The U.S. Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates, said at the end of last week that he is opposed to an attack on the Iranian nuclear facilities, despite the issue of Iranian weapon buildup.
Ha'aretz reported this morning that speaking to a group of 50 American scholars, community leaders and other civilians at the Pentagon, Gates said the best response to Iranian attempts to attain nuclear weapons was dialogue. "There's a lot of talk about a military effort to take out their nuclear capabilities, but, in my view, it would only be a temporary solution."
