Unfortunately, the change the Iranian leader wants is a change in U.S. policy.
Last week, Obama did as he said he would do and extended an olive branch to Iran with no pre-conditions. But Iran’s leaders made it clear they have no interest in talking to Obama unless we change our policies.
Just as conservatives have warned for years, Obama’s offer was misinterpreted by the extremist Islamic government. They said Obama’s willingness to reach out to Ahmadinejad “means Western ideology has become passive, that capitalist thought and the system of domination have failed.”
How is this possible? We’re we told that all our enemies would magically become our friends the moment Obama was elected?
We just feel so used.
