In an attempt to prove to the American people, and the world, that diplomacy is the way to go, President Obama released a video to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, President of Iran, seeking to create a better relationships between the 2 countrys thru diplomany and to stop the use of threats as a means to acquire a specific goal.
But it would seem that his attempt at a warm, diplomatic solution to the dangerous tug of war with Iran proved useless as the Iranian leader ignored President Obama's "kind and friendly" message and continued his defiant stance that no one will stop him from acquiring the nuclear progress he believes his country has the right to. The fear that a country, who has been linked to helping terrorist groups and countries, could create a nuclear weapon from technology they claim is only for providing energy to their people has the US and many other countries worried and have been attemping to stop them from furthuring their process but Iran has refused to abide by any of the sanction so far.
Many of us believe that a much firmer hand is necessary to prevent Iran from possibly acquiring the enriched uranium necessary for creating a nuclear weapon, but former President Bush chose to go the diplomatic way by working together with other countries to pass sanctions against Iran and demanding them to stop but never intending to use any kind of force to actually stop Iran. All the while Iran continued to be defiant knowing no force would be used against them, especially when Russia continued to defend Iran and refused any kind of force to be used against Iran.
It's my opinion that President Obama's plan of diplomacy has been proven to yield no results what so ever, a point clearly shown by former President Bush's attempts at a more firmer form of diplomacy that have also failed to accomplish any results and something many people said would never work with a country like Iran.
So what will we do next? Should we (Obama) continue to play "movie director" and send more videos to the President of Iran in the hopes that one of them may make him rethink his ways and consider stopping his program? Maybe the Iranian President was upset that he was not given a copy of 25 American Classic Movies ($39 value) like the on Prime Minister Brown got as a gift from President Obama (I hope he gave him a DVD player to play them on as well since American movies don't play on outside DVD players). Perhaps we can send him a home made apply pie (made by Emeril Lagasse), a 6 pack of Mike's Hard Lemonaide and a copy of the most recent issue of MadTV's Magazine as a sign of good faith.
So, does anyone here wanna keep thinking that Obama Almighty still has divine powers to fix the world's ills?
