Good for the President !
It is a lot easier to negotiate and find common goals with someone if you aren’t throwing rocks at ’em.

Personally, I think it’s brilliant. Iran won’t suddenly get all misty-eyed ’cause he did this but now they have to deal with a President who isn’t as easy to demonize as Bush was.
Calling Bush all those horrid names and epithets was easy; they were mostly true. Now, calling Obama these things rings hollow and forces the Iranian gov’t to approach his administration differently, perhaps reasonably.
The Iranian people aren’t the gov’t of Iran. There’s some shit stewing in Tehran that may get snippy here in the next 12 to 18 months. Obama is setting the stage for the US to be there to help pick up the pieces if there’s a popular uprising. Lots of things have to happen before that’s possible but this Nowruz message is a great first step.
Freeper heads are like zits, you can’t pop just one!

Whats a freeper?
Jon,
I believe it has something to do with a rather extremely conservative web site named Free Republic where a lot of the posts seem to be off the chart.
