Obama has been overtly auspicious leaning towards "negotiations without preconditions" in leui of prior Presidential administrations' foreign relations policy with Iran. The Iranian government has been a well documented sponsor of terrorism past and present. Also, Iran has been implicated as an Al-Quada supporter against our troops. Still, anti-war advocates have graciously voted Obama into office and now expect him to follow through with several measures. These measures include:
1) Withdrawal of troops from all areas involved unless humanitaran concern is actively being addressed-this is primarily pertaining to the Bush administration follies. Showing its failure to produce on all levels predicates an investigation into any shenanigans which could implicate Bush with charges of some sort I I will leave it to your imagination)
2) Iranian sanctions being lifted immediately based on humanitarian concern regardless if this must include supplies related to nuclear infrastructure-since sanctions were never adhered to by our "allies" because they have always engaged in trade on some level, arguments for lifting sanctions will have many proponets and they will be making noise!
3) Obama will negotiate with Iran to either pursuit nuclear power for "peaceful purposes" or will "bait" Ahmedinajhad with extinguishing his nuclear ambition provided Israel undergo UN inspections at the Dimona nuclear power plant. The measure cannot be refused by the Israeli government because if they decline, the UN could impose the same policy placed on Iraq for similar arguments. The US must show evenhandedness to dispell favoratism. Also, refusing to comply with the UN policy would be an admttion of guilt by Israel for developing WMDs. In addition, this would allow the concoction of a Middle East Peace Plan getting everyone invloved on board. Pressure could be used to reset the Israeli borders to the 1949 line. This would leave little elbow room for all parties involved to deny. Once passed, Israel would be the only party left to take measures "on the ground" to recede from their position (again) for guarantees only ensured by worthless paper and the "glass jaw" of UN patrol. Any deviation from the immediate implimentation would leave Israel open to criticism (from the Left media). After everything has been orchestrated according to the treaty, the Arabs would find some incident that would be cause for uprising. This would be the catalyst for an all out assault that would leave Israel in a defenseless position. And the world has little initiative to muster an appropriate reaction. Obama wins no matter the result because he used diplomacy.
Yes, I am a cynic.
