The previous approach towards Iran by the Bush administartion was a failure. Iran grew relatively stronger and the region became more unstable because of US-Iranian tension. Hopefully Obama will change US policy towards Iran to benefit everyone. The Iranians are just stating the obvious, the change in policy obviously signifies the failure of past policies otherwise the policy wouldn't be changed!
Does anyone think the previous policy was working well?
The kooks of the world are going to have a fun four years winding up Obama.Iran says Obama's offer to talk shows US failure
Well look at that! Conservatives have said for years that people like those in control of Iran, Islamic Terrorist... and others respond not to appeasement, but strength, not to overtures of peace but to power.
Obama is not seen as a savior, but proof that America is weak, weak of spirit, weak of will and now lead by a weak man.
Folks, this is the start, and the weaker we seem, the more embolden these people will become. Good job America, we elected a wimp, and the world knows it.
Let's not make this about the Greatness that is independent_thinker2002.
Yeah, I can't believe it's me either.
I believe it worked to a certain degree. There seemed to be a stalemate.
Iran increased its influence in Iraq, Lebanon and Palestine and refused any major concessions on their nuclear project.
In fact it was only after the US started cooperating with the Iranians in Iraq that the situation started to improve there.
I'm not sure what you mean by a stalemate.
As far as talks to denuclearize Iran.
Also the idea that "military actions against Iran" was never off the table, shows that there was more of a moderate approach from the Bush admin, then could be taken.
Iran has never actually claimed to be persuing nuclear weapons, so the fact that they still don't claim to be doing so isn't really a US victory. Iran has insisted on its right to independently develop nuclear power, this is something they still insist on and they still refuse to allow the US to stick its nose in.
US military action against Iran became extremely unlikely after the US got into such a mess in Iraq. The fact that Bush never "ruled it out" just showed that he was unwilling to take any steps that could lead to reconcilliation with Iran, not that they believed it was a viable strategy.
:lol: it's alright. avoid the point.
THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!
President Obama offering to talk is a much better method than the Republican method of bomb first, questions later.
The President has barely been in for a month and people are diving at him. I think his method will work very well in the Muslim world
A racist is a racist.
There is no sugar-coating racism.
The previous approach towards Iran by the Bush administartion was a failure. Iran grew relatively stronger and the region became more unstable because of US-Iranian tension.
After 911 the Democrats were desperate to show they weren't weaklings when it came to national defense.
Now we have an absolute rookie running the country who foolishly thinks speaking with these sorts will accomplish something positive. Lasting. Substantive. Obama offers a hand, they kick him in the balls. It's how they work. Obama must possess a level of arrogance to think His presence will change the dynamics on the ground with these morons.
What
.......
Exactly. More racists voted for Obama than against him. The entire Democratic Party platform is premised on racist notions. Democrats would have very few policies if they had to strip out the ones based on racist platforms.
So, let me get this straight, it's better to be seen as civilized by EU Countries, and seen as weak by countries like Iran and those that share their view, instead of feared by said countries and not liked by the EU.
Got it.
The USSR was not driven by an ideology that promoted self sacrifice to achieve the Will of Allah. Iranian leaders have made it clear, they WILL Destroy Israel. Israel will not sit around and wait for that to happen.
any proof of that statement?
Negotiations with Tehran is for the weak minded, low spirited people, apologising, even more of a bad idea.
Rogue states, and enemies of the USA will now begin to demand more and more from Obama, because they know he is weak.
I suggest America just goes full force with Iran, bomb the living **** out of it, and send it back to the stone age.
People aren't going to like you dissing Reagan like this.
Reagan is not the president.
Your ultra liberal leanings....Thats all. Born and raised in Dayton Ohio will leave the average NON-Lib with a few sharp edges ,as you just saw. "Test..." We may end up haveing to test the worlds tolerance of a counter NUKE strike against these frigin TERRORISTS.You think its test time ? F**K them and their camels. The have tested and failed at being acceptable to the human race. I hate Iran and any liberal who thinks we need to pass the Muslim worlds tests. My most humble HALF appologies to you,but I detected liberal whine ,and it just made me sick of my former home town. Obama has failed all testing in his first two weeks in office. This ain`t lookin to good.
Sure, just look at most national exit polls. Here is the CNN Exit Poll:
For those who thought that the Race of the Candidate was The Most Important Issue, Obama captured 58% of the vote compared to 41% for McCain. For those who thought that the Race of the Candidate was An important Issue but Not The Most Important Issue, Obama captured 52% of the vote compared to 47% for McCain. For those who thought that the Race of the Candidate was A Minor Issue, Obama captured 54% of the vote compared to 45% for McCain. For those who thought that the Race of the Candidate was Not An Issue, Obama captured 51% of the vote compared to 46% for McCain.
Never underestimate the power of the racists within the Democratic Party. Racism and implementing racist policies are key fundamental platforms for many of the rank and file.
A 17 point spread on race being the most important issue, a 5% spread on race being an important issue, a 9% spread on race being a minor issue and a 5% spread on race being a non-issue.
Oh and that makes them racist?
I see.
