Heroic Diplomacy: How Barack Obama Finally Earned That Peace Prize
By Robert Scheer, TruthDig
28 November 13


Finally, Barack Obama may prove deserving of his Nobel Peace Prize by joining with England, France, China, Russia and Germany in negotiating an eminently sensible rapprochement with Iran on its nuclear program. Following on his pullback from war with Syria and instead, successfully negotiating the destruction of that country's supply of chemical weapons, this is another bold step to fulfill the peacemaking promise that got him elected president in the first place.

As Obama reminded his audience at an event Monday in San Francisco, he was fulfilling the pledge from his first campaign to usher in a "new era of American leadership, one that turned the page on a decade of war." As a candidate in 2007, he committed to engage in "aggressive personal diplomacy" with Iran's leaders, and he has now done just that.

This is potentially an international game changer comparable to Richard Nixon's opening to Mao's Red China and Ronald Reagan's overtures to Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, two examples of heroic diplomacy that combined to destroy the underpinnings of the Cold War. Those who continually call for regime change in Iran as a condition for improved relations with that country, as Obama's critics are now doing, ignore that history.

1. As for me, I choose peace.

NOT just at Christmas time, but all year through.

2. I am very happy about these two situations.

Hopefully we can continue to wind down the war machine.

3. Funny how none of the "Hawks" and conserves will admit...

that the whole concept of "regime change" is bound to foster resistance from other countries.

I mean, . Dictating to a foreign country what their government should or shouldn't look like is guaranteed to generate resistance--probably from the people, certainly from the government in power, and quite likely both. Certainly telling a dictator that the first condition of even negotiating is for him to step down doesn't bode well for the talks.

I suppose they really know that, and that's part of their plan to engage in endless war.
