The last thing we want is for Russia and Iran to band their nuclear efforts together. I suspect that there is a lot of behind the scenes negotiations going on. With the Middle East, it all almost always goes on behind the scenes.

My discussion question to both of you is why do you think it is so much more urgent now? Since the Iranians seized our Embassy in Tehran, the religious fundamentalists have been running the country. The Iranians have been impoving their nuclear capability for 10 years now -- so why is it so critical that Obama do something immediately?

Regarding Reagan and the "tear down this wall" -- you may remember that at the time it was clear that the Soviet Union was in a serious political and economic funk. So while it was a wonderfully symbolic moment, I don't believe it was the catalyst for the wall actually coming down. The Soviets could not sustain their empire any longer and it would have happened no matter what.
