Who Else Thinks We Should Talk to Iran?

Posted on September 16, 2008 by Scott Launius

How about…these folks?


(L-R: Colin Powell, Madeline Albright, Warren Christopher, James Baker, and Henry Kissinger)

That’s right.  These five former Secretaries of State, three of whom served under Republicans, all agree with Obama’s stance on Iran – namely, that talks with Iran are necessary aspect of dealing with their nuclear ambitions.

John McCain has said that he would not talk to Iran, and that Obama’s willingness to shows his inexperience.  Sorry John, but I’d say these five know a little more about the ins and outs of diplomacy than you do.  (I’ll bet none of them ever sang about bombing Iran, either.)

Welcome to the 21st century.
