Contra Brzezinski

Efraim Halevy, the former head of Israel's Mossad, in an interview with Newsweek on the possibility of diplomacy with a nuclear-armed Iran:

Q: Could Iran's nuclear program be deterred, as former U.S. national-security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski recently suggested?

A: With all due respect, I differ from Brzezinski on this. I think once the Iranians have the capability, one should not assume that their mind-set would be the mind-set that we would like it to be. One of the big mistakes that can be made is to believe that once the Iranians have the capability, that they'll think like people think when they're in Washington. [Emphasis Added]

Indeed.
