total bs. these issues ar not black and white, it isn't what's "wrong and right", they're different approaches.

you can negotiate a "middle ground on iran's policy on israel". if they do not establish diplomatic relations but cease advocating israels's destruction and their sponsorship of terrorist groups targeting israel, that would be acceptable. it's a "middle ground" that acheives what's needed.

you'll need to define "tradition of capitalism", as that is a wide ranging statement. do you mean laisse faire capitalism, which we have not had in america? or do you mean mercantile capitalism? perhaps the social capitalism that we've embraced for the last century?

you'll also need to define what exactly you mean by "obama's socialism" as he hasn't shown to be much of a socialist.
