On the subject of Iran and its nuclear program, all arguments will probably become irrelevant soon, as President Obama continues his diplomatic efforts there. The Iranians offered to negotiate unconditionally with the US government when Bush was president. This was shortly after Iran was indispensable in helping the US with its war against the Taliban. In return for its efforts, and in response to their offer to negotiate, the Bush administration labeled Iran a part of the "Axis of Evil". Unlike Bush, Obama doesn't have an agenda to overturn the government of Iran for hegemonic reasons, so he will succeed in working out an acceptable agreement with the government of Iran.
