Obama's Message to Iran

Via Towleroad:

Don't you just miss the good old days when the US President couldn't even pronounce Nowruz? Much less other tongue-twisters like nuclear? 

Yeah, me either. 

Obama recorded a video message to the people of Iran yesterday on the occasion of Nowruz, a celebration of spring that marks the Iranian New Year.

This is why we voted for this guy. This is the way you communicate with other human beings. This is how you fight the notion that Americans are a bunch of fat capitalist war-mongers who only want to spread their empire across the globe. You don't fight terrorism with terror. You fight it with education, infrastructure development, and diplomacy. Reaching out with cultural understanding is a much better first step than threatening rhetoric.
