Latest Iranian Demand

The Financial Times reports that Mojtaba Samareh-Hashemi, a close aid to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has stated that "dialogue with the US will succeed only if the Obama administration accepts Tehran’s right to have a nuclear programme."

So where's that leave our president? If he wishes to talk to the Iranians he has to apology for past US policies, release frozen Iranian assets, lift the sanctions regime, drop all support for Iranian dissident movements, and allow the Iranian nuclear program to progress. And then they will talk with President Obama.

About what? The weather? Maybe they could debate the Holocaust? They must be scratching their heads in the Whitehouse.
