Unless you're willing to invade Iran — and even if we were, Iraq makes that impossible — this is a reasonable approach, which brings their nuclear program under observation and makes any separate Iranian program an automatic violation.
Bush's solution is to send in inspectors backed by the threat of force. Wait a minute: isn't that the approach he pooh-poohed in Iraq? And any threat of force isn't credible, since about the only unit we have available to attack them with is a Reserve public affairs battalion.
Now, personally, I think the inspections in Iraq worked — hence the lack of WMDs. But I don't see how you guys can back Bush in Iraq AND back his plan in Iran.
