Isreal will push the White House to bomb Iran just as Bush leaves office. If the US does it wont matter if Obama or McCain is President. Without a US Leader that all the World Leaders know and respect we're hosed. Yes Obama can talk and get to know the World Leaders and hopefully gain their trust in time. McCain has already made the rounds and they know he's a dumb as a door knob and will follow the Bush Policy. I guess Obama could ask former Presidents Jimmy Carter/Bill Clinton to do talks in support of a new Presidential Policy. It's always good to have friends that know powerful people it can make all the difference in the World. It's also interesting how America treats Carter/Clinton like dirt but when we hit rock bottom we expect them to help us out. I guess our new name could be US users.
