It was hard to oppose negotiations, it always is hard. Churchill said, Its better to jaw, jaw than war, war (you need the accent to make it work). But a deal that is not a capitulation by one side requires two conditions: the parties must equally value the process; and there has to be a compatible endgame. The West invested the process with much more value than did Iran, providing the mullahs with instant leverage, but most important, there was no agreed-upon end game. -Shoshana Bryen (Underneath the Deal)
