Time To Negotiate

With terrorists. Says President Barack Hussein Obama.

For his first-ever televised interview, Mr. Obama decided he would grace Saudi-owned, Dubai-based Al-Arabiya news channel television with this honor. Did he then utilize this opportunity as a bully pulpit to point out the obvious: Iran's misogynistic and homophobic death culture, their insane ways, their lies regarding history and Israel, their insistence on producing nuclear weapons in the most unstable cauldron in the world -- absent Pakistan/India?

Uh, no.

Now:

Officials of Barack Obama's administration have drafted a letter to Iran from the president aimed at unfreezing US-Iranian relations and opening the way for face-to-face talks, the Guardian has learned.

Even before this letter has been sent, however, Iran fires back and sets their own mandates to be met:

Saeed Leylaz, a Tehran-based analyst, said a US letter would have to be accompanied by security guarantees and an agreement to drop economic sanctions. "If they send such a letter it will be a very significant step towards better ties, but they should be careful in not thinking Tehran will respond immediately," he said.

Nothing like lending even more credence, veracity and acknowledgment to a terrorist political national power bent on eradicating Israel and every Western nation.

Excellent start, Mr. Obama. You'll soon discover Iran will honor all agreements and only have your best interests at heart, cheerfully setting Islamism aside for the greater goal of peace.
