Should Obama Have Sent Russia's President a Secret Letter?
It was reported yesterday that President Obama sent a secret letter to Russian President Dmitri Medvedev. In the letter, Obama offers that the United States will back down on its Eastern European missile defense ambitions if Russia helps dissuade Iran from developing long-range weapons. Should President Obama have sent a secret letter to the Russian leader? To what extent can Russia help the United States persuade Iran to abandon its nuclear program? What other concessions might the United States have to make in future diplomatic attempts to woo Russia? Post your thoughts.

"bad idea"
Good fellow Obama, is similar on the fox. Obama uses all methods to agree. It is More than such presidents to America and problems would be less (100 %). I to you shall fairly tell with ours better to agree, in fact we always carry out pieces of paper which sign (time has signed it is necessary to execute, in a brain at many Russians - will of the Kremlin the law). When America stored nuclear rockets which should destroy under the contract (I do not remember which), we(russians) were cut with the rockets (fools). Fortunately almost all agreements are limited on time. I live in Russia and did not see and did not hear about " artful plans on capture of all world " (jotas it would be interesting). And that up to Putin that it still the good child, he constrains such dogs hating the West (old-kind communists, nationalists, radicals, etc.) that he also thanks should tell. I do not understand as you can abuse Obama which simply tries to help of his country :( .
I like America and the Europe and since recent time their some politicians.
secret letter to an enemy?
Putin is our enemy because Putin chooses to be. Framing Uncle Sam as a threat, as does the Ayatollah and Hugo Chavez...Putin too, gives them a rationale to be virtual dictators. Dictators need rationales in faux democracies. So, Vladimir is our enemy, even though we don't recognize it. Send a secret letter to him? No. I hope Obama has learned his lessons, namely Putin will try to undermine him and make him look bad, and there is no such thing as a secret letter.
Passing notes in school?
Every day I am amazed at how ill prepared our Jr Senator is for the "real world". The more scary part to me is the American voters who put these clowns in office. Trust Russia? They're simply waiting for Obama/Pelosi to finish what the Communists have always believed: America will crumble under it's own stupidity. We've got to ride this out for at least two years.
To reiterate: God help US!
PS...As bad as Carter was, comparing him to Obama is harsh.
