Huckabee on Iran

Mike Huckabee on Iran:
"We have to be as diplomatically aggressive as we have been militarily aggressive since 9/11. We need to intensify our diplomatic efforts with Europe, Russia, China, South Korea, and India to put more economic pressures on Iran. ... To show how seriously we take the Iranian threat here at home, we need to encourage the burgeoning movement of our states and private entities like the Teamsters, to divest their pension funds of Iranian-related assets. ... We haven't had diplomatic relationships with Iran in almost 30 years, most of my entire adult life, and a lot of good it's done. Putting this in human terms, all of us know that when we stop talking to a parent, or a sibling, or even a friend, it's impossible to resolve the differences to move that relationship forward. Well, the same is true for countries."
