Fred Kaplan on negotiating with Iran. One of the reasons I keep linking to Fred Kaplan articles is that I never see anyone rebut them or say he doesn't know what he's talking about…and I cruise some pretty extreme websites on all sides. I visit sites where they twist themselves and common logic into balloon animals, trying to deny every scrap of news that is bad for their team…but I never see anyone say Kaplan doesn't know what he's talking about.
