It doesn't seem to dawn on him that it is they who need to enact change from within.

Your comment begs the question...why is your comment true of Iran but not Iraq?
Just a question.
Can you begin to imagine the heat that would come down on our president if he were to attempt to initiate change in Iran from without?
Just look at the extreme flack the man is getting from appeasers both at home and abroad for going into Iraq even though he had 17 UN resolutions, including 1441, and the US congress vote all on his side.
If the Iranians can wait another 12 years then by all means lets get the diplomatic ball rolling.
Anyone who believes Iraq was not a threat to us and needed to be dealt with is ignorant.
