Newsweek and Time Articles: Compare and Contrast

These two articles were interesting to read, especially since they were from only last week.  In the two articles, I did find some comparisons, but I found a few more contrasts.

Although both articles are about Iran, they seem to focus on different sides of the Iran issue.  The Newsweek article mainly talks about the nuclear program as a whole.  It talks about the commitment to defense of four people, Henry Kissinger, William Perry, Sam Nunn, and George Shultz and how they all have an objective of a world without nuclear weapons.  The Newsweek article also talks about how getting rid of nuclear weapons in both Iran and North Korea is going to be a joint effort; it won't happen if the United States is the only one doing it.  Russia, China, Britain, France, all countries have to help.  It also says that both military experts and strategists need to come together to help get rid of this problem.

The Time article mainly talks about Iran and how they want better relations with the United States, even though at prayer sessions they chant "Death to America."  It also talks about Anti-Americanism of Iranians.  They were chanting that on inauguration day.  In the mind of the United States, Tehran is seen as a solution to the problem.  The Iranians feel that the United States has meddled in their business too much and want them out.  They feel that if the US can interfere in business so can Iran.  

Both of these articles are about Iran and the nuclear weapon status of the country.  They both also talk about how the program needs to be watched and put to an end.  Both articles say that it needs to be a joint effort in stopping it.  

Both of these articles are great at explaining the situation in Iran but they both seem to focus on different aspects of the issue.
