I don't know when they will occur. But don't you think the American economy takes precedence? I want most of his attention on solving American problems Frankly, I'm tired of us sending trillions overseas to other countries and us playing the world's cop while the US burns and our retirements disappear. I was scheduled to retire next year. Now I'll be lucky if I retire in 5 years or more. This downturn is impacting real American lives. Let the rest of the world take care of itself for a change.

U.S. makes first move, invites Iran to Afghan meet

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - In a major U.S. shift, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced Thursday the United States planned to invite Iran to attend an international conference on Afghanistan planned for later this month.

"If we move forward with such a meeting, it is expected that Iran would be invited as a neighbor of Afghanistan," Clinton told a news conference in Brussels after meeting NATO foreign ministers.
