This is what happens when one party wants to be liked (the U.S.) and one party wants to win (Iran).

Yep. But the foolishness of it is that they won't like us anyway - no matter what.

Why even make a useless attempt - it's like wishing and trying to make water run uphill. It shows an alarming lack of basic knowledge of how the world works and human behavior and thought.

Exactly.

We're not going to be liked. But we can be respected. Respect them and demand that they respect us. And don't be afraid to inject fear into the lives of those who don't.

Shows how serious people are taking the United States.

Travel restrictions on Americans in Africa for vaccination issues and the Iranians offering to mediate for us, how could it get any better? The world is loving how incompetent the Obama administration is.

This is a perfect example of how Obama got votes. Someone without enough perception to understand a very simple concept.

Hope and change = I understand and carry water.

They won't launch from Iran - they'll hand a dirty one over to one of their various terrorist surrogates and give them the honors to detonate it in a crowded city while they sit a thousand miles away and play dumb.

God your spelling is terrible.
