Americans and Iranians to 'talk'
The BBC is reporting that for the first time since 1979, official talks will occur between representatives of the USA and Iran! The topic of the talks will be 'Iraq'.
There will be no discussion of Iran's future nuclear power developments. The sole topic will be the current state of affairs in Iraq. It is worth reminding readers that Iran and Iraq fought a very bloody war in the recent past.
I have to admit some excitement at this prospect. Clearly, you can't find two nations who are more divided in terms of ideology and world view. This has to be considered as a good thing for everyone. Discussion is always superior to bullets. As long as they are talking (no matter what the topic) we can sleep that much more securely at night.
