U.S. President-elect Barack Obama said on Sunday he was prepared to offer Iran economic incentives to stop its nuclear program, but he also warned that sanctions could be toughened if it refused. "We are willing to talk to them directly and give them a clear choice and ultimately let them make a determination in terms of whether they want to do this the hard way or the easy way," Obama told NBC's "Meet the Press" program. Dealing with Iran's uranium enrichment program, which some Western countries say is being used to develop a nuclear bomb, will be one of the first foreign policy tests for Obama after he takes office on January 20.

Carrots and Sticks are for ANIMALS, not Humans

by Ali I (not verified) on Sun Dec 07, 2008 04:16 PM PST

Carrots and sticks are used to train mules and other animals and he wants to use them against Iran and other third world nations. Someone needs to tell Obama we aren't sub-human / animals. He still doesn't get it. Iraniana people and other nations want to be treated as equals and with mutual respect. This is not a change of policy but a continuation of the same imperialist assumptions.
