Sincere talk is exactly what’s needed with Iran

    The Feb. 18 column by Mona Charen, “We just love to talk, declares Biden,” does nothing but mislead Americans about talking to Iran. Most Americans are not aware of the history of the U.S. involvement in Iran, but Iranians are. Without some critical knowledge of this history, it’s easy to come up with platitudes that contribute nothing to solving the problem.
    During an American-led coup in 1953, the United States completely changed the course of history in Iran by ousting the duly-elected government of Iran and reinstituting the shah. The United States then continued to support the shah’s repressive regime for another 26 years. Just sitting down and talking to Iranians, no matter how many times, is not the point. The point is, given the history, how can trust be restored between these two countries?
    President Obama seems to be on the right track and we hope he can present the right tone to the Iranians, most of whom have a generally warm feeling toward the United States. Americans would do well to encourage sincere talks rather than engage in ominous threats.

yes, we need to embrace these here people and make some peace with them instead of all the bush threats and that from the past 9 years that almost gor us all killed with nucleer war people WHEN WILL WE STOP THE BULLYING OF THE WORLD?

I guess when they stop trying to kill innocent people by flying planes into buildings, blowing up ships, and embassy's then we can be nice to them.

How is this policy working these days?

BULLYING OF THE WORLD?  QUE FACISTA!
