Hanson's conclusions -- a., b. and c. -- are very logically drawn.

I wonder if anybody at the White House (or at State) realizes just how badly they've screwed this up.

They've been suckered -- don't they even know it?

It is entirely possible that Obama admires the dynamics and power structure of which Ahmadinejad is a component.

Given this administrations propensity to call out by name it's detractors and political opponents, it's thuggery in assuming control of automobile and banking entities, “hunting down and doing away with dissidents in the wee hours of the night” sounds like “Progressive” politics to Obama.

More than half of Ahmadinejad’s parliament doesn’t show up for his victory bash, and he wants an apology from Obama? What a tool!

Obama's giving the impression he "understands" the thug ways - and he does.

Iran's leaders have the same value system as ACORN and Alinsky. They cheat if it gets them to their goal. All totalitarians seem to figure out the same spirit crushing "truths"...

Ahmadinejad to Obama:

"Do you want to speak with this tone? If that is your stance then what is left to talk about... I hope you avoid interfering in Iran's affairs and express your regret in a way that the Iranian nation is informed of it." he added, according to Reuters.

Meanwhile people are being hacked to bits with axes on the streets of Tehran. Nice "talking" Obama.

Why he fell into this trap?

Dictator of Iran, who is living in a trap but millions of Iranians who want FREEDOM from YOU?

Meanwhile, as the mullahs begin the long, drawn-out work of hunting down and doing away with dissidents in the wee hours of the night, how can an American president be seen with, talk to, or reach out toward a police state in the systematic process of state-sanctioned terror against its own?
Because he's not an American president in the first place.

Dead on.

Succinct.

SNOBama is a child leading an administration composed of adolescents, and having to somehow deal with a truly evil set of dictatorial liars and other filth in this world. Those who snubbed McCain, please tell me that at least you regret doing so for this one subject.

Love to read Victor Davis Hanson essays. The esteemed Robert Gibbs, White House Press Sec., most notably quoted, “Never heard of that historian” ought to get out more, might learn something. Bet VDH would have loved to help ‘dunk’ Gibbs at WH Luau. Keep up the good writing VDH.
