Unfortunately, the US did actively work to remove a legitimately elected and very popular Iranian leader and staunchly backed the brutal Shah who lived decadently and tortured and killed his opponents. The US will need to work hard to win the trust of the Iranian people. I hope it can.

and think he can make peace. There never was a man so dumb.

ho ho ha ha hee hee.....

All of Iran's rulers have been or are brutal. Iranians did themselves no favor when they ousted the Shah. If anything earned us hatred it was Obama's refusal to back the Green Revolution.

Obama did win a Nobel Peace Prize

More than 1,000,000.00 Iranian got killed in Iran and Irag war do to the Us and Zionest supports .

That was a long time ago. Iranians should get over it. Do you hear Indians chanting "death to UK"? Or Israelis chanting "death to Germany"? Or Latin Americans chanting "death to Spain"? No. And those crimes were infinitely worse. Your argument is pathetic.

"on the speed and extent to which the Islamic Republic should attempt to patch up its many quarrels with the West" Sure, you'd like to take it slower...so your centrifuges can spin..and spin and spin....

nothing that obama and his supine press want to feed us will change the reality on the ground in iran. the tehran prayer leader was appointed by khamenei. this prayer leader is the true face of the regime. rouhani is just window dressing.

appeaser. Go for it, child.

I am tired of that 1950s invalid fairy tale.. The 1979 hang man Judges - Mohammed Beheshti and Shariat Madari executing everyone in sight . Young girls like Nada Soltan shot by government snipers in the street. The Ayatollahs stold everyones wealth - Give it a rest . Only the religious extremism and moving away from western culture is all that changed . Once again - That 1950s argument is not valid at all.. It is pure BS... Iran did the best job of earning everyones hate.

Iran started the war and attacked Iraq. Iran should have learned from this eight year fiasco which they sent child soldiers to fight. Don't blame others for your ongoing compounding problems.

Are the sanctions and killing the Iranian scientists a long time ago too.

The mullah regime will never give up for nuclear bomb. The Mullah regime believe in Prophet Mohammad word which is one day by peace either by force the entire world population must convert to Islam and Nuclear bomb is the only weapon that Iran need to use against infidels and also President Hussein Obama dose know the words of Prophet Mohammad and the western nations only cares about their interest in Iran.

i don't think so.

mindwar is a permanent state of strategic psychological warfare against the populations and foe nations alike,in its strategic context mindwar reach out to friends,enemies and neutrals alike across the globe,through the media possessed by the united states which have the capabilities to reach virtually all people on the face of the earth,these media are the electronic media tv-radio-web,mindwar target the population of the u.s by propaganda,explaining and emphasizing to people the rationale for national interest,rather it states a whole truth ,if it does not now exist,will be forced into existence by the will of the sinful united states of north america

really mean "death to America" when they say so, time and again. After all, they are honorable Muslims, aren't they...??

FOR EXAMPLE, THEUNITED STATES AND ISRAEL HAVE THE RIGHT TO DEFEND AGAINST POSSIBLE THREAT/AGRESSION FROM THE PRESENT, ''ISLAM'', CRIMINAL REGIME IN TEHRAN, IN (NEARLY,ALMOST) EVERY WAY AND SO ON.

of the Israeli ruling elite. A few people chanting 'death to America' will not halt the detente that is breaking out between Iran and the United States. If NATO are going to pull out of Afghanistan in 2015 then Iran will need to be onside, the west's economy is not in recovery and needs cheap energy, and more importantly as seen with Syria, citizens of the US will not countenance another military adventure in the Middle East. Unless this is to deflect from the chants heard in Jerusalem referring to Ethiopian Jews as slaves. Normal decent Israelis are sick to death of being held hostage by the settlers, the times they are changing, Netanyahu either adapts and survives or becomes extinct

Don't hold your breath waiting for détente with the west unless it's a five minute détente only long enough for sanctions to be removed. And what gives you the impression Iran will be on board for anything other than to move in and fill a gap for regional power? There is also no basis to assume Iran will offer cheap gas or oil. You're clueless about Iran.
