DBWI: Obama To Meet With Shah And Iranian PM Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

According to the BBC, U.S President Barack Obama plans to meet with the Iranian shah and Prime Minister Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in a few days. How do you feel about this?
 
Well, Reza Cyrus Pahlavi has about as much power as Queen Elizabeth (and its been that way ever since his father agreed to give up most of his authority and become a European-style constitutional monarch after massive pro-democracy protests) so that part is a photo op. About Ahmadinejad...not sure. He's a bit Islamist and anti-American for my taste (well, him and the entire Islamic Democratic party for that matter), but hasn't said anything completely crazy yet.

OOC: The POD is the Shah agreeing to give up most of his powers before the Abadan cinema fire and Black Friday. While its rather unlikely, its the only senario I can think of to produce this situation.
