Democrat Clinton want talks with Iran
The linked, Reuters article cites:
Democratic presidential contenders Bill Richardson and Hillary Clinton said on Wednesday the United States should keep talking to Iran as part of an international diplomatic effort to persuade Tehran to abandon its nuclear weapons program.
...
In a separate speech, Clinton said the Bush administration, which has had minimal direct dealings with Iran, seems reluctant to continue engaging Tehran. She faulted the administration for giving Iran "six years of the silent treatment."
"I think we should keep talking," the New York senator said at the Center for a New American Security, a new think tank.
That's understandable, given the behavior of EVERY administration since the beginning of the Iran Hostage Crisis on November 4, 1979. Iran has been one of our best allies since then!
WAIT A SECOND!
I forgot a second that this is the reality where the Earth revolves around the sun. (see the following post)
In THIS reality, NO administration since the beginning of the Iran Hostage Crisis has had direct contact with the government of Iran.
President Carter (Democrat) broke off all direct diplomatic relations with Iran at the start of the crisis.
President-elect Reagan, supposedly, had indirect contact with their government. Basically, according to the rumor mill, he told them that he would nuke every square inch of their country until it glowed in the dark, unless they released the hostages.
They released them, shortly before his inauguration.
His administration, supposedly, had indirect contact with the Iranians during the Iran-Contra fiasco.
President Bush, the first one, had no contact with them.
President Clinton had no contact with them. (We'll come back to that.)
President Bush, for the first time in almost 28 YEARS!, had direct diplomatic contact with the government of Iran about Iraq and Afghanistan, earlier this year.

Now, think back, if you will, to President Bill Clinton's two campaigns, and how his wife and marriage were touted. The campaign said they were "equal partners". They said this enough, and after the actions of the Clinton administration on health care, pundits on the right started referring to Senator Clinton as "co-President".
Now, if Hillary was Bill's "equal partner" or "co-President", why is she giving the current Bush administration for "six years of the silent treatment."?
Is she, somehow, implying that the EIGHT years of the silent treatment that her husband's administration gave the same country was better? Or would be better in this instance?
