An advisor to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called on US President-elect Barack Obama to "replace (George W.) Bush's war-mongering approach with a pacifist way and base US foreign policy on friendship, justice and human cooperation."
Ali Akbar Javanfekr, who is Ahmadinejad's press advisor, was quoted as telling the state-run Al-Alam satellite news channel on Wednesday that "the US government needs to drastically reduce its expenses because of a worsened economic situation, and the withdrawal of US forces from the Middle East would considerably help in this regard."
He continued to say that "(Obama's) slogan was change. We too believe that change is an inevitable requirement." As for the possibility of opening an American diplomatic "interests section" at the Swiss Embassy in Tehran, Javanfekr said Iran has yet to receive any no official request in this regard.
"There is no change in the relations between the US and Iran," he said, "for this to happen there needs to be a change in America's foreign policy."
During his campaign Obama had repeatedly said he would consider launching talks with the Iranian regime. Israel and certain elements within the US fear such a policy may hinder the efforts to isolate Tehran, which is continuing to develop its nuclear enrichment program in defiance of the UN Security Council and despite the sanctions imposed on it.

Change for America...huh...
Is 0bama going to listen to Achmedinewhackjob? You betcha!
But... doesn’t Obama want to unilaterally go into an ally of the US (Pakistan) to attack Al Qaeda - without Pakistan’s permission if need be?
Doesn’t this count as war-mongering?
If Bush can be labeled a “war-monger” then won’t opportunities come to label Obama as a war-mongerer?
Yes.
In other words: You just sit there and shut up while we run rampant in the world ala Germany and sit on your hands Neville Chamberlain. I mean Barack Obama.
See how easy this is gonna be - Obama sits down and starts talking with this nutjob within the next 6 - 12 months.
Obama may look for some Kosovo to falsely show that he is a strong leader.
Just watch...
Good idea, let’s sit back and let Iran control the world.
Yeah, Europe did a great job stopping Milosevic, just imagine, he’d still be there without the US Air Force.
This is going to be so bizarre, can’t wait till the next crisis in Europe.
I can see Europe coming cap in hand, wonder what Obama will do.
Oh I know, discussions without preconditions with the baddies. I forgot.
I do so hope Israel takes this clucker out.
They may enlighten the little lemur with “the light of a thousand suns”..
Who?
Sorry...had to ask...
This way there won’t be any more of those messy skyscraper flattenings.
Shut it al
If Israel nukes them; then it won't be a problem. The election of 0bama Hussein should remove the shackles they've had to endure all these years.
Israel: do whatever you have to do. The Government of the new and improved USSA will no longer watch your back.
Who?
George Bush still has two months of responsibility. If he unleashed hell on Iran while sparing the world a ton of future grief I wouldn’t be crying. Not that he’d do that. That would be...responsible like.
See? They are going to hold Obama to his word!
What a mess!
