Know Your Candidates: Barack Obama

Responding to Hillary Clinton's threat to "totally obliterate" Iran, Barack Obama observed, "It's not the language we need right now." This seems in keeping with his plan to negotiate with Iran over disputes between the two countries. In today's supercharged environment, the tone of rhetoric has a powerful effect -- not just on Iran, but on Americans. I believe that peaceful language promotes peaceful conduct, and applaud Mr. Obama for the position he has taken.
