a wild idea

[samuraiguppy]

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has offered to "debate" Obama and McCain.

Would it help us if Obama spoke with President Ahmadinejad--showing

1--we are not afraid of the big bad Iran boogie man

2 Obama really will be able to use diplomacy unlike bomb-bomb

3-a message to the world that we are entering a new era

1. Betcha anything Ahmadinejad would like Obama and good

things could happen. Boy, how to really pi$$ of the repugs. That would be soooo good.

3. it would make freeper heads explode!

2. Obama just issued a statement condemning Ahmadinejad's UN remarks.

Meeting with him now would be strange.

4. It's a bad idea. Foreign leaders, particularly smarmy foreigner leaders, don't vet our candidates

It's tailor made for false posing instead of real diplomacy. Plus Obama would be against it.

Plus just about anything Ahmadinejad suggests is de facto a bad idea.

5. I am not a fan of

Ahmadinejad, but imagine how it would look--you guys don't have the guts to sit down and talk with this world leader--but I have the grapes to go man to man with him. It is (admittedly) a wild idea--but it could pay off...
