#1 well, Ahmed-needs-Jihad heard the Al-Arabiya interview and he essentially heard the Sunni-version of an apology, so he's wantin the shia version.

#2 This really pisses me off. If BO actually does this, that's it for me. It's Iran who needs to apologize to the US for kidnapping our diplomats. How about some compensation for time and suffering, and property? Still waiting...

#3 Hillary, who is probably smart enough to understand at least some of the problems with dealing with Iran, may be secretly smiling. With luck, Ahmadinedjad will go a few steps further (US must apologize for aid to Israel, US must apologize for low oil prices, US must apologize for the problems with the drapes in the Presidential palace, etc.)and Hillary will be absolved of her direction from Obama to engage Iran.

#4 If Bambi does, he is truly spineless and the world will take full advantage of American weakness. If he doesn't, well ... he can at least say no.

#5 If.....

There a number of methods in which intent or an apology can be extended. Techniques which are well understood and accepted in that part of the world. Quite a lot goes on in the diplomatic community that never sees the light of day.

#6 Monday the O said "because all too often the United States starts by dictating ".

Yesterday Clinton said "We have a lot of damage to repair,".

And Ahmanutjob is just agreeing with them.

#8 The Big O can send Peanut with the apology... he'd love to crawl to Tehran and kiss Nutjob's big toe.

#9 "We are sorry for not supporting the Shah further, for despite all his faults and cruelties he was not a madman leading his people to nuclear destruction. We will hand of James Carter for punishment and then work to undo our mistakes forthwith."

Will that apology suffice?

#10 "Oderint dum metuant"

..becomes...

"Let them jeer, so long as they don't think we're, like, uncool."

#11 I think the United States SHOULD apologize, but only after doing something that requires an apology, such as nuking twenty cities in Iran. THEN we'd have something to apologize for - "Geez, I'm sorry we made such a mess of your country... Maybe we could come over and help you clean up the place. We have a couple of Army divisions not doing anything at the moment."

#13 Obama should remind him of all the wheat we are selling Iran in a time of drought.
