West Cannot Settle for a Japanese-Style Status Quo in Iran
(Commentary) Max Boot - Can it really be that American and European officials can't tell the difference between Japan and Iran? That is what you would think reading Helene Cooper's Jan. 25 article in the New York Times. The West cannot settle for a Japanese-style status quo in Iran, hoping against hope the Iranian regime will not use its nuclear technology to produce a weapon. That is likely to prove a losing bet - something we won't find out until after the first Iranian nuclear test. By which time, it will be too late.
