Doubting the power of diplomacy is like doubting climate change at this point. Despite the skepticism Barack Obama faced in the 2008 elections for his willingness to talk to adversaries -- including accusations of naiveté from Democratic and Republican rivals alike, Obama's diplomacy has now both prevented a disastrous war with Iran and an Iranian nuclear bomb and has secured the release of American prisoners held in Iran. And much more can be achieved if America stays the course -- the question is if it can when so much of this success has been built on specific personal relations that have been forged.
