cissy diew,
You make a mistake when you assert that the personality of a president makes a difference. But you’re in good company; Obama believes the same thing. But his charisma will not change the deep antipathy that Iranian theocrats hold toward the U.S.
Nations are run by statesmen who make decisions based on national self-interest. The socialist European press has convinced the populace that President Bush is a monster. But that does not change the relationship between Europe and the U.S. Trade, common defense, and shared traditions bind the West regardless of who happens to be in power at the moment.
