Iran: Obama’s Offer to Talk A Sign that US Has Failed

by Stephan Tawney on January 31, 2009

You mean that the Islamic Republic is using the Obama Administration’s offer to talk as propaganda to show that the United States has failed and is now crawling to Iran? Who could’ve seen this coming?

US President Barack Obama’s offer to talk to Iran shows that America’s policy of “domination” has failed, the government spokesman said on Saturday.

“This request means Western ideology has become passive, that capitalist thought and the system of domination have failed,” Gholam Hossein Elham was quoted as saying by the Mehr news agency.

“Negotiation is secondary, the main issue is that there is no way but for (the United States) to change,” he added.

So if just offering to talk results in propaganda insisting that our nation has failed, what effect will “presidential-level” discussions have? This is what Clinton warned about, by the way.
