Charles A. Kupchan and Ray Takeyh: Easing sanctions, releasing Iranian assets frozen since the revolution and ultimately establishing diplomatic relations should also be on the table.

my friend's comment on this post:... and while we are there why don't we make Ahamdinejad the KING!!!

and Roger (another friend)comments : Not king. Just send him to Disney World. It would make a great commercial:

"Ahamdinejad where are you doing?"

"I'm going to Disney to heap scorn on the Great Satan!"
