The amazing thing about this is that the Iranians were offering to hold talks with the U.S. back in 2003 and Bush just ignored them (at least that's what I hear).

They were ALWAYS more of a threat to us than Iraq, yet we passed up an opportunity to open communications when we were holding ALL the cards.

Now we've got this mess and the Iranians KNOW we don't want another war. Now THEY hold ALL the cards.
