Ah, I see that that jolly wise man of irrepressible good cheer, Ayatollah Khamenei, has called the way the US is negotiating with Iran over its nuclear doings an example of how America hates Muslims and Islam but that he's willing to tolerate the continuing discussions with Great Satan since such niceties are sometimes the best way to do Great Satan harm, or words to that effect - which is a rather interesting take on things, I'd say, certainly when measured against all the grand notions of comity and new hope that Obama and Kerry bring to the table.

Dear Leader's apologetic outreach to the children of Allah really isn't going too well, is it - although I guess his supporters would say that the failure of supine apology is a much better thing than the failure of war, which is all the evil Bush had to offer us - and on the superficial surface of things I suppose there's a kind of falsely comforting truth to that - unfortunately, at least for a cynic like me, that truth is very likely to amount to nothing more than a brief illusion wherein the seeds of a violence yet to come are sown.
