Iranian parliament Speaker Ali Larijani said Wednesday that Iran would prefer Democrat Barack Obama in the White House next year. Larijani also dismissed any idea that the US would attack Iran
"We are leaning more in favor of Barack Obama because he is more flexible and rational, even though we know American policy will not change that much," Larijani said at a press conference during a visit to Bahrain.
How to deal with Iran and the crisis over its nuclear drive has been one of the foreign policy issues in the Nov. 4 race for the White House between Obama and Republican John McCain.
Larijani, a leading figure in the conservative camp in Iran, also said the United States was too busy dealing with the global financial crisis to consider waging an attack on Iran.
"The risk was low before," he said. "But now I am 100% certain that the United States will not unleash a war against Iran. The economic crisis has cost the United States $1.4 trillion and Washington is working to resolve its internal problems and not a war."
Washington severed ties with Iran in 1980 in the wake of the Islamic revolution. US President George W. Bush famously denounced the country as part of an "axis of evil".
Tensions have mounted over Iran's nuclear program, which many Western countries believe is a cover for ambitions to build atomic weapons, although this is vehemently denied by Tehran.

If Iran wants Obama, thats good enough for me. Obama 08' >_<

    • Of course Iran wants a Muslim at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

      What started the Stock Market Melt Down?

      The Arab's high oil prices, pushed the already bad credit market into crisis, which started the Stock Market Melt Down.

      Who benefited in the polls from the Stock Market Melt Down?

    • At which point did Iran become an enemy of the US?
      Was it before or after the military buildup of US vessels in the area?
      Iran is not the enemy,

      The real enemies of the US are the corporations who usurp the government and profit from war.

    • Well powerhungry, if that happens at least we can all stop worrying about the apocalypse right? If there are no Jews to rebuild the Temple of Solomon then there will be no throne for the anti-Christ to sit upon and therefore the Biblical prophecies will be proved false gloom and doom...

      Of course if you believe in the Bible, you'll understand that the Jews cannot be destroyed... so why do we need to protect them? We've already armed the Israelis to the teeth, they even have multiple nukes. So again, why is it OUR responsibility to protect them. Especially when protecting them means getting ourselves involved in another war we can't afford?? HONESTLY!!!

      BTW... just because Obama would work towards peaceful resolutions with Iran does not mean he or any other leaders in the world would allow Iran do to such a thing. McCain on the other hand is much more likely to jump the gun and launch a military attack, which just might be what Iran is waiting for to justify an attack on Israel.. We'd be much better off if we quit playing babysitter for Israel. I'm pretty confident they can take care of themselves.

    • Maybe the leaders in Iran realize that McCain is a warmongering religious zealot who has already all but promised to "Bomb bomb Iran". While on the other hand Obama is definitely a more rational person who will be more likely to work for world peace.

      Stop acting like a candidate who is preferred by foreign nations who we are at odds with is a terrorist who means to undermine our nation, it's just not true and goes against logic.

    • Enemies say lots of things, and we can not any statement from them at face value.

      The same thing goes for statements from our own radical elements on the Right and on the Left.

      Even statements like "just because he's black" are smoke screen to cloud our judgement.

      Here is a simple question, that you must look into your own heart to answer:

      "Given the dismal performance of our leaders of the last 8 years, who will improve life for you and the rest of America?" Once you have that answer, tell it to the voting booth.
