And the West – the US, Europe, and, more than any other country, Israel – will have to get used to the idea of living with an Iranian civilian nuclear-power program, while limiting Iran’s capacity to become an emerging military nuclear power. As the very different examples of the Soviet Union and China show, the Iranian regime might someday collapse or change fundamentally – probably when hardly anyone expects it.
而西方（美国和欧洲，尤其是以色列）一定要接受与伊朗民用核计划共存的思想，同时限制伊朗成为新兴的核军事强国。虽然两者差别很大，但苏联和中国的例子都表明伊朗政权或许会在某天崩溃或发生根本变化——很可能是在任何人都没有预料到时候。��此之前，我们必须竭尽全力共同化解伊朗这颗核定时炸弹的威胁。
