(ABC News) Tahman Bradley - Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) told the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington Wednesday that the world will judge the United States on its success or failure stopping Iran's ambitions. "Some have suggested that we should simply learn to live with a nuclear Iran," Lieberman said. "In my judgment, that would be a grave mistake. And as one Arab leader I recently spoke with pointed out, how could anyone count on the United States to go to war to defend them against a nuclear Iran, if we were unwilling to go to war to prevent a nuclear-armed Iran in the first place?" Lieberman said the time has come for the U.S. to step up pressure on Iran if it becomes clear that sanctions against the country will not work, and he hopes President Obama will make an assessment of the current Iran strategy by the end of the year. He also said, "If military action must come, the United States is in the strongest position to confront Iran and manage the regional consequences. This is not a responsibility we should outsource." 2010-10-01 09:18:13Full Article
