By Pejman Yousefzadeh

Few people deserve to be the NATO Supreme Commander more than General David Petraeus does. But nominating him at this time would be a bad idea. the situation in Iran is dramatically improving but that situation is still on a knife's edge. There is so much more that needs to be done in the country and with Petraeus currently in charge and turning Iraq around for the better, now is not the time to change the leadership structure around.

I am sure that Petraeus someday will be NATO's Supreme Commander and eventually, he deserves to be the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He will get those opportunities in due course. But Iraq is where the action is at and where the need is currently located. Here's hoping that the General sticks around there so that the country's reconstruction continues apace.
