re: #566 Unbound

The proof is simple and obvious… relations between the two countries have improved in the last six months, and now the president of Iran, a radical man that enjoyed tremendous support just a couple of years ago, has become marginalized within his own country. Iranians no longer see the USA as a direct threat to their sovereignty (as they felt during most of the Iraq war) and are willing to loosen up and be less radical as a country overall. In other words, by being less threatening, the USA has moved Iran in the direction that the USA hoped that Iran would move.

Actually, in a recent survey of Iranians, there is a 10 percent drop in approval for the USA…it was a whopping 38 percent under Bush, now down to 28 percent…so I don’t know where you get your info on this new found love.
