What Constitutes a "Decent Interval" for Iran Outreach?

By Jeffrey Goldberg

Jun 15 2009, 2:36 PM ET Comment

A Goldblog reader writes:

Roger Cohen says, "In the name of the millions defrauded, President Obama's outreach (to the Iranian regime) must now await a decent interval." My question is, what would be a decent interval?
Good question. Perhaps six hours for every thousand votes stolen, or two days for every demonstrator killed. Walt and Mearsheimer must hand out some sort of formula for this kind of thing at Realist Summer Camp.
