Restoring US-Iranian Relations
Hasan Abu Nimah, former ambassador of Jordan | November 12, 2008
President Bush will take a first step toward restoring diplomatic relations with Iran by establishing a diplomatic office. ++ The US understands that going to war with Iran would be fatal. ++ Unlike the US, “Iran never tried to overthrow a US government. Iran never invaded America's neighbors. Iran never stationed aircraft carriers off the US coast.” ++ Dialogue will change the political landscape, giving Iranians the chance to prove their legitimate ambitions while offering an “alternative to military adventurism and diplomatic lawlessness.”
