Bush Learning Diplomacy:Blinks on Iran
Bush demonstrated that he could learn. That takes him out of the moron classification. I will not call him a moron again. On May 26, 2005, an important step towards solving the nuclear- related problem between Iran and the EU/US was taken.
The World Trade Organization announced the start of formal talks to bring Iran into the WTO. The key was Bush dropping America's veto power that stopped Iran from becoming a member for the past 10 years. The US and the EU rewarded Iran for freezing it's disputed nuclear activity(which it probably was entitled to do). America correctly blinked. Trade is the best peace maker and peace keeper. Why shouldn't the US get some business opportunities from Iran? Countries are like people. If you want something from them, you have to offer something to them.
There is no reason not to normalize relations with Iran. If we can have normal relations with China and Israel, we can have them with anyone.
