Today the Obama administration accepted Ahmadinejad as the duly elected leader of Iran. It's an admition that was made grudgingly I am sure. They are caught between their own rhetoric of diplomacy and the reality of the chaotic election results and protests that followed. I am sure the decision to acknowledge the reality on the ground will be met with disdain by all.
As America looks to the future there is a real need to solve the Iran issue. The solidarity shown by many Americans to the revolt displayed after the election results were announced has dismantled the boogeyman persona painted of common Iranians. I would love a future where America resumes real diplomatic ties with Iran. An Iranian solution will prevent our kids from fighting old battles that have come to define our relationship with each other. It's a moral imperative, the future requires it if we want to have our kids.
