How EMBARRASSING!!!!
Why not FACE UP, APOLOGIZE, and GIVE IRAN the RESPECT it DESERVES?
Because of Israel?
"US, Iranian diplomats break the ice at conference; Cautious step after years of tension" by Anne Gearan, Associated Press | April 1, 2009
THE HAGUE - .... The United States and Iran have been estranged for 30 years, since young Iranians stormed the US Embassy in Tehran and took more than 50 Americans hostage for 444 days.
How come they don't mention the coup and imposition of the Shah that led to such events?
Yeah, I am sick of half-truths and omissions from my war-promoting AmeriKan jewspapers!
Representatives of the two nations are rarely even in the same room with one another, but they have had accidental-on-purpose public meetings on the sidelines of other international gatherings.
This is SO JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL!!! These are the ADULTS running this world?
The face-to-face pleasantries, along with a diplomatic letter hand-delivered to the Iranian delegation by a US official, were overtures from the Obama administration aimed at testing the clerical regime's willingness to take larger steps. Afghanistan and Iran share nearly 600 miles of border, and Clinton said the United States and Afghanistan share concern over the flow of drugs into Iran....
Pffft! How DISINGENUOUS!!!
If anything, the west is running drugs INTO IRAN to help DESTABILIZE the place!!!
The diplomatic letter, which Clinton and aides would not describe in detail, asked for Iran's help in releasing or lifting travel restrictions on two American women in Iran, and information on a man missing for two years since traveling to Iran on business.
That's SOME CHUTZPAH, let me tell you!!

The cases and the American position on them were known. What is different was the Obama administration's decision to approach Iran directly, instead of using a go-between. Information or help from Tehran "would constitute a humanitarian gesture by the Iranians in keeping with the spirit of renewal and generosity that marks the Persian new year," Clinton said.
Yeah, put the onus on them as if they have done something wrong!
What CHUTZPAH!

"The hope that Iranians will blame their own government for their hardships, and that their complaints will influence the regime"
Are we CLEAR?
The LEAST you could do, 'bamer, is CALL OFF the AMERICAN TERRORISTS!!!!!!!
Obama recently sent an unusual video message to mark the Iranian new year in March.
The conference opens a week of diplomatic gatherings in Europe where Obama is also expected to try for a fresh start in the bumpy US relationship with Russia. Numerous US allies have encouraged a better relationship with oil-rich and strategic Iran....
Organizers of yesterday's conference called it a success merely for the range of nations and organizations attending....
Yeah, just meeting is a success. The next time I go over a friend's house, I'm going to call it a success!
This week's NATO summit meeting is not expected to raise significant numbers of fighting forces, despite Obama's decision to add some 21,000 US troops before the end of summer.
That's what this meeting is REALLY ABOUT, huh? MORE WAR!
