The third model for engaging Iran is the Clinton model. Beating his own drum, Bill Clinton has rejected the threat of force and called for “engaging” Iran. This is how he put it in a recent speech: “Anytime somebody said in my presidency, ‘If you don’t do this, people will think you’re weak,’ I always asked the same question for eight years: ‘Can we kill ’em tomorrow?’ If we can kill ’em tomorrow, then we’re not weak.” Clinton’s pseudo-Socratic method of either/or-ing issues out of existence is too well known to merit an exposé. This time, however, Clinton did not ask enough questions. For example, he might have asked: What if by refusing to kill some of them today we are forced to kill many more of them tomorrow? Also: What if, once assured that we are not going to kill them today, they regroup and come to kill us in larger numbers?
