A great article Jozef.

Is there any doubt that after Obama "sits down" with Ahmedenijad, the same will be said? That he seemed "very inexperienced, even immature"?

People here have gone on about Obama's intelligence, but Khrushcev was unimpressed by Kennedy's intellect, apparently, with the remark he was "too intelligent and too weak". Those who have been ranting about Obama's intellect ought to sit up and take note of this remark. Kennedy's intellect did not avert disaster.

It takes more than intelligence. A person has to be both strong and experienced, and Obama is neither.

Despite his eloquence, Kennedy was no match as a sparring partner, and offered only token resistance as Khrushchev lectured him on the hypocrisy of American foreign policy,

How could Krushchev lecture Kennedy on the hypocrisy of the American foreign policy if there was none?

cautioned America against supporting “old, moribund, reactionary regimes”

What a surprise....."old, moribund, reactionary regimes".....who could that have been? The Shah of Iran?
