The media is reporting the recent comments by Secretary of State Rice as a "major policy shift" on the Iran question. The U.S. is now claiming to want to enter negotiations with the Islamic Republic if they agree to halt their nuclear program.
Good luck!
I understand the point of the offer -- that is, to paint the Iranians as unwilling to compromise and to call their bluff -- but the time for these games has past. Iran, which sits atop the world's second largest oil reserves, is still claiming they are only enriching uranium for energy-production purposes.
Their goal all along has been to get the bomb first and then claim they want to negotiate. Sadly, I think we'll have reached that point quite soon. Then what?
