Dealing with Iran

I am one of those who thinks that eventually, we may be left with no choice but to go after Iran militarily. However, I can and will certainly admit that this is NOT the only option available to us, at least right now, and there is an interesting column on RealClearPolitics from political science professor Dr. Patrick James in which he argues that going after Iran militarily is unnecessary at this point: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/02/for_us_foreign_policy_selfinte.html. Given that he is a former professor of mine, I take his words and advice very seriously. If he says that we should wait, it's something that we certainly ought to consider.
