About time someone realized this

"By reaching out to Iran, publicly and repeatedly, President Obama has made it extremely difficult for the Iranian regime to claim that they are battling an aggressive America bent on attacking Iran. In his inaugural address, his New Year greetings, and his Cairo speech, there is a consistent effort to convey respect and friendship for Iranians. That is why Khamenei reacted so angrily to the New Year greeting. It undermined the image of the Great Satan that he routinely paints in his sermons." - Fareed Zakaria in a CNN interview

And meanwhile the Republican idiots keep whining how we need to be TOUGHER on Iran, how diplomacy won't work, and how we need to bomb them.

I'm glad we finally have a president and administration smart enough to realize that war is a *LAST RESORT*, and should never be anything but a last resort.

And even then, it should always be about something worth fighting for.

Not every Republican is. And a good many of them are in support of the protesters in Iran, too.

Fareed Zakaria is not just a pretty face.

So he did immediately suspend combat operations on either front upon his election? I must have missed that...
