Quote by: rmnunez Rick, if we guess that whatever is in the news is some sort of distortion and we make the pertinent adjustments to interpret what we are told, the same news means different things. A note I saw suggests the US favours the EU effort based on the VP's comments, you read it to mean the opposite. You are not alone, in the earlier note the Iranian spokesman said the US sought to portray the EU-Iranian negotiations as a failure. I think the truth is in there somewhere, Cheney is not quite salivating at the prospect of war with Iran, but probably isn't very satisfied with EU-Iranian progress either. I'm not impressed with progress in the negotiations with Iran, are you? |
Cheney lied consistantly, and for that matter continues to lie about Iraq. If you believe him about Iran, well that is up to you. I don't thinlk all news reports are idstortions, FOX notwithstanding, but if someone has lied to me in the past I don't immediately trust him now.
Of course you aren't satisfied with negotiations with Iraq. You also believed that Saddam was hiding tons of WMD, didn't you? You weren't happy with those inspections either.
I think diplomacy is almost always preferrable to war. The ongoing negotiations are not perfect but they are making progress.
