Ron, Wouldn't you think that a smart guy like Gus would have clicked on my name and read my profile before he makes use of me to justify his pseudo intellectual attacks on Princeton graduates. I was never even near Princeton, and to save Gus the ordeal of reading my rather plain Profile, I didn't manage to earn a degree other than an A.A. plus one year towards an Engineering degree when family obligations supplanted the education funds. The only thing I know about Princeton is that some doofus European klutz was once employed there; fellow by the name of Einstein I believe. Is Gus' little diatribe against Princeton grads what is called painting with a broad brush? Chas

Told you so.... Iran cautiously optimistic on U.S. ties March 21, 2001 Web posted at: 9:50 AM EST (1450 GMT TEHRAN, Iran (Reuters) -- Iran said it was cautiously optimistic about future relations with the United States and was closely watching the moves of the new administration in Washington, state news agency IRNA reported Wednesday. "Despite the (recent) U.S. move to renew sanctions, Iran views with cautious optimism comments in Washington about the need to review U.S. policy toward Iran," IRNA quoted Hadi Nejad-Hosseinian, head of Iran's U.N. mission, as saying. "Iran closely follows any development under the new administration in Washington," said Nejad-Hosseinian, who leads Iran's political lobby in the United States. IRNA said he was speaking at a university in Montana late Tuesday. The official's comments came a day after Secretary of State Colin Powell said Iran was the "subject of a review" by the United States. "We are studying Iran in considerable depth...We will continue to watch developments closely and hopefully," he said. Powell has said before that Washington would seek out opportunities to improve ties with Iran, frosty since the 1979 Islamic revolution which overthrew the U.S.-backed shah. But Tehran's hopes of a quick reversal in U.S. policies were set back when President Bush renewed a ban on trade and investment with Iran last week, calling the country a threat. "Bush's extension of the policy of the previous U.S. administration was disappointing," Nejad-Hosseinian said. "This shows that the United States lacks the good will toward Iran." He called for "constructive changes" to U.S. attitudes toward Iran, something he said would "end hostilities and pave the way for normal ties." Copyright 2001 Reuters. All rights reserved.
