GOP presidential hopeful Ron Paul says "offering friendship" to Iran, not sanctions, would be a more fruitful to achieving peace with Tehran. The Texas congressman says fears about Iran's nuclear program have been "blown out of proportion." He says tough penalties are a mistake because, as he says was the case in Iraq, they only hurt the local population and still paved a path to war. When asked on "Fox News Sunday" what he would do to deter Iran's alleged nuclear ambitions, Paul said "maybe offering friendship to them." Paul's remarks put him at odds with both the Bush and Obama administrations; U.S. policy has relied heavily on sanctions and diplomacy to try to convince Tehran to abandon its atomic program.

Maybe Paul wants to offer Iran some earmarks.
Paul gives nincompoops hope for respectability.
History has shown us to NOT trust mooselimbs, Even if they are not Arabs.
Crazy
And people say Cain is not a foreign policy wiz. Compared to Paul, he’s a foreign policy genius.
Let us know how that works out for you.
The Iranians have not attacked another country for hundreds. It was the secular Saddam, not the Mullahs, who started the last war.

So they are smart enough to use proxies but dumb enough to directly attack a county, Israel, than rain down hundreds of nukes down on them with a moment’s notice. Yeah....right.
I am curious how Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani feels about friendship with the Iranian leaders? What makes Ron Paul think we'd be any different?
Comparing to backward Iranian regime to a military superpower like Nazi Germany is about as silly as it gets. These Nervous Nellie conservatives, who are never happy unless they have a powerful foreign enemy, will probably be warning us about the “Mongol threat” one of these days.
yeah, you’re right. No worries. They’re too smart to use nukes. Don’t know why the rest of the world can’t see it as clearly as you.
Actually, despite the hype, there isn’t even good evidence they are devoloping nukes.
