American's mistakenly believe since they are free then everyone else must be too. Those oppressed Iranians and Syrians must really feel helpless because we have people in power who are either uncaring or naïve.

My reaction to Rouhani would be "do you think I just fell out of a tree"...because we are way way pass any diplomatic discussions and to continue in that direction only encourages them to continue this charade.

I think you very likely got it right. Rouhani is in power for PR reasons, a delaying tactic so they can get the time they need to complete their building of nuclear weapons.

Will we be suckered once again by the prospects for "hope and change"?
