Diplomacy can work

Reminds the Iranian former ambassador to France.

Pygalgia quotes Newsweek:
In diplomacy everything's possible and nothing is impossible. I think both countries should lay all the issues on the table and discuss their problems. There is no problem that cannot be solved. If both countries recognize each other's rights, then they can collaborate on many issues, including Iraq, Afghanistan and smuggling of narcotics. They can have differences of opinion, but there is no reason for the current hostility. America has its own differences with China, Russia and even Europe, but that doesn't mean that they cannot talk.
Exactly. But when has talking been Bush's strong point?

Dreaming of diplomacy is one of the delusions that I entertain at times. Our shrub is too petulant to engage in a mature exchange, and we're all worse off for it.

It's hard to talk to someone who pouts.
