Americans have been wondering themselves about the contradictions in Bush's rhetoric about democracy and liberty as he uses the destructive force of our military to invade and occupy Iraq and Afghanistan, and, at the same time, threatens Iran with nuclear attacks.
Rice and the others in this administration and in the Pentagon, should listen to the words of the Iranian president, and amplify them. Certainly the sovereign nation of Iran - one of the few powers in the region who hasn't exploded a nuclear weapon, and threatens no other nation outside of the defense of their own borders - should be recognized when they counsel our warmongering nation about the evils of war, violent regime change, and mindless military destruction, justified by lies and false representations of threats.
The U.S. is the real danger in this confrontation. We need to listen to all of the criticisms against our own leaders' militarism, which we haven't been able to stop with our own appeals and actions here at home. Communication is the problem with Iran. It's a shame that the offices of our diplomacy have stopped listening.
