With the leaders of Iran, North Korea, Venezuela and Cuba increasingly vocal about their opposition to the U.S., talk of a potential dialogue with such leaders is becoming a central political issue with international implications.

Background

  • With the declared realization of Iranian nuclear ambition, Kim Jong-Il's adamant isolation from the international arena, and continued Cuban/Venezuelan anti-U.S. sentiments, some argue a dialogue is not only preferable, but essential to a future international peace.
  • In a July 2007 YouTube/CNN debate, Presidential contender Barack Obama promised to meet with anti-U.S. leaders within the first year of his administration. Later, rival Hillary Clinton called Obama's statement irresponsible and naive with an Obama refutation of Clinton carrying on the failed international policies of the current Bush administration. As is clear, a leader's approach, be it a potential dialogue or millitary action, with the so-called 'Axis of Evil' is shaping up to be a push-button issue of the 2008 Election.
