The United States said Wednesday it would join in face-to-face talks with Iran over its disputed nuclear program if Tehran first agreed to put challenged atomic activities on hold, a shift in tactics meant to offer the Iranians a last chance to avoid punishing sanctions.
Iran dismissed the offer as "a propaganda move."
Yes this is clearly propaganda on the United States part, and a clumsy example at that.
However President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's letter to President Bush is also an obvious example of propaganda as well.
What seems clear is that neither side wants to seriously solve this stand off. It seems to serve both Iran and America for this thing to continue on for the foreseeable future. For the rest of us all we can do is wait and hope that things do not become so excitable that there is another terrible response to a perceived threat, by either side.
Anybody flashing back to the Cold War?
