Neville Chamberlain was a decent man who did not want a repeat of the First World War's carnage. He thought he could talk down/buy off Hitler. All he did, as we know, was give Hitler more time to re-arm. The ayatollahs will be very happy to talk tough, talk sweet, talk anything provided they can carry on talking long enough to get more time to arm themselves with yet more atomic bombs ( US intelligence has told Obama they already have one ). Like Chamberlain, Obama is a decent but equally naive man.The idea that his saccharin message to the Iranians will weaken the hardliners in the coming "election"** is risible. They will argue quite convincingly that they took a tough line and lo the Great Satan is on his knees begging to be friends.
Let us imagine for a moment however that Ahmadinejad and his friends don't make it in the Iranian "elections". Will the so called moderates be any less keen on acquiring nuclear weapons? There is absolutely no evidence to suggest that this might be the case. All the ayatollahs want the kit and they want it bad. Sorry Barack ; no cigar.
** To stand in the Iranian "elections " you have to be a muslim and you have to be approved by a small gang of self appointed and blood thirsty saurians known as the Supreme Council of Ayatollahs. Kind of "election" Joe Stalin used to have.
