Someone has been reading Flynt Leverett and Ray Takeyh.
Senator Barack Obama says he would “engage in aggressive personal diplomacy” with Iran if elected president and would offer economic inducements and a possible promise not to seek “regime change” if Iran stopped meddling in Iraq and cooperated on terrorism and nuclear issues …
Flynt Leverett’s words of wisdom here:
Diplomatic resolution of the nuclear issue inevitably will require a broad-based restructuring of U.S.-Iranian relations, amounting to an effective rapprochement between Washington and Tehran. As Iranian officials have repeatedly made clear in diplomatic exchanges and private conversations, Iran will not agree to strategically meaningful restraints on the development of its nuclear infrastructure without having its core security concerns addressed.
…
But, no American administration would be able to provide a security guarantee unless U.S. concerns about Iran’s support for terrorist organizations and its attitude toward Israel were also addressed. And, the Iranian leadership would not be willing or able to address those concerns absent a strategic understanding with Washington about Iran’s place in the region.
Sure as hell beats reading Norman Podhoretz.

Barack Obama stresses diplomacy. It will be a breath of fresh air when Barack Obama wins the presidency. Our nation will once again be respected by other countries.
Yes we can… the world is waiting.
What is Obama going to do about this issue? Corporate control?
