Will Iran, whose leaders deny that the holocaust ever happened, have sworn themselves to the destruction of Israel, ever be appeased by the Great Satan Infidel as they chant in anti-western rallies?
Barrack Obama had mis-judged them from the beginning when he said Iran wasn’t a threat on the camping trail. Again he miscalculated when he went on Arab television to apologize for American polices and promising the murderous Palestinians $9 hundred million in US tax payer money to rebuild Gaza rebuffing our ally Israel.
He will continue to be wrong in the Middle East because of his foreign policies of appeasement and toleration just as Jimmy Carter got the Russians wrong during the SALT treaty and the Iranians wrong during the Iranian hostage crises. Ronald Reagan got it right, "Negotiate from a position of strength." That is assuming of course that anyone can negotiate with fanatical mentally challenged religious ideologues. But you certainly don’t negotiate from a position of tolerance, appeasement, and weakness either.
According to this NYT article:
Khamenei said there will be no change between the two countries unless the American president puts an end to U.S. hostility toward Iran and brings ''real changes'' in foreign policy.
Never mind the fact that Iran has supported violence and terror over the globe from North Africa, Lebanon, Israel, the Balkans, Asia, to Iraq that have killed Americans soldiers and civilians and many allies.
Iran's mentality towrds the US is that of brainwashed minions who worship a God-like cult leader.Besides recognizing Obama's weaknesses in foriegn polcy they aslo got something else right, the empty rhetoric of cahnge.
''They chant the slogan of change but no change is seen in practice. We haven't seen any change,'' Khamenei said in a speech before a crowd of tens of thousands in the northeastern holy city of Mashhad.
In his video message, Obama said the United States wants to engage Iran, but he also warned that a right place for Iran in the international community ''cannot be reached through terror or arms, but rather through peaceful actions that demonstrate the true greatness of the Iranian people and civilization.''
Khamenei asked how Obama could congratulate Iranians on the new year and accuse the country of supporting terrorism and seeking nuclear weapons in the same message.
Khamenei said there has been no change even in Obama's language compared to that of his predecessor.
''He (Obama) insulted the Islamic Republic of Iran from the first day. If you are right that change has come, where is that change? What is the sign of that change?
Make it clear for us what has changed.''
More change we can believe in.
