The U.S. plans to join talks with Iran involving Russia, China and its main European allies in an effort to advance a diplomatic effort to prevent the development of an Iranian nuclear bomb, the State Department said.Riddle me this, conservatives: why would we not want to be at the table? Why was not engaging Iran with the rest of UN Security Council such a badge of honor during the Bush years?
State Department spokesman Robert Wood said the U.S. wants to “seriously engage” Iran to break the “logjam” in the dispute. European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana is set to request the new round of talks with Iran that will include France and Britain -- both of which are also permanent members of the United Nations Security Council -- and Germany.
The U.S. “will be at the table from now on,” Wood said.

"Remember that Ahmadinejad is in the midst of a political campaign, one in which his chief rival is pushing from the left, as it were, and arguing for increased freedoms. My point is that Ahmadinejad wouldn't take the position of engagement at this time if he didn't think it politically popular in his country."Source: Bloomberg
