What about Iran?

No one wants to see Iran with nuclear weapons:

A nuclear Iran is unacceptable for so many reasons, including the possibility that it creates a gateway and the need for other countries in the region to develop nuclear capability - John Edwards

Edwards wants to open relations with Iran and is "more explicit in suggesting the Kerry administration would actively try to reach an agreement with the Iranians." The Europeans have been negotiating with Teheran for 6 months, and have not made progress. Bush has been pretty quiet on the Iran question, letting the negotiation process continue, since he's not prepared to commit the US to anything more during the election. Kerry has proposed deals on nuclear fuel, or else "heavy sanctions".

Let's hope that someone pursues the harder questions on Iran during the rest of the election.
