Well, here goes.
Letter from Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to President Bush.
What does it contain?
An opening to settlement of the impasses over Iranian Nukes? to go public about negotiations over the future of Iraq?
I'll go out on a limb and suggest that we may have a "Nixon goes to China" moment.
What am I talking about?
Having labeled Iran as part of the "Axis of Evil" who better than George W. to proceed with negotiations with them?
The Persians (as some that I have gotten to know refer to themselves as) basically are the "odd folks out" by both ethnicity (non-Arab) and creed (Shia rather than Sunni) in SW Asia.
They could be America's "natural allies" in seeking to bring stability to the region.
The population is young, educated and interested in "Western" culture.
Sooner or later the Mulla's will have to surrender power.
Assuming that there is to be a rapprochement with Iran, oil prices will fall.
Maybe this summer.
Will help the Republicans in the fall…
But as "Jacko" said ... on the other hand ... a glove.
