The US dual-containment policy of Iraq and Iran is faltering. Efforts to preserve the post-Gulf War status quo of 1991 are failing, as both Western and Arab allies repudiate US rigidity in the face of changing political circumstances. In Iraq, the US must find a balance between security and humanitarian objectives. In Iran, the goal should be to integrate the Islamic Republic into the international economic and security environment in return for Tehran abandoning its weapons-of-mass-destruction programmes and support for violent terrorist operations. Washington's attempts to pursue a more flexible diplomatic strategy have been thwarted by five years of sanctions legislation and public sloganeering, but change is essential if the US is to avoid a collision with its most important allies.
