War is when the United States decides that you are a threat to its plans, or you have something they want.

Terrorism is the act or potential of defending your human right to indepently exist.

Boycott US corporations and its government. The last thing you want to have happen it for your economy or lifetstyle dependent on criminals. If you didn't have something they wanted they wouldn't bother with you at all, including your future and your soul.

Obama is a patsy.

If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and their corporations which grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.

--President Thomas Jefferson ---1787

it's not the country....it is its monetary system....banking scam been around centuries. NO FIAT MONEY SYSTEM....NO FEDERAL RESERVE

Obama stated during his campaign he supported the Afghan war because THERE is where al Qaeda is located. Plus this year the Taliban got within 20 miles of Pakistan's atomic bombs!!!!

Taliban & al Qaeda often work together.

With oil's prices tanking, Iran's situation is quickly eroding. I think the US will have leverage to move them on Iraq. I have confidentence in Obama's skill in politics to get something like this done. He has demonstrated over and over his ability to make allies out of enemies. That will be key to the Iran-US dialog.

Obama also made some threats towards Iran (sanctions/threats of nukes) while visiting Israel - the transcripts are online, read them for yourselves. Obama is no diplomat - he's bought and sold like the majority of US politicians. Claimed no lobby money, another lie. Campaigned to get elected as a 'peace candidate' yet has plans to further the war and expand occupations under the guise of 'humanitarian efforts' which mean more military bases on the few places left the u.s. doesn't have them.

100% agreed. It's insane to NOT have an open dialogue with Iran and just expect them to meet a ton of preconditions with no discussion beforehand. Bush & co. set an impossible standard because they didn't want peace with Iran.

lol as if keep dreaming

My point is that Obama was given a question that was loaded with someone's agenda trying to prove some point about him being weaker on foreign policy but I can understand what you are saying.

[thisisgraffiti]

I didn't say he would give "Iran a open invite", I said that Obama said he would meet Iran without preconditions, and he has said that. If you were reading, you'd also notice that I think it's a good idea. You seem to be the one who thinks it's bad policy, seeing as you feel the need to defend Obama from his words. What's bad is that he seems to have backed off from this position a little.

please don't use LOADED questions dude, Obama never said " I will meet Iran without preconditions" do you really think he is giving Iran a open invite? come on learn from Sarah Palin use your brain.
