Roger Cohen: The Making of an Iran Policy
While I was off at a beach, NY Times columnist Roger Cohen was hard at work. Cohen, you will recall, provided the most dramatic reporting on the aftermath of the Iranian June 12 elections, mingling with demonstrators on the street, with tear gas swirling and a scent of history in the air.
Last Sunday he wrote the most comprehensive summary to date of the Iranian developments and their implications for the Obama team’s foreign policy. I read it quickly at the time, but now I’ve had a chance to read it again, more carefully. It is full of first class reporting mixed with sharp political analysis.
If, like me, you are just starting to come out of your summer cocoon, this is the place to begin your reentry into the Middle East policy world.
