John Kerry praises Iran: ...country with an “elected” government and a “remarkable history,”

Based on Iran's current behavior, there is no reason to praise Iran nowadays. As for Iran's government being elected, Kerry must be using a very loose term. Most people acknowledge Ahmadinejad stole the last election through fraud.

“It’s a matter of public record that he personally communicated to the supreme leader [Ayatollah Ali Khamenei] that he was prepared to engage and to discuss these issues,” Kerry told a news conference with his French counterpart in Paris.

Responding to a reporter’s question about negotiating with a “terrorist” regime, Kerry pointed out that “Iran is a country with a government that was elected and that sits in the United Nations.”

“And it is important for us to deal with nation-states in a way that acts in the best interests of all of us in the world,” he added, drawing a parallel with President Reagan’s willingness to sit down with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev and President Nixon’s decision to engage with China.
