Barack Obama and John McCain have practically the same idea about the Iranian threat to the world. They insist that Iran has sought nuclear weapons, supports militias inside Iraq and terror across the region. The significant difference between Obama and McCain is how they sanction Iran and how close they are to Israel.
“ We can never allow the second Holocaust to take place”. John McCain calmly mentioned at the end of the presidential debate on October 7th. He takes the position that the US should put enough , tough, significant sanctions on Iranians because the Iranian threat is not only to the state of Israel, but also to stability in the Middle East.He insists that the tight alliance between Israel and the U.S is “ most natural” and this alliance “ stands forever” . On his official web site, criticising the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for calling Israel a “ stinking corpse ” and saying it should be “ wiped off the map ”, McCain insists that the US and Israel must always stand together .
One of the measures that he mentioned is the financial sanctions against the Central Bank of Iran. This bank is considered to be a financial breeding ground for Iran’s terrorism and weapons proliferation. “We should privatize the sanctions against Iran by launching a worldwide divestment campaign”, McCain said in a meeting with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.
Barack Obama though insists on the idea of collective security by talking directly with Iran before imposing economic sanctions. “We should have direct talks, not just with friends, but with enemies”.
He criticises the Kyl-Lieberman amendment set up by the Bush-Cheney policy. This amendment says the use of a military presence in Iraq is inevitable to counter the threat of Iran.
Obama and Biden have introduced a constructive idea; the U.S will offer incentives like membership of the World Trade Organization, economic investments and a move towards normal diplomatic relations if Iran quits its nuclear policy and support for terrorism. Barack Obama talked about domestic policies connected with this Iranian issue. He said that the reduction of the use of gasoline by using alternative energy would also be effective in weakening Iranian power.
“Senator Obama, meanwhile, has offered to hold talks with Iranian leaders. Whether such a meeting will ever take place, the promise itself is another barrier the presidential nominee has removed” resumed Mohammad Davari and Dex A. Eastman of Press TV, an Iranian media in Tehran.
The United States is now in a mood of feeling 'fed-up' with the neo-conservatives. The long-term Iraq war made the economy unstable. How they face Iran could be the key to American Middle East political strategy.
