It seems to me that the Iranian initiative of the Obama Administration, sending a broadcast greeting of respect and best wishes for their New Year is exactly what the doctor ordered. It costs us nothing, shows that as a nation we accept them as fellow members of the community of nations, and, in this case, causes internal disagreements within Iran, as many younger people respond positively to Obama, and not so positively to their own leader's negativity and less-than-hospitable response.
This is why we elected Obama President. I can't even imagine such a thing happening under a McCain Administration.
