Best Plans thwarted: It was all part of President Obama's attempt to present a softer side in the service of one of his chief foreign policy goals: dissuading Iran from building nuclear weapons

Give up your own nuclear weapons if you expect anyone to listen to you about that subject!!!

And remember that your military's Predator drones killed at least 80 civilians in Pakistan during the demonstrations and riots in Iran (in whichless than 20 civilians and non-civilians on both sides were killed)!!!

Stop what your own U.S. empire is doing before you focus on the smaller crimes of another nation!!! Don't be hypocrits!!!

For an accurate understanding of the Iran issue, in the world context, you might want to read this article:

How right you are Simon!!
Isn't Obama a big hypocrite and you aren't even including the surge doubling our troops in Afghanistan and the NEW offensive in Helmand TODAY??

But "on the other hand" one of our dear Leader's favorite phrases, give the guy a break, it aint easy turning the Titanic around.

Our savior Obama may yet spare us ignominy in our far flung wars.
Isn't his doubletalk on Iran going to defang Ahmadenijad? Isn't the sacrificial lamb in our own hemisphere to Hugo Chavez enough to show our good faith?

Please Simon show mercy.
Please Simon give mercy.
Please Simon show mercy. All praise to thine glory and that of the vanguard of the proleterial.

Is Ki$$inger's P.R. firm still orchestrating the return of the Sha's $on to Iran?

Bolton: ‘Targeted force’ is the ‘only option’ for Iran.

It would be nice for any son of Iran to be able to return.
And as with Afghanistan, I foresee that a reversion to a secular state from a theocracy where the Ayatollahs rule will mean an honorary head of state.

To please you with irony, I went to the CIA factbook for this quote " The president (Karzai) is both the chief of state and head of government; former King ZAHIR Shah held the honorific, "Father of the Country," and presided symbolically over certain occasions but lacked any governing authority; the honorific is not hereditary; King ZAHIR Shah died on 23 July 2007" Could work
