War On Terror: Is there some grand strategy behind President Obama's "Happy Persian New Year" video message to Iran? Or is America embracing the naive notion that we can get the Islamofascists to like us?

The results of affirmative action? ;-)
They want to completely destroy our country and kill each one of us. So what do we do.... we send them a cartoon.
Socialist leaders are basically cowards. Obama is a socialist though certainly no leader. He will suck up to the terrorists just like the socialist leaders in Europe have been doing.
Increase uncertainty with the IAF regarding overflights of Iraq.
Send a message to Iran than we don't intend regime change, or any change in the status quo.
Surrender to the mufti's, both the US and Israel.
