Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is calling for "profound changes" in U.S. foreign policy, including giving up support for Israel.

The president's comments came Wednesday during an address to thousands of people in the western city of Kermanshah.

The U.S. broke off diplomatic relations with Iran in 1979 after hard-line students stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran.

The U.S. has criticized Iran over its nuclear program, saying it is designed to develop nuclear weapons. Iran has denied this.

President Barack Obama on Tuesday in an interview with Arabic telelvision called for more dialogue with Iran to express difference and see "where there are potential avenues for progress."

I agree with that 100%. And the time to stop their nuke developement would be now. Does anyone remember the hostage crisis? It ended as soon as Reagan took office. I think they knew what kind of leader he was an what was about to happen to them. They probaly love that the new administration has let their voice be heard. It gives them the illusion of power and validates them.

I'll lead off with a number of questions first; Iran wants? Amadinejad wants? Obama wants? Palosi and Reid wants? Is this tea time between Obama and a terror sponsoring government? Time to cuddle up to a government who supplies insurgents with tools to kill US troops and undermine the Iraqis and US, not to mention the entire mid east? Time to weaken US and allied security with a terrorist who denies the Holocaust? Time to sit and chat with a government who taunts the US Navy? CHANGE we can count on? CHANGE we can believe in? Yes HE can, Yes HE can, and Yes HE will...should the American people and our allies simply accept it and keep quiet. Obviously those Americans have placed trust in to protect us have not cared all that much about the will of the majority of voters and tax payers. Contact your Congressional representatives and President Obama, say NO to tea parties with Amadinejad, murderer, terrorist and enemy of Israel, the US and Democracy.
