[Peace-discuss] GObama! US Agrees to Talks with Iran

[C. G. Estabrook]

He certainly hasn't broken all his promises: he promised to kill more people in 
AfPak (what the previous administration had done was termed "baby steps") and he 
clearly has done so. His administration is substantially more aggressive and 
brutal there and is apparently planning more of the same.

Regarding Iran, "there's vagueness in [the US] position," eh?  How surprising.
