I hate to admit it but I do agree with Fastpat on this...the guy IS definetly trying to boost his country. This whole mess has been a cluster**ck, we should have engaged the Iranians and brought them in on the whole process in Iraq (Syria too). We need to have talks and hammer out our problems. Iran is absolutley the place we need to concentrate our efforts to stabilize that area. All they see is that we always side with Israel. dobn't get me wrong, I think they should be supported, but we need to extend the olive branch to ALL of these countries. That is the only way to stabilize the area.And this is not just on Us, Russia, France the UN should be deeply involved in these places to help re-educate and build infrastructures for a modern society.
Bush needs to have face to face talks, bottom line it has to happen. Iran is a credible country and it is a terrible snub to them not to give the respect that WE would demand of us.
