"In spite of past failures and the inauspicious political environment in Tehran, the death of Bin Laden should prompt reconsideration in both [the United States and Iran] about the possibility of reviving direct talks on Afghanistan. To date, Washington has been hesitant on this front, for fear of undercutting its diplomatic efforts to forestall Iran’s nuclear ambitions. This tunnel vision is short-sighted."
