Should George Bush visit Tehran?

Question

In the 1950s and 60s, Richard Nixon was one of the staunchest opponents of Communism and fought the Soviets and Red Chinese at every opportunity.

In 1972, however, Nixon flew to Peking and reopened China to the West. Two months later Nixon was in Moscow signing the Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty with Brezhnev.

Despite the stupidity that ended his career, there can be little doubt that Nixon's two acts of statemanship have changed the world.

Should Bush follow Nixon's example and confront the Iranians, the Syrians, and even the North Koreans on their own doorsteps? He has little to lose and everything to gain.

(Islamo-bashers, please cool your jets and let the intelligent people answer first.)

Answer 1

Bush should definitely visit Iran & Syria Diplomacy works if he works it He should take Condi with him though And yes Nixon was a great President

Answer 2

Nixon did not "confront" the Chinese and he was welcomed as a visitor. Bush would not get such courtesy from the Iranians.

While I salute your good intentions and support diplomacy over military action, I would say "no" to your answer.

Answer 3

If President Bush decided to meet with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad it should be done somewhere neutral and not in Iran.
