Do not underestimate Obama.  He in fact is a quiet storm. How often our enemies make the mistake of labeling kindness, or in this case, diplomacy, as weakness. He has alreadfy set a time limit on Iran.

yeah lol we were never a completely white country to begin with :p

its funny how america thinks iran or muslims are their enemies when their enemies are actually living among them and are diggin a hole underneath them while they r too busy bombing muslims....wake up america,, ur real enemy is israeli and u r too blind to see that.. someday u will see it the hard way or when its too late..

[mobspeak]

lol they just signed strict sanctions against Iran

[TxTechRox123]

yea, because Iran is so dangerous to the world....we should go to war with them because Bush termed them as part of an Axis of Evil....like Bush knows everything.

[Desarollo]

funny thing is that what really happened was the the "War Against Iran" went clandestine/special forces/covert. They'll never admit this but American and Israeli forces were behind the scenes lending support, finances and logistics to the moderate uprising to the last Iranian elections. Iran is in such a mess with internal politics that they could never project any might outwards. That's how you deal with a country like that, the Bush method was stupid and actually empowered the hardliners.

Possibly I hope you're right....but I wont hold my breath. ...cheers!

Ah..the reporter made a good assessment of the Iranian feeling as she pointed out at 1:32, "the Iranian people feel Obama will be softer on Iran".

Oh that's excatly what we need.

First off, Thank you John Mccain for your extreme devotion to what was the greatest country. Its sad that the american people didnt even consider your experiences you showed in the worst of conditions imaginable, and never broke once. Obamas is my president now, and will honor him as i did all presidents. We need to get out of Iraq, and take care of America. U.S. is turning ghetto in every state. We need to close our borders and get control of our nation. Rid the gangs that are killing America!!
