...Given the regional instability generated by a nuclear North Korea, this is an experience Obama should not be keen to repeat. While the situation with Iran differs from North Korea in important ways??Iran is still a signatory of the NPT and is a more democratic state—there are still lessons to be learned.

That posturing worked: many in America have argued that the United States should not allow this development to threaten diplomatic relations by upsetting the Russians. These arguments, however, seems to want it both ways??they insist that the United States can neither back down and seem weak, nor prioritize a controversial missile shield over calm negotiation. Diplomacy can often work, and President-elect Obama will hopefully engage more countries in level dialogue than his predecessor. The Russians, however, constitute a special case...
