The Most Equal Comrade's foreign policy is nothing short of evil

As if the nuke deal didn't legitimize the hate-driven regime in Iran enough, post-America has invited it to a meeting of the minds on Syria:

  Iran on Wednesday accepted an invitation to attend a broad new round of negotiations to resolve the Syrian war, sitting with longtime adversaries including the United States and Saudi Arabia who once sought to bar the Iranians from any role in Syria’s future.The inclusion of Iran in the talks represented the first time that the United States has chosen to formally engage the Iranians diplomatically on the Syria issue. It also came a little more than three months after Iran signed a historic nuclear accord with the United States and other powers that promised to end Iran’s economic isolation in return for limits on its nuclear enrichment, suggesting an effort to broaden the discussion beyond that successful negotiation.

Quite a feather in the mullahs' cap:

“We should thank President Rouhani for his efforts in reaching out to the international community, and the nuclear deal,” said Farshad Ghorbanpour, a political analyst close to the government in Tehran. “Now we are seeing the rewards: We are playing an increasing active role in the international arena.”
That role is something that Iran has desperately sought: Diplomatic weight and respect that bolsters its claim that it, not Saudi Arabia, is the most influential power in the region. “It’s very important because it shows that, following the nuclear agreement, Iran is now ready to cooperate on crisis management in the Middle East,” Seyed Hossein Mousavian, a former Iranian diplomat and nuclear negotiator who now teaches at Princeton, said in a telephone interview. “I’m not surprised, because the leader had said that if the deal were done fairly, with face-saving for all parties, Iran would agree to next steps on other issues. This is a big step forward.”

Yes, indeed, giving this regime a role in "cooperating on crisis management in the Middle East" on the heels of its long-range missile test in violation of UN Security Council resolutions is just a dandy idea.

Our partner in patty-cake is a regime that does this:

After the nuclear deal was signed, the human rights situation inside the country deteriorated signficantly.

Arrests — and hangings — grew in number.

Read the entire linked article. It tells the story of a dissident filmmaker in Iran and the regime's inability to crush his spirit despite years of beatings and torture. He has escaped over the border into Turkey, but Turkey has given him a two-week time frame for finding someplace else to go. He has contacts in the United States and is hoping that can lead to a positive outcome.

And even in Turkey, he's not what you'd call safe:

 . . . his adversaries would not let Emad be, even in Istanbul. He received a “private” phone call consistent with IRGC’s pattern of terrorizing dissident targets abroad. He had to change his SIM card, abandon his acquaintances, and flee.

Also, consider that Iran is at the table in Vienna because Russia has insisted on it.

The eclipsing of post-America is pretty well complete.  What kind of chance does righteousness and real justice have to flourish on the world stage now that no one in a position of influence is interested in such things?
