Iran for Grownups

Heh. Looks like some folks are tired of the hair pulling and can kicking and want to leave the sand box:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Major powers are considering a joint meeting with Iran next week that excludes the United States as a way of bridging a divide over its nuclear program, U.S. and European diplomats said on Saturday.

They described the planning as extremely fluid and unlikely to result in any firm decisions until key officials confer in New York Sunday and Monday on the fringes of the annual meeting of the United Nations General Assembly.

Concerns about Iran’s nuclear program are expected to be a major focus of this year’s General Assembly and multiple meetings and speeches on the subject are likely.

The question is “whether there could be a meeting — not necessarily with the United States — that would allow the Iranians to say there was a process of negotiations that had started and as result of this, they decided to resume the suspension of uranium enrichment,” one diplomat said.

You’re going to see a lot more of this over time, as this country descends into adolescent idiocy. Like Israel, the US has a lot of international goodwill to excuse bad behavior. Like Israel, the US is finding that the rest of the world is willing to extend that for only so long. Just because we have nukes and a lot of debt doesn’t mean that the adults in the world of diplomacy aren’t going to move forward on the issues at hand.

Irrelevency! Our new national motto.
