We can only benefit from our relationship with Iran. Not only by solving/reducing the middle east tensions, but also economically. They will immediatley place huge orders for boeing passenger airplanes, they would sign contracts for improving oil and gas infrastructure, etc. We should not continue getting our orders from Israel and the zionist lobby in Washington.<BR/><BR/>TedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-658005950706265601.post-30580366709833775692009-02-12T13:57:00.000-05:002009-02-12T13:57:00.000-05:00Fariborz,Thanks for the comment.

At this point in the relationship, concern of nuclear capability is well founded, but it is only through positive relationship with the "people" of Iran that any real change will come. <BR/><BR/>It is also necessary to understand the their need for security in a corner of the world that is generally hostile to them. <BR/><BR/>Fundamentalist clerics don't wish to see their people develop any sense of freedom, and use the old method of instilling fear to suppress them. Meantime, they accumulate wealth for themselves offshore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-658005950706265601.post-60806574974085610112009-02-12T10:06:00.000-05:002009-02-12T10:06:00.000-05:00Ayatollahs are looking for a commitment from the U...Ayatollahs are looking for a commitment from the US that it would not seek to change it and that’s their ultimate goal by wanting to have direct talk with the US.<BR/><BR/>Although Iranian people don’t like the idea of such commitment and I guess nor the US should commit to it because it is not gonna be any countries business if Iranians want to change regime. It is people’s choice and it should stay like that.<BR/><BR/>There is one argument that Islamic regime often use in regards of Israel-Palestine issues whenever they asked “How do you think we can solve the issue?” and they would respond “It is not our business, it is Palestinians business and we suggest if they put a referendum then people from both sides can vote and decide upon it”<BR/>I guess the US should basically incorporate same argument with Islamic Iran, but hey, would it be any deal if the US brings such argument? I don’t think so.<BR/><BR/>But it’s very important for Iranian people that the US won’t sacrifice their rights for sake of a deal with Islamic regime because most Iranians haven’t been happy with this regime and although the US planned the 1953 coup but still many people think of US as their friend, compare to Russia or Germany. <BR/><BR/>Having relationship with the US even under current Islamic totalitarian regime is people’s wish but they don’t want to see the US supports Islamic totalitarian regime.Fariborz Shamshirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00320083758532084868noreply@blogger.com
