Comments on: Send Senator Kerry to Iran With The Right Message http://www.raceforiran.com/send-senator-kerry-to-iran-with-the-right-message Sun, 01 Aug 2010 00:42:09 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Chris http://www.raceforiran.com/send-senator-kerry-to-iran-with-the-right-message#comment-205 Chris Fri, 25 Dec 2009 03:44:32 +0000 http://www.raceforiran.com/?p=1265#comment-205 It beats my mind completely why the new administration has refused to engage Iran in a manner which is beyond rhetoric and threats. In the heat of the campaign, Mr. Obama took a political risk for saying that he was willing to talk to Iran when others said otherwise. He said, “The notion that somehow not talking to countries is punishment to them - which has been the guiding diplomatic principle of this administration - is ridiculous.” Yet, the president is continuing the same failed policies towards Iran. A high level visit to Iran with an open mind and willingness to listen and negotiate can easily diffuse the nuclear and other issues between the United States and Iran. But of course, the powers that be won’t have any of that. Let us wait and see… It beats my mind completely why the new administration has refused to engage Iran in a manner which is beyond rhetoric and threats.

Remember, Kerry is the one who learned the lessons of Vietnam, then forgot them and left them on the altar of political expediency. He was the one who was for the Occupation of Iraq before he was against it, but merely because we weren't doing the Occupation right. If I were the Iranians, I'd keep my hands in my pockets to protect my wallet and take a good, long shower after meeting with him. The man is simply despicable.
