WITH GAS APPROACHING $5 A GALLON IT'S TIME TO ASK THE QUESTION: WHY CAN'T WE BE FRIENDS WITH IRAN?

IT'S TIME TO REVISIT AMERICA'S POLICY TOWARDS IRAN AND THE WAY WE DEAL WITH THEIR PRESIDENT, MAHMMOUD AHMADINEJAD. I KNOW THAT HE'S SAID THAT ISRAEL SHOULD BE WIPED OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH BUT HEY, WHO HASN'T? I KNOW THAT THEY KIDNAPPED OVER 100 OF OUR CITIZENS AND HELD THEM HOSTAGE DURING THE IRANIAN REVOLUTION BUT HEY, DURING A REVOLUTION SHIT HAPPENS. AND I KNOW THAT THEY INSIST ON ENRICHING URANIUM FOR A POSSIBLE NUCLEAR WEAPON AND THAT THEIR MULLAHS INSIST ON RUNNING A VERY REPRESSIVE REGIME IN ACCORDANCE WITH ISLAMIC LAW BUT HEY, I DON'T LIVE THERE.

ALL I'M SAYING IS THIS: WITH GAS PRICES FAST APPROACHING FIVE BUCKS A GALLON ISN'T IT TIME THAT WE MAKE FRIENDS WITH ANOTHER OIL RICH COUNTRY BESIDES SAUDI ARABIA? ALOT OF GOOD THEIR FRIENDSHIP HAS DONE FOR US HERE AT HOME. WITH FRIENDS LIKE THE SAUDIS WHO NEEDS AL QAEDA? IRAN HAS A WHOLE SUPPLY OF OIL THAT WE ARE NOT USING. LIKE JOHN MCCAIN I NEVER WAS NEVER MUCH OF AN ECONOMICS GUY BUT WHEN THE SUPPLY OF SOMETHING GOES UP, ISN'T THE DEMAND AND THEREFORE THE PRICE FORCED TO GO DOWN?

SO LET'S START AT LEAST TALKING TO THESE PEOPLE, IT'S NOT LIKE THEY'RE ARABS ANYWAY, THEY'RE PERSIANS. PERSIANS ARE NOT LIKE ARABS ALL EMOTIONAL AND SHIT. EVERYONE KNOWS A PERSIAN CAN BE TALKED TO. THINK ABOUT THE DIPLOMATIC ARGUMENT THAT THE UNITED STATES WILL BE MAKING ONCE OUR GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS ACTUALLY SIT DOWN AND NEGOTIATED WITH THE IRANIAN GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS: IT'S NOT MUSLIMS THAT WE WANT TO KILL, DESTROY AND PUNISH FOR 9/11- JUST THE ARABS!

LOOK, I KNOW THAT ISRAEL IS AN ALLY OF THE UNITED STATES AND THAT THEY ARE THE ONLY DEMOCRACY IN THE MIDDLE EAST BUT I'M JUST SAYING: I WANT AN ESCALADE. AT THE END OF THE DAY IF YOU WERE GIVING ME THE CHOICE OF HAVING AN ESCALADE AND PAYING 2 BUCKS A GALLON TO DRIVE IT OR A SAFE AND SECURE ISRAEL...IT REALLY ISN'T CLOSE.
I'M BLACK NOT JEWISH. DON'T JUDGE, IT'S NOT JUST ME, ASK AROUND. I HAVE NEVER ONCE BEEN IN A BARBERSHOP, CORNER STORE OR LOCKER ROOM AND HEARD A DUDE SAY, "GAS PRICES ARE WAY TOO HIGH. I JUST CAN'T AFFORD TO DRIVE MY (INSERT NAME OF CAR THAT DOES LESS THAN 20MPG ON THE HIGHWAY). I MIGHT HAVE TO TRADE MY (INSERT NAME OF CAR THAT DOES LESS THAN 20MPG ON THE HIGHWAY) IN FOR A PRIUS. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT, AT THE END OF THE DAY IT'S ALL WORTH IT BECAUSE ISRAEL IS SAFE AND SECURE."
