The State Department and its European counterparts know what they want: negotiations.

The rest of this article, though good, is redundant.

It's time to get some new blood in the state department. Too many entrenched ideologues too used to "dialogue" and compromise with the enemy.

Most of this article is nothing but an attempt to divide the base(us). We all know that the State Department has a bunch of entrenched left wing cronies and clinton holdovers.....wake up..the only reason that the Washington Compost printed Perles 'tantrum' was in the hope that we will all get mad about it.

Get real..we need to be on the side of our troops right now..like our President. Our troops don't need to 'open' Iran right now..especially when we can nuke them if push comes to shove!

You are right. The problem is that these people are "enlightened, broad minded, see the big picture" while you and I do not. I know first hand they in large measure view GIs as retrograde and conservatives as subhuman.
