<li><p>Yes, Conservatives abhor the idea Iran isn’t a democracy, thus their desire to convert it into one in a similar manner as was done in Iraq. Sure, liberals aren’t thrilled about their views toward the US, but they wouldn’t discount it just based on its system of government, thus the reasoning behind why Barack Obama would much rather use diplomacy rather than chemical weapons and troops to solve relational problems between the two "superpowers’ (don’t underestimate how much power Iran holds in the political world)</p></li>
<li><p>Maybe it’s impossible to negotiate, maybe not. We’ll never know until we try, and honestly, what’s to lose? A pen in a conference room in Istanbul? Get real.</p></li>
