This is one of the larger issues between the two U.S. Presidential candidates, McCain and Obama. Should the United States have direct talks with Iranian leader, Ahmadinejad?
McCain says, “Absolutely not. The guys a terrorist!” Obama says, “Absolutely yes. The guys a terrorist!”
The Bush administration was prepping to send a diplomat to Iran considering the accelerated rate at which Iran was developing nuclear capabilities.
But now Bush has changed his mind and it’s gonna have to wait until a new president is elected:
The proposal to send US diplomats to Teheran for the first time in three decades attracted great attention when it was floated seriously midyear, but has been placed on indefinite hold as November’s election nears and Iran continues to defy demands to halt suspect nuclear activities, officials told the AP.
The officials said it had been decided to leave the decision to the next US president because it could be seen as a reward for Iran’s nuclear intransigence especially when Iranian policy has become a major part of the heated campaign between Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain.
My personal opinion? The Bush administration is a bunch of spineless pussies.
