US and Iran Agree to Tread Gently on a Path to Peace
Is this the OBAMA Doctrine?
From Geneva, a message … we have peace! More aptly the US and Iran, with world wide support from the Europeans, Russians and China have agreed to test the possibilities of peace by a six month agreement by Iran to stop making materials for a second holocaust while the world relaxes some sanctions.
This was not achieved n the public pages of our omnipresent media. Quiet, face-to-face talks between the US and Iran paved the way for the historic deal signed Sunday in Geneva. ” The talks were held in the Middle Eastern nation of Oman and elsewhere with only a tight circle of people in the know, the AP learned. Since March, Deputy Secretary of State William Burns and Jake Sullivan, Vice President Joe Biden’s top foreign policy adviser, have met at least five times with Iranian officials.”
It may be the awe are seeing the Obama doctrine in action. When Mr. Obama came to office, the inaugural ceremony was accompanied by a trip to Oslo to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. Skeptics saw this as token anti racism .. a tribute not to Mr. Obama but to the American Civil Rights movement. Since then, critics have been befuddled and angry about a US president who seems to believe that moral persuasion or even diplomatic force are more effective than shok and awe. Even Robert Reich has expressed his doubts at the President efforts to influence Syria without US intervention.
