Michael is scheduled to be a panelist on Fareed Zakaria GPS this morning, where the focus will be on Iran.
Also, CNN has posted a Q&A with Fareed regarding Iran.
UPDATE: Another fascinating discussion — Michael, Christiane Amanpour, and Vali Nasr discussed the current state of talks with Iran and the latest EU negotiations (the talks about the talks) as well as the threats towards Israel and the possibility that Israel may hit Iran’s nuclear facilities with an airstrike. The SoFA was also briefly mentioned, and Michael again explained the potential for Iraq to use leftover legislation from the CPA to dictate the terms under which US forces could remain in the country.
I thought what Vali Nasr said about how Iran is trying to rally its Arab neighbors to support it (the “charm offensive”) was very interesting — so much for our reliance on the Arab/Persian differences to keep them apart. The Bush policies of the past six years have put us in such a bad light in the Arab world — well, in most of the world — that we have very little room to operate diplomatically. (In all honesty, I am just waiting for Bush to issue one of his cowboy idiocies to throw a monkey wrench into the advances the EU is making at the moment. One smartass “Yeah, I knew we could make them back down” now and he’ll pretty much guarantee Ahmahdinejad another term as president.)
