Via Khaleejtimes: Iran could talk if US shows goodwill
"Iran’s influential former president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani on Wednesday said Teheran was prepared to "remove obstacles" in starting talks with the United States if Washington showed goodwill."
"US President George W. Bush meanwhile on Wednesday flatly rejected direct talks with Iran, amid mounting international tensions over the Iranian nuclear programme, which the United States alleges is cover for a weapons drive."
Iran and U.S. are staging a drama of lies and deception. In my opinion, they are working in collaboration to carry out their hidden agendas. U.S. is using the Iranian rhetoric of political slogans as pretext for carrying out its imperialistic designs in the region.
While Iran is using the pretext of US threats to arm Shiites and militants to stabilize the Sunni governments in the region to assert Shiite dominance in the region. US collaborated with Iranians to overthrow the Taliban government in Afghanistan. In Iraq we see Iranian trained Shiite clerics dominating the government.
Sunni governments should wake up from slumber and counter the conspiracies against Sunni Arab and the Muslim world.
