IranExpert has an interesting article about a paper from CPD (a very hawkish organization) about a plan for non-military approaches to the iranian problem, from their perspective. The article is at the following URL: http://www.iranexpert.com/2004/neocon22december.htm I did some additional research, and there are significant links between CPD and the bush administration, so it's very likely the policy paper will have some influence in the administration. The contents of the paper can be found at the following URL: http://www.fightingterror.org/newsroom/CPD_Iran_policy_paper.pdf As mentioned in the iranexpert paper, William Beeman has been highly critical of the paper. He has written fairly extensively on US-Iran relations.
