Obama said, in his inauguration speech that "if Iran is prepared to unclench its fist, it will find an extended hand". Ahmadinejad, presumably trying to appeal to the dwindling band of idiots who believe his populist rhetoric, shouts and screams and demands apologies for "60 years of US agression". He also signifies that Iranian nuclear developments will not be halted. So not a lot of reciprocity on the table then. The extended hand of friendship is greeted by the jagged teeth of blind dogma.
