A little thing called Diplomacy

The GOPPers have struck again. For over a week now the Republican Party has accused President Obama of being weak and spineless on the issue of Iran's election results. According to them, Obama's failure to comprehensively denounce the supposed results of the recent Iranian presidential election proves that he cannot handle foreign affairs and should completely and utterly denounce the current government of Iran in order to prove himself.This foolish sentiment shared by many Republicans is just that, foolish.In a world where just one political misstep can cost allies, Obama's statements so far are more than enough to address the Iranian election. As many have said, if the President were to speak too strongly against Iran and Ahmedinejad were to remain in power then such statements would only succeed in further alienating the United States (if that is at all possible). It would be in the United States' best interest to try to maintain a kind of neutral ground in all of this. Condemning the attacks against demonstrators is the best stand the President can take while the game of political chess is played.I will now take this chance to say, if what the Republicans are trying to force the President to do is their idea of diplomacy, I am very glad that the Republicans lost the last election.Their version of politics is dangerous for Americans everywhere.
