A SINGLE ROLL OF THE DICE: Obama's Diplomacy




The  John Rowley  Show show

Summary: I don't normally discuss political issues but since we are heading into elextions I wanted to hear what Trita had to say.  I know I stick with physical, mental and spiritual health but issues like this can effect our health if we fret over it. Trita Parsi says that just 12 minutes into his presidency, in his inaugural address, Barack Obama extended a hand to Iran, expressing his willingness to talk and his desire for improved relations. It marked a dramatic change in tone from the Bush administration and reflected Obama's genuine desire to use diplomacy to defuse an enmity three decades in the making. Yet nearly three years into Obama's presidency, the relationship with Iran remains hostile, Iran's nuclear program has moved forward, and military intervention seems increasingly likely.
