I certainly hope Obama is not really as polyannaish as it seems some Americans are regarding doing things like, interviews, "engagements", or responding to demands for apologies.

How about Iran discontinuing their nuclear program. Or, even if all they did was address technical questions regarding their program, "we" could be a lot more "connected" and would act like it. |
I meant "we" as in humanity. Its my opinion if things havent changed a couple hundred years from now we wont survive as a species. Iran has its problems, so do a lot of countries. The fact that the US has nukes, supplied Israel with nukes, and dictates how things are going to be to other countries seems a little hypocritical. Thats not to say I hope Iran develops weapons of mass destruction, there are already enough on this planet to destroy everything. A thought may be "but we dont go around saying we are going to attack other countries". There are really two pathways of thought: investigate the root of anger or disregard the reasons and hone in on the actions. The later carries the attitude that the "war on terror" can actually be won.
