What other choice is there? The rest of the major players in this affair (Russia, France, Great Britain, and Germany), seem resigned to let the Iranians build a nuclear weapon. The Iranians themselves have admitted that they have dragged out the "talks" so they could continue their clandestine development program. The only thing they don't admit is that they are building a bomb, but everyone knows that is exactly what they are doing.
So the two options are: let Iran get the bomb, or be prepared to prevent that from happening at all costs, because they clearly are not going to be deterred by anything short of removing the choice from them. Do I want to engage them? No. I don't want to engage them, now or in the future. But I think we are better off engaging them now than dealing with the same lunatic theocracy as a nuclear power three years from now.
