Iranians Hold a Silent Peace March

The Iranian people are doing all the right things. They're demanding their rights and the leaders are paying attention. Check out more video here. No matter what happens, the people won. Hopefully, the government will not make the decision to crack down on protesters. Mousavi is calling for another march tomorrow. If you're on Twitter, check out the Cyberwar guide for the Iranian elections here.

Iran's Supreme Leader Sees No Change

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei says he hasn't seen change in U.S. policy toward Iran.
He sounds like he has a lot in common with our hard right faction. All extremists sound alike, don't they?
Surely, this is where our extremists sit back in their recliners with their keyboards and criticize diplomacy. And this is where the columnists whip out their editorials about how diplomacy with Iran will never work.
But it's doubtful Obama will stop communicating with the people of Iran (see Obama's message to Iran here). It's the people, especially the younger generation, he needs to reach because they can make a difference in Iran's future, and consequently, our future.

Bush Diplomat Talks to Iran's Chief Nuke for First Time

George Bush, dare I say taking a cue from Obama, is sending a diplomat to Geneva for the FIRST TIME to engage in nuclear talks, according to NPR. Listen here.
Yahoo: The United States is to send a top ranking diplomat to attend international nuclear talks with Iran on Saturday, marking a major shift in Washington's policy on negotiations with Tehran.

Undersecretary of State William Burns will attend the weekend meeting in Geneva between EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana and Tehran's nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili, a US State Department official said.

The United States has no diplomatic relations with Iran and until now has refused to even participate in preliminary discussions with Iranian officials unless Tehran first suspends its nuclear enrichment activities.

Burns, the United States' third-ranking diplomat, would be in Geneva "to receive the Iranian response" to the latest package of incentives for suspension offered by the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany.
