We need to show Mid-east can have nuclear without nukes

EDITORIAL: U.A.E. 123, New York Times, January 18, 2009

As I argued in a post a couple weeks back, I like this agreement. We need to show the region that nuclear power is attainable to delegitimize Iran's particular pursuit.

I'm not saying that alone will stop Tehran's reach for weapon capacity. I'm saying that if you want to manage the repercussions of that dynamic as it unfolds, then this is a piece of the puzzle.
