What to do about Iran

By Josh Levs, CNN

November 10, 2011

Several analysts say that military action is not the way to go.

“Military action is just too risky and has little possibility for payoff,” analyst Laicie Olson of The Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation said in a blog post for CNN’s Global Public Square.

And, she writes, “all peaceful alternatives have not been exhausted.”

“More active U.S.-Iranian diplomacy, involving a range of issues about which the two countries differ, would expand the negotiating space, facilitate the reaching of agreements on nuclear matters consistent with U.S. interests, and permit communication to prevent crises from spiraling out of control,” she writes.
