"Negotiator Picked for Post At State Dept."
A7, Tuesday 2/24/09,
By Mark Landler
As defined in the last paragraph, a “tough” approach toward Iran includes “persuading Europe to increase economic pressure”. Certainly Dennis Ross and his "United Against a Nuclear Iran" are seriously dedicated to preventing Iran from acquiring nukes. Yet the adjective “tough” has been used in the past to imply a war-like stance against Iran.
In a paper so often contrasting Obama's new, less confrontational approach to Bush's, it would be interesting to see Landler define Obama’s approach toward Iran, which has, like Ross, also been for increased economic pressure.
