Today Im thankful that a deal on Irans nuclear program could be announced soon! I strongly support the Presidents plan of diplomacy with Iran. Hopefully we dont see the USA embroiled in another war in the Middle East. Its also my wish that a peaceful diplomatic solution is as popular today as the wars of Iraq and Afghanistan were yesterday. Obviously getting to this point hasnt been an easy road. The President has faced pressure from conservative lobby groups and members of his own party to take a harder line on Iran. And its likely still there from those that would benefit from action in Iran. The diplomatic deal that could be announced soon began with a phone call between President Obama and President Rouhani of Iran. Many conservatives in Iran argue that talking to the United States is futile. President Rouhani has bet much of his political capital on these talks. The Iranian people elected Rouhani with a mandate to improve relations with the United States. Im thankful that both leaders have this God given courage and Im inspired by their actions to risk in doing the right thing over the popular thing.
