I think one of the most interesting things he says is that the Iranians are willing to talk, but Bush isn't willing to talk to them. If they do bomb Iran, how will they be able to say they exhausted their diplomatic options?
Another article in the New Yorker a few weeks ago also said that there was intense diplomacy going on a few years ago, and the Iranians were willing to sit down and put everything on the table, and then Bush delivered his Axis of Evil line, and it all stopped.
At least Hersch makes it seem unlikely that the military would keep the nuclear option on the table. But where does that leave us? With an inflammatory and ineffective bombing campaign. The one thing that can be said for tactical nukes is that they may be the only weapons that can do the job. But the lesson should be: scrap the military option, not "remember our success in Japan"!
