KIPLINGER: A NEW SPRING FOR U.S. DIPLOMACY
Jon Frandsen described in an article for the Kiplinger blog today the increased effort the Obama administration is putting into searching for common ground abroad. Obama is trying to deliver on a campaign promise to engaged with allies and antagonists alike and search for common ground by inviting Iran to talk, encouraging dialogue between Israel and Syria, and discussing nuclear arms controls with Russia.
Question to the Blogosphere: Do you think this administration has the power to keep these cooperative efforts afloat? What are the obstacles to a mutually benficial agreement in the cases of Iran-US, Israel-Syria, and Russia-US negotiations? Iran recently denied a meeting between a senior Iranian official and a senior US official. Why would they do that? Do you think the Obama administration’s behavior marks a stark constrast to the abundance or lack of cooperation that was seen from the United States since 2001?
