Obama, go and see the Ayatollahs now

Clinton last summer condemned Obama for declaring that, as president, he would personally negotiate with Iranian leaders without preconditions. But in October, she said that, if elected, she would direct her subordinates to begin unconditional negotiations. The difference, Clinton argued, is that she would withhold the prestige of a presidential-level meeting until progress warranted it.

Why doesn't Mr Obama go right now to Qom, and see Mesbah Yazdi face to face, and then Khamenei, and then AhMADinejad, with the certainty that he will come back as a hero, and be elected with a huge majority?

For crying out loud, how many times have we had the US elections, and the Seyyed elections, use each other to get the people scared, and come out to vote for the war lobby, and the peak oil advocates?  Can the people of United States and Iran see through this?  Yes of course they can.  But can the press and its commentators realise this.

Fact is, that if the people of Iran, were given the dignity and respect, and were told that they can get rid of the Seyyeds with just talking about a national strike, instead of a US strike, then maybe things will change in Iran more peacefully.  But nobody wants that boring solution do they.
