Blix urges US to offer Iran security guarantee

Sweden’s former UN weapons inspector Hans Blix is advising the United States to cut Iran some slack and follow the path of diplomacy, the International Herald Tribune reports.
That approach — “a leaning toward diplomacy which we have seen in the case of North Korea” — has not been used with Iran, Blix said.
“On the contrary you have three U.S. aircraft carriers in the Persian Gulf which the Iranians may see as needing to protect themselves from in future,” he told reporters in Wellington.

Shouldn’t Hans Blix respect America’s ability to interpret and act on its own self-interests by not offering presumptuous advice? President Bush was hired by the American people to be commander-in-chief. It’s his call where three US aircraft carriers are sent and how he conducts diplomacy.

Need to get over this whole, “he wasn’t elected the first time” thing.
