A British newspaper the Guardian has revealed that President Obama and his team are drafting a letter to send to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. It is in response to a congratulations letter that Ahmadinejad sent to Obama on November 6.
Guess Obama might really come through with some of those things he talked about when he campaigned. This is the most honest looking one, talking to leaders that the previous administration would not.
Looks like The One (and only) and Ahmadinejad (Iran's "Fonzie") may be be singing..."This Could Be The Start of Something Big", together. The One gave Ahmadinejad rave reviews in the telecast interview with Al-Arabiya lately, so why could not one good turn deserve another?
I think this is a positive, "step-in-the-right-direction" sort of thing, however.
I disagreed completely with Bush on his giving some Mid East leaders the shine. Without speaking face-to-face and without this personal touch (sic), the US kept a distance which did not assist much in community relations, did it? There is no harm at all in evoluting rhetoric and meeting personally to discuss and formulate better international relationships between Iran and the United States, although many people in both countries continue to make effigy's of each other's President's and burn their flags in public.
Okay...so now what's next?
