Why Bush Won't Attack Iran

By Steve Clemons

I have a piece today on the front page of Salon.com titled "Why Bush Won't Attack Iran." The public comments at Salon are running about 3 to 1 against the premise of my argument - which is that while some analysts like Zbigniew Brzezinski see a military attack on Iran as likely given our current course, most making that assertion are not working through what we know about Bush's posture and those empowered around Bush to generate "third option strategies."
