Has the Obama administration Iranian policy been to lenient?

Obama campaigned on and has since agreed to high level talks with the Iranian regime with no preconditions. While I was initially in favor of this policy for a number of reasons, it seems like recent events have shown the Iranian regime to be brutal and paranoid. Should the American government and our NATO allies still welcome the government into the community of responsible nations?

    The last thing you want to do when your foes are divided is threaten them. That gives them a common enemy and a reason to unite.

    The policy of engagement has already produced benefits within Iran. Iranians have been inspired to stand up to their regime.

    Amadenijhad has a few screws loose ... no doubt... but the Iranian people are for the most part intelligent and have a love for Democracy. Amadenijhad won't be in power forever... so no reason to unnecessarily taint what can one day be a good relationship. Does that mean we should turn a blind eye when he throws a temper tantrum? No, of course not! But it does mean we shouldn't continue on with the whole "Axis of Evil" BS

    Obama is completely out of his league dealing with Iran. They are laughing at us. He is coming off as a spineless ninny.

    He is opening the door for another attack.
