This nonsense about Tehran and Washington "meeting" is like a Junior High Prom...
Who'se "asking" whom to the dance... Well, who cares...when they want to talk they'll talk. Frankly, I find it all quite dull. But anything that Dubya and Condi find interesting these days, I find to be quite dull.
The notion that Muslims must be kept in a technological "dark age" about nuclear science simply will not fly in the international community...
Now if there is real proof that a "bomb" is being made...that's different.
But Dubya and the Neocons goofed so badly in Iraq...that their credibility regarding the Iran Issue is suspected by everyone.
Very likely both Washington and Tehran are using this issue to distract their respective publics from the dismal policy failures in both capitals...!
Frankly, I'm not worried about Iran...I'm bored with Iran...and with Dubya's constant attempt to spin his way out of discussing the real problems in this country.
