A lot of interesting news today; President Obama and Iranian President Rouhani connected by telephone Friday. If you follow my blog, I predicted this would happen back on September 24. Remember you read it here first—that is
if you have been following my blog. Here is what I wrote:
“There is speculation on whether he will meet with Iran’s newly elected President Hassan Rouhani. Some commentators even wonder if they will shake hands. I don’t
understand why there is any doubt. Iran has viewed the USA as the “white devil.” Under George Bush, the US called Iran part of the “Axis of Evil.” The axis includes Iraq (prior to the war) and North Korea. So the question is; will evil meet with the devil? I think it is inevitable.”
Perhaps history will view this initial telephone call the same way they viewed Nixon’s initial contact with China http://clicktotweet.com/b616c. Again, you heard it here first. Check back with me in 25 years.
In other news, Kanye West launched a Twitter tirade against Kimmel after Kimmel made fun of him in a video segment on Tuesday's "Jimmy Kimmel Live." West got angry over it and demanded that Kimmel apologize publicly. Apparently, he has been tweeting about it frequently and angrily.
First, I know from personal experience that if you joke about someone, sometimes you will offend them. Second, west should use caution when tweeting. Tweets are not private and they become public record. You can’t delete them later. I wrote about this in my e-book, Leadership for New Managers: Book Two, http://smashwords.com/b/300090.
