The heat is rising and it's time to take a fresh look at our frenemy, Iran. Is Iran the new Iraq in U.S. foreign policy? Are the people of Iran anti-U.S., or is only the current regime? Is there an effective difference?

An American journalist, an Iranian journalist and a professor of Iranian culture, politics and history will help demystify Iran and lead us to a new understanding of the future of our relationship with our neighbors in the Middle East - The Commonwealth Club of California

Ahmadinejad proposed a debate to Mr Obama, if he is so evil wy don't obama take on and expose him?

[VEVAK007]

On one side we have Israel that has not been able to go a decade without attacking another country

on the other side we have Iran that has not invaded another country in over 200years

as long as Israel has Nukes Iran should get nukes to neutralize the Israeli nukes

If Israel gives up its Nukes & allows a 3rd party to enrich its Uranium then Iran should do the same

I think neutralizing nukes by any means necessary is more important than preventing others from having them

[montezoma]

Fuck you all, stop the fucking hypocrisy. Ask the apartheid state of Israel to abandon it's nuclear weapons before speaking about fucking ethical issues regarding Iran and their nuclear program.

[novazee]

@StraussBR because Ahmadinejad is a loud mouth homophobic idiot. But seriously though, I would love to see Obama and Ahmadinejad debate.

We need nuclear bombs to bring Persianocracy to the states to free them from their democratic regime and be more chelo-kabab like us , thats the righteous way!!! I hope the americans will be free one day to vote for someone without down sindrome .My best wishes

Jesus Christ, have ya ever heard of the old Internet adage 'don't feed the troll'? Apparently not.

It is like arguing with a creationist, a holocaust denier, a Nazi, a communist, etc, etc. In other words, it is pointless. And since when do US Presidents hold formal debates with other heads of state/government? Especially hostile ones?
