"LONDON (Reuters) - Nobody sees military action as the best way to tame Iran's suspected nuclear weapons ambitions, but as the rhetoric heats up, mutual miscalculation could suck Tehran and Washington into an unpredictable showdown.
European-sponsored talks have yet to resolve the dispute over Iran's nuclear enrichment programme, which could help it build a bomb. With postwar Iraq in turmoil, the world is jittery about any fresh instability in the oil-supplying Gulf region."
When they say, "Nobody sees military action as the best way," I think they mean, "Nobody who holds the enlightened view of foreign policy would think military action as the best way." It may not be the best way, but it may end up being the only way. Reuters has decided, it seems, that military action would be a completely idiotic option. Our President has said that we will not allow Iran to possess nuclear weapons. I believe that he is willing to use military force when (not if) diplomacy breaks down. And I am one who thinks that he should.
Update: I just noticed this was not a news wire, but an "Analysis." Either way, I think Reuters' is wrong. And I think that this is the way they think, and it distorts their coverage.
