By Nile Gardiner at the UK Telegraph; Barack Obama’s UN speech was pure mush. America’s enemies no longer fear the US superpower
..."Not only is this approach staggeringly naïve. It also send a dangerous signal that the world’s superpower is losing the will to stand up to rogue states, and opens up the possibility of the United States loosening sanctions on Iran.

He made this gesture under strong international spotlight to underscore the value Iran places on being respected as an equal in the negotiations ahead with the United States, Iranian sources stress."
Obama gives his lunch money to the little schoolyard bully before he has to face him man-to-man.
