Thoughts on Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Obama's idea of talking with him

You can't negotiate with a person who does not accept fact as reality. Decide for yourself whether Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a reasonable man:
Interview pt 3
Interview pt 4

Some quotes I like are [that he wants to] "wipe Israel off the map", and the reason that current peace offerings have failed is because they include Israel still being a state. Oh and he also believes the Holocaust did not happen and he hopes the US experiences a significant downfall.

Nevertheless, Obama believes he can sit down and negotiate with this man. The fallacy in this logic is that he assumes Ahmadinejad and Iran have similar motivations as the Western world and are knowledgeable and interested in democracy.
