Nixon went to china as a power play against the soviets, but the point stands, I suppose.
The thread title says "talk to Iran" not "negotiate with Iran." Talk is cheap. Pictures are even cheaper. Take for instance Sarko's visit to England this spring with Carla. He had dropped 30 points in the French polls in the past 6 months. All of a sudden Carla--who BTW is pretty damn hot--- brings a chic costume change for each official appearance and pulls a Jackie Kennedy on the Brits. Sarko then goes up 15 points in domestic polls simply because of this dog and pony show which says that the French still know how to dress. (And Americans are shallow?) My advice to any president....always go for the subliterate.
