Iran Decides to Release Sailors

Iran's decision to release the 13 British sailors was welcomed by the U.S.,however the White House continues with their Hardball attitude of meetingand talking with Iran.

Secretary of State Condolezza Rice saidon Monday: Reuters reported.

if the circumstances were right, she would not rule out meeting Iranbilaterally, but with the usual caveat that Iran must give up enrichment.

Andpreviously said she would meet with Iran only in a multilateral context, alongwith other nations dealing with Iran over its nuclear ambitions. Iran may not bethe easiest country to deal with, but I think it's a no brainier to open up dialoguewith them, as opposed to the silent treatment and not knowing what they arethinking or doing.

Trump said Rice seems like a nice person, but doesn't cut it as a negotiator.

"I see Condoleezza Rice -- she goes on a plane, she gets off aplane, she waves, she goes there to meet some dictator," Trump said."They talk, she leaves, she waves, the plane takes off. Nothinghappens, it's a joke, nothing ever happens. I think she's a very nicewoman, but I don't want a nice woman. I want someone that's notnecessarily nice."

I say let's talk, lets make deals and let's stop looking for the "next" country to bomb.

efforts to strengthen domestic opposition forces in Iran continue, as
does the propaganda war. - Amandeep Sandhu (Apr 4,
