Iran's been trying to settle the impasse over its nuclear programme ahead of the nation's upcoming address to the UN General Assembly. The country's foreign minister will join negotiations with the six world powers later this week. The stand-off has dragged on for years, and now the country's new leader Hassan Rouhani pledged to re-start peace talks in return for an easing of painful sanctions. To talk more about Iran's diplomatic turnaround RT is joined by John Limbert - a veteran US diplomat who was taken captive by revolutionaries in the 1979 Iran hostage crisis, and then later served as US deputy assistant secretary of state for Iran.

Just shake his damn hand! :mrgreen: But on a more serious note something needs to be done with this. We need direct contact between are two countries leaders on this issue. A new change has come to Iran and lets see what happens with direct talks.

Cease enrichment, allow full access to inspectors and acquire fuel (for plants) from Russia. That deal has been on the table for years. I'll believe the regime wants peace when they agree to that.
Franklin Roosevelt was in Munich in 1938? I must have missed that.Change? What change? The politcal leader of the most powerful free nation in Earth, making nice with the political leader of a pugilistic small country with an espoused philosophy of world domination and genocide of the Jews? *Yawn* It's a rerun. We saw it in Munich in 1938.
They accepted the same accept with Brazil and Turkey until the U.S stated that it reserved the right to attack.
Franklin Roosevelt was in Munich in 1938? I must have missed that.
Menachem Begin, no liberal he, made peace with Anwar Sadat, beginning that process just 4 years after Sadat launched a war against his country. Because Sadat saw that enough was enough, and a perpetual war footing wasn't working for his country. Perhaps Rouhani sees the same thing with his country's situation.
Clearly, you haven't been paying attention to what he has been saying.The president of Iran is a mouthpiece nominated by the Grand Poobah. He has not said anything different than past years.
We want talks, we want a deal. We have no intention of producing nukes... Same old Poobah.Clearly, you haven't been paying attention to what he has been saying.

Besides, in 1938, Britain and France, even together, were underdogs against Germany. In 2013, America is a much bigger threat to Iran (should a war start) than vice versa. Obama is operating from a position of strength. If you don't believe me, ask Osama bin Laden. Ask Moammar Khadafy. Ask Hosni Mubarak. And, yes, ask Bashar Assad.

At least he hasn't publicly called for the murder of a novelist
List of fatwas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaIn an interview given on September 30, 2002, for the October 6 edition of 60 Minutes, American Christian minister Jerry Falwell said: "I think Muhammad was a terrorist. I read enough by both Muslims and non-Muslims, [to decide] that he was a violent man, a man of war."
The following Friday, Mohsen Mojtahed Shabestari, the spokesman of Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, issued a fatwa calling for Falwell's death, saying Falwell was a "mercenary and must be killed." He added, "The death of that man is a religious duty, but his case should not be tied to the Christian community."[11]
America won World War I. That made us a first-rate power.Neville Chamberlain, the British Prime Minister. Roosevelt represented a second tier power at the time. Historical awareness is a vital trait in order to be the informed citizen of a republic. Carry on.

I wouldn't mind him recommending that Orson Scott Card get slapped. And if he wants to hurl insults at Ayn Rand's grave, I'm all for it.
Here's reality: Conservatism doesn't work, in either domestic or foreign policy.I don't think any of us would have a problem with that. Care to address reality?

"Reality has a liberal bias."
That's all I need. Everything else is details.That's all you got?

Don't you right-wingers DARE suggest "remedial reading." You trying to lecture me about history is like bringing a peashooter to a tank battle.
http://ww2total.com/WW2/History/Orders-of-Battle/United-States/US-Army-1942.htmThe U.S. Army was a puny weakling when the war began
When the European war began in earnest on September 1, 1939, with the German invasion of Poland, the U.S. Army ranked seventeenth among armies of the world in size and combat power, just behind Romania.
. . .
Some American coastal defense guns had not been test fired in 20 years, and the Army lacked enough antiaircraft guns to protect even a single American city.

Americans were growing uneasy about Great Britain’s ability to defeat Germany on its own. Our own military was woefully unprepared to fight a global war should it called upon to do so.
