The U.S. is capable of engaging Iran in dialogue without sacrificing any of its interests or objectives. As a start, we should have communications with Iran concerning the margins of any regional security conference on Iraq, as we did in the case of Afghanistan. " The time for a new grand bargain with Iran's people has arrived, " wrote Abbas Milani-director of Iranian Studies at Stanford University, co-director of the Hoover Institution's Iran Democracy Project, and former professor at Tehran University-in the Wall Street Journal. " Instead of saber-rattling, the U.S. must encourage the unfolding discussions in Iran.... Every element of this new bargain-ending the embargo and replacing it with smart sanctions; lifting the bans on airplane spare parts and offering earthquake warning systems; and even direct discussions with the regime-must be seen as part of a grand strategy to help the Iranian people achieve their dream of democracy.
