Man, in light of the fact that Iran’s administration has imprisoned reporters and shot its own protesting citizens in cold blood, Obama’s plans to “engage” with Ahmadinejad seem even more enlightened. Good luck with that Barry.

lol @ adam.
newsflash. the only thing the us can do in the current iran situation is stop the reform movement dead in it’s tracks by getting involved.
let’s hope the obama administration is smarter than that.
