Ron Paul says U.S. should offer friendship to deal with Iranian nuclear threat - Spokane Conservative | Examiner.com

Ron Paul says U.S. should offer friendship to deal with Iranian nuclear threat - Spokane Conservative | Examiner.com: On Sunday, GOP Presidential candidate Ron Paul said that "offering friendship" to Iran instead of sanctions would be a better solution in dealing with a potential Iranian nuclear threat.

Paul told Fox News' Chris Wallace that sanctions are "acts of war" and said America should treat the Iranian regime "differently."

When pressed by Wallace, Paul said simply, "don't put sanctions on them."

"How are we going to persuade them not to pursue a nuclear weapon?" Wallace asked.

"Maybe by offering friendship to them," Paul responded.

He added that the U.S. negotiated with the former Soviet Union and China - regimes that had thousands of nuclear weapons.
