Obama and Iran

The New York Times Blog: Reports on the Obama policy towards Iran, the NYT writes the following, " Obama administration has all but lost hope that Iran will follow through with the agreement reached in Geneva on Oct. 1 " This is why President Obama will never be Ronald Reagan, the Obama West Wing has acted more like Neville Chamberlain when it comes to Iran and Russia, it has seen its attempts at talks thrown back in its face by Tehran, now Iran has three US hostages that it will try as spies, while with Russia Obama has sold out Poland and the Czech Republic on the idea that Russia would back tough sanctions against Iran, Russia has pulled out of that deal, Obama has had to make nice with Eastern Europe and place a new defensive shield in Eastern Europe. President Obama should the read the just posted Reagan speech, weakness and appeasement gets you squat in the International System, toughness is respected. Lets hope Obama does not get that 3am call to say that Israel is attacking Iran, what will Obama do, help or shoot down the Israeli planes.
