No Rapprochement Possible

The mullahs who run Iran could not even tolerate the first ray of the sunshine of freedom, and they no doubt manipulated the outcome to facilitate the election victory of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad over "reformist" candidate, Mir Hossein Mousavi. From a public relations and world opinion standpoint, Mousavi's election would have been preferable as nuclear enrichment could have continued apace with the theocrats still controlling the populace, but a more modernist, moderate face cloaking the evil intentions of the real powers. The amazing aspect of the Iranian plebiscite did not take place in Iran at all, what happened there was utterly predictable, but in Washington, where Barack Hussein Obama rushed out to herald his own triumph at altering the course of history with a single speech, his outreach to the Muslim world in Cairo. The President of the US is so taken with himself that he believes his own magnetism, that no doubt had some suasion with some gullible American voters, can change the world. Obama displayed terminal naivete about the way power works. Obama showed himself, particularly in light of the outcome of a huge victory for the end time fanatic Ahmadinejad, to be the most idiocentric egoist to ever occupy the White House. Being able to read a speech seamlessly may dazzle a voter in Sheboygan but will have no effect on the realpolitik bad actors in Tehran or Pyongyang. Obama sparks danger with his unmerited self-opinion that permits release of Gitmo terrorists, blithe and facile suppositions that if you just talk to the globe's evildoers, your great gifts that elevate you over all previous Presidents will pacify the violent, and by force of personal charisma, you, Obama will have saved the planet. Ahmadinejad's blunt answer has belied all efforts by Obama to sweet talk the Iranians who have one great national goal-the liquidation of the Zionist enterprise.
