collective hands. Anyone who shakes hands with Ahmadinejad will have a hard time washing the blood off his own hands.
