Defending the Truth

And I've noticed there are a lot of differing opinions as to why they don't have the will or how that lack of will is evidenced.

Would make a pretty thread for discussion, eh?

With the current hardliners in Iran's government who hold the bulk of real power regarding international relations between Iran and the outside world, that "negotiation" is highly unlikely.

My hope is that the reformists and pragmatists within Iran will hold the bulk of control of their government in the coming year or so and real progress with dealing with Iran on the international level will be a result of that change of government...and Iran will become a significantly more responsible and respectable nation as a result.

You see, in many respects, the Iranian revolution isn't exactly over yet.

(Containment of Iran, for now, aught to be the US's position on Iran, I think.)
