Barak Obama`s intention of speaking with our adversaries is refreshing, sensible and may actually lead to solutions.

Eight years of Bush`s hostile rhetoric and war has lead to a radicalized arab/muslim middle east, the ascendancy of hezbolla in Lebanon, Hamas in the Gaza, and Shiites in Iraq.

Bush`s foolish policies have clearly lead to a stronger Iran. An Iran so strong that it can no longer be attacked without a blood bath in both Iran and Israel not to mention the collapse of the world economy because of the resultant blockade of middle east oil.

In short the Bush administration has resulted in a radicalized ascendant shiite muslim middle east with an invincible Iran at work on creating nuclear weapons. Thanks George...you idiot!
