Credit on behalf of sharing this impressive article, This board is very noble! I bidding visit again….

There were some telltale signs of this last year and early this year too, as Ahmadinejad continued to talk about George Bush as much as possible even though a new president had been elected. He's also not disciplined enough to avoid giving his opinion on subjects he wants to talk about but without any political value anymore such as the Holocaust…and even things like Mousavi's wife's Ph.D during their debate.

Mikey, I respectfully disagree with everything you say. Ahmadinejad is many things, but eloquent and persuasive are not among them. However, if by eloquent and persuasive you mean able to lie and make insane statements with a straight face and condescending smile, then you've got it spot on. As for Obama, his terrific debating skills are, well, not debatable!

With regards to engaging the US, I think Spencer makes a great point. The regime's engaging the west would be a ruthlessly clever ploy to gain legitimacy. First, they would be waging a forbidding psychological war with dissenters internally by being engaged by the west DESPITE their fraud and their revolting human rights violations. Their disastrously disheartening message: “you thought it would make a difference if they saw. Well, they saw, and still we'll go and shake their hands.” Second, their engagement would only bolster the image they have been painting of the west as hypocritical powers who would shake hands with the devil in order to ensure that their interests are served. And third, they would create an illusion of cooperation with the dissent and a show of effort towards compromise since most Iranians were specifically sick of Ahmadinejad's isolationist policies. I agree with Spencer that he has done us all a huge favor by resuming his old monkey business. Thank you Antarinejad!!!

I'm certain that the supreme leader has all but forbade any great foreign interaction at this time with such instability at home, and engaging the US right now would put them in a very weak position to negotiate if the US accepted, even if it did cause Obama to deal with an uncomfortable situation.
