Obama has no clue about Iran's potential.

Obama is trying to tell the American people that the threat of Iran is tiny compared to the former Soviet Union, so therefore, we should open talks with Ahmadinejad.  Is he out of his mind!!!  The cold war and what we are dealing with now are two entirely different scenarios.  He made reference to the Cuba missle crisis by saying that Kennedy talked with Khrushchev and got the missles out. 

Barack Obama needs to study up on the Bay of Pigs before making stupid statements.  For one, Kennedy did not have direct talks with Khrushchev.  In fact, he never even personally called him.  He did send letters and he had staff talk to Khrushchev on the phone.  However, as for the Cuban missle crisis, Kennedy did not use dialect to get the missles out.  He ordered military action in the form of Naval blockades and used the threat of military force (to the extent of nuclear warfare) to convince the Soviets to remove the missles.

Yes, Iran does not have the arms that the Soviets had, however, comparing the 2 nations are like comparing apples and oranges.  Ahmadinejad runs Iran like a rogue state.  Iran supplies terrorist and Americans have died as a direct result of those military supplies.  Talking to Ahmadinejad is giving him the same credibility as the heads of state of Germany, Great Britian or France.  There is no comparison.  Let's face it... Khrushchev was not the nutbag that Ahmadinejad is.
