Obama's Loveletter to the Ayatollah Rubuffed

So much for engaging in a dialogue.

Prior to this month's disputed presidential election in Iran, the Obama administration sent a letter to the country's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, calling for an improvement in relations, according to interviews and the leader himself.

Ayatollah Khamenei confirmed the letter toward the end of a lengthy sermon last week, in which he accused the United States of fomenting protests in his country in the aftermath of the disputed June 12 presidential election.

Obama attempts to contact these thugs and they promptly rig an election, murder people in the streets, and laugh in our faces about it.  Yeah, just the types you want to negotiate with.

No word yet if they've been uninvited to the 4th of July barbecue.
