Obama Invites Iran

In new overtures to Iran President Obama has authorized U.S embassies around the world to invite Iranian officials to 4th of July parties they host on July 4. A State Department cable sent to all embassies and consulates late last week said that U.S. diplomats could ask the Iranian counterparts to attend festivities which, feature speeches about American values, fireworks, hot dogs and hamburgers. The notice was sent out on Friday "said that the posts" may invite representatives from the government of Iran" to events A State Department official said Tuesday "quoting from the document". The official spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a internal communication. It was not clear how many embassies and consulates would actually the invite Iranian diplomats to 4th of July parties or whether any Iranians would accept the invitations. The cable was first reported by the New York Times. This move comes amid the administration ongoing efforts to engage Iran on a variety of venues, including formal diplomat meetings on there nuclear program, violence in Iraq and the situation in Afghanistan. But Iran has given mixed response to overtures by Obama administration which began early in President Obama recorded a videotape greeted the Iranian people and it leaders for the New Year. Iran maintains it is only interested in a civilian atomic energy program and has refused to accept any package of incentives by the U.S. and it's partners to get it to stop enriching uranium, a process that could produce nuclear fuel. Finally, President Obama is using a kinder and gentler tone towards Iran and other Axis Of evil countries. This tone will be used in his speech to the Arab world this week let's see how these vicious thugs in the Arab respond to a "Empathic United States President".
