President Obama is worthy of admiration for his efforts to improve relations with America's adversaries Iran, North Korea and a few others. But for most of those states, it's time to give it up, and the Obama administration appears to realize that.
I agree. There's no point in trying carrots or stick diplomacy with Iran or North Korea. Diplomacy has failed. I do wonder, however, how the writer plans to deal w NKorea's nukes and Iran's nukes+terrorist ties? Just live with it, and wait for something to go wrong/hope that "sane" people like Kim and Ahmadinejad can be trusted w nuclear weapons? Or is the writer advocating support for military action since it's obvious that Iran and NKorea cannot be trusted w nuclear weapons, and obvious that diplomacy has failed.
So what is it? Now that we've established the long-held "neocon" claim that diplomacy w NKorea and Iran isn't possible-what is it?

Well, if improved relations with those guys fail, perhaps -8bama can try elsewhere with better potential: How about adversaries of Honduras and Israel?
What, exactly, is our policy? “Wishful thinking” is not a valid answer.
“President Obama is worthy of admiration for his efforts to improve relations with America’s adversaries Iran, North Korea and a few others....”
Uh, no, he isn’t. You don’t improve relations with barbaric tyrants who murder their own people by treating them as if they are no different than a civilized society that respects liberty and life.
What you do is artificially elevate them to a place at the table without making them change their ways...though WE have the upper hand.
Obammie the Commie is an anti-American ass-clown.
“.... You ask, What is our policy? I will say; “It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us: to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy.” You ask, What is our aim? I can answer with one word: Victory - victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival.” — Churchill
