Iran

For people who aren't very aware of what's going on in Iran and how this plays out in the presidential election, here is a little background information.

Iran is our enemy. They have nuclear weapons. Obama wants to talk to Iran while McCain does not, about getting rid of their nuclear weapons. McCain has criticized Obama about his wanting to talk to Iran, to which Obama says that this is diplomacy. We can't just talk to our friends, we have to talk to our enemies to prevent attacks. This can be seen in this video:


George Bush has also given his worthwhile two cents by comparing Obama to Chamberlain trying to appease Hitler before he invaded Poland. He gave this speech in Jerusalem, where there are plenty of Jewish people. MSNBC's analysts gave their criticisms in this video:

Bush needs to butt out, he has done enough damage. He doesn't need to go tarnish Obama's image too. Obama seems like he would be a capable president.

Everyone seems to be bashing on Bush. The total blame cannot be put on Bush, there are other people in Washington

I think Bush and McCain have a valid point, but how do they expect us to improve relations with these "Axis of evil" countries unless we actually talk to them? I guess we'll just keep invading every country that we think has weapons of mass destruction...
