A slap in the face from Iran

In the worst insult  to America ever, Iran is sending a former terrorist to the United States to serve as Iran's  United ambassador to the United  Nations.  The nominee -- Hamid Aboutalebi --  was one of the terrorists who participated in the imprisonment of American diplomats  for 444 days in 1979.

Is our president and our State Department so cowardly and weak  that we will accept this deliberate insult? In Obama's negotiations with Iran, he gave up sanctions and allowed Iran's leaders to boast they got everything they wanted from a weak president.

Will Congress and the American people stand  by  while the Obama administration accepts  another slap in the face, allowing the world to see  the United States as weak and not to  be trusted?  I have no faith that we will act forcefully and gain respect.
