The Dangerous Game

In Obama's remarks last night, VO/BO (Vainglorious One/Barack Obama) stressed the need and his desire to engage the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Iranians will welcome the opportunity to forestall consequential action against their nuclear program. They will be glad to lecture the United States about our "crimes". They will demand America remove her support from the Zionist entity. In the end, the time Iran gains from this delay for negotiation may be just enough to give the fanatical regime in Tehran the ability to fire the nuclear-tipped missile that destroys Tel Aviv. The US President is convinced his personal magnetism will overcome the challenge from Ahmadinejad and the Mullahs. Obama is a Utopian in the respect that he believes in the power of intention. He has stated that all people have more in common than the things that separate them. One wonders what Americans have in common with the Iranians who have slaughtered the peaceful practitioners of the Bahai faith, have suppressed their own Arab (Iranians are mostly Persian) and Sunni minorities, have detained, arrested, and tortured dissenters including university students, professors, and even a pair of brother physicians who are that nation's leading HIV researchers for supposed efforts to lead a velvet revolution. The Iranian authorities have held their tiny Jewish minority hostage, forcing them to constantly denounce every Israeli action of self-defense as the most monstrous of crimes against humanity and have disappeared fourteen(14) Jews and executed several alleged Israeli agents. Iran has arrested several US citizens who were there on academic exchanges or to visit their families. A retired FBI agent investigating tobacco smuggling also vanished in Iran. The Shia clerics and the prime minister who run the country are end-timers who fervently believe they must initiate world chaos in order to bring about the return of the Mehdi, their messiah. Law enforcement in Iran routinely tortures to obtain confessions (their legal system turns on coercion), has until the last couple of years publicly hanged and mass-executed people whose guilt could not be established in any Western court proceeding, and to top it all off, the Iranian atavists stone people to death including the public stoning with active community participation of women accused of adultery. I'm sure the former community organizer will have plenty to talk about with the end-time fanatic whose highest aspiration and declared mission is to "wipe Israel off the map".
