British Soldiers Show Diplomacy Can Work

President Ahmadinejad’s announcement proves the value of diplomacy. The United States should be using diplomacy with Iran instead of rattling the sabers and ramping up for another war.

I’m glad to see the Iranian President utilized the instrument of diplomacy to extend amnesty to the 15 British citizens.

Time and time again, Iran has offered to enter into dialogue with the United States, including an offer to resolve tension with the state of Israel. But this Administration has shut the door to dialogue and put the United States on a track toward a military conflict with Iran.

Instead of sending a second aircraft carrier toward the Persian Gulf, the United States should be focused on promoting diplomatic talks. The news of the Iranian release of British captives proves that we can talk to Iran to solve our differences, and we should.
