Description
Summary:As the writers in this symposium illustrate, dealing with Iran's nuclear program is one of the most important foreign policy issues of the day. Years of stalled talks, diplomatic dead-ends, and sanctions have made it difficult to see exactly where progress has been made and what efforts are worth pursuing. In this Global Forum, leading foreign policy experts weigh in from around the world on the options for how to move forward with Iran-from diplomacy to fuel swaps to military strikes. Whatever their proposed solutions, the writers express one common theme: We ignore Iran at our own peril. From the US, Thomas R. Pickering (2010) , Lawrence J. Korb (2010) , and Bennett Ramberg; from Turkey, Mustafa Kibaroglu (2010) ; from Iran, Kayhan Barzegar (2010) ; and from Israel, Emily B. Landau (2010) . Over the months of November and December, this forum will continue at www.thebulletin.org .
