"The international order we seek is one that can resolve the challenges of our times.” Obama
Obama Offers Strategy Based in Diplomacy
Hitler’s skill as a politician also had much to do with Chamberlain’s decision to cede to his demands. Hitler went to great lengths to convince Chamberlain that he was an honest, trustworthy, good person. For instance, upon first learning that Chamberlain wanted to meet with him in Germany in September of 1938, Hitler supposedly exclaimed that he could not let a man of Chamberlain’s age travel so far, but that he himself must instead go to London before realizing that this would not have been possible. It was this sort of story that convinced Chamberlain that Hitler was a reasonable man with reasonable aims, and that he could trust Hitler’s word.
Unfortunately, there was no way for Chamberlain to know that appeasement would not prevent a war. In the end, in fact, it spurred Hitler on and helped lead to the outbreak of hostilities. At least it is now clear, though, that Chamberlain was taking the actions that made sense to him at the time provided the information available to him.

Unfortunately, Obama has not learned the lessons of history, regarding negotiations and appeasement.

Ahmajinedad, like Hitler, is using stalling tactics to complete his nuclear weapons development. Obama's strategy guarantees that Iran will obtain nuclear weapons, and once that happens, it will be impossible to contain him. Ahmajinedad is laughing up his sleeve over the naivete of Obama and his "policies". Showing weakness to a despot just assures that they will grow stronger and more defiant.
Of course, Obama, the malignant narcissist, has a blown-up false self-image, believing that he can do anything, including convince Iran of the errors of its ways. Unfortunately, as with all narciccists, they rarely succeed, and in the process, destroy those around them.
for those that are truly interested in what happens with narcissists like Obama, read this link:

They use people to accomplish their goals, then throw them aside, when they are of no further use. One need only see the WH reaction to Sen. Arlen Specter's campaign, to understand how easily an "ally" is thrown under the bus.
America engineered WWII and they will do WWIII.
