Editorial, The Wall Street Journal | July 22, 2008
The Bush administration has recently shifted its approach toward Iran and is treating it with unjustified leniency: the possibility of reopening a diplomatic mission in Tehran and face-to-face meetings are gestures Iran hasn’t earned. ++ Tehran continues with its uranium enrichment program, tests missiles capable of reaching Europe, sponsors terrorism in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Gaza and openly calls for the destruction of Israel. ++ Iran is treated with the respect due to a democracy while it keeps behaving like a rogue state.
