Iranian president Mahmoud is all of a sudden willing to have better ties with America.  He wants to establish a better relationship with the US, as long as Iran gets to keep on making nuclear materials.  Always proud of himself, he gave another speech claiming that he is the one who created Obama's offer to talk again by standing up to Bush's "bullying tactics."  Actually, most American's don't feel it's right to tell a sovereign nation what they can and can't do, and I think that perhaps this bad man is still underestimating what the terms of the talks or final agreements are going to be, because most Americans STILL don't want Iran to have nuclear weapons, and I'm sure that ultimately, Iran does want nuclear weapons.

I'm very interested in seeing what the final offer is going to be from Obama and how it plays out, especially with his secretary of state Clintion on the record for absolutely NOT wanting Iran to have nuclear weapons.

At any rate, whether he's doing it as a ploy to try and remain in power through the next election or whether it's a chest thumper in the faces of the American people, the bottom line is that Tehran NEEDS a relationship with Washington, else he wouldn't be doing it.  Unemployment in Iran sucks, as it does everywhere else, and inflation in Iran sucks, as it does everywhere else.  The price of oil dropped and all of a sudden, they don't have the cash flow that they had.  What a crappy world for them when the rest of us get off our asses and go green.
