Bush And Ahmadinejad Mostly Agree

Although the presidents of the U.S. and Iran didn't physically face each other in a debate they debated nevertheless. But as debates go this confrontation had actually more areas of agreement than disagreement.

They both agreed on the need for peace in the Middle East. Both said the Palestinian/Israeli conflict was key to that peace. Both agreed that the region should be free of occupiers. But they still differ on Iran's right to nuclear power via Iran's own enrichment process.

Well. Doesn't that put the ball mostly in Bush's court? America should pull out of Iraq and pressure Israel to give up the occupied territories. And then maybe the nuclear issue between Iran and the U.S. will become less important.
