Iran says "evil approach" by U.S. prevents talks

By Fredrik Dahl 23 minutes ago

TEHRAN (Reuters) -
Iran will not negotiate with the United States until it stops its "evil approach," the government spokesman was quoted as saying on Tuesday, two days before the two foes were due to attend a meeting on
Iraq.


U.S. officials say Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is ready to talk with Iran on the sidelines of the May 3-4 conference in Egypt, if such contact is deemed useful.

But Iran appeared to dismiss the possibility of bilateral discussions at the meeting in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, which is to seek ways to end the violence in Iraq and will be attended by major powers and Baghdad's neighbors.

Iran and the United States have not had diplomatic ties for nearly three decades and are sharply at odds over the conflict in Iraq and Tehran's nuclear ambitions.

2. Right said...
Nothing more evil than killing half a million innocent people in a illegal war solely because non-muslims want to take their lands and resources. In non-muslim cultures generally, people who kill solely for money are usually considered a rank or two above child molesters.

3. As hypocritical as it is coming from them, the words are still accurate.
It would make things a lot better for everyone if the US did stop its evil approach.

4. There was a story last week
about Condi wanting to talk with the Iranians and Cheney overruling it. Seems the Iranians wanted their 5 citizens released. Everyone claims that the surge is just to buy time for a political settlement, but Cheney is blocking any chance for politics to succeed.

U.S. officials say Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is ready to talk with Iran on the sidelines of the May 3-4 conference in Egypt, if such contact is deemed useful.

But Iran appeared to dismiss the possibility of bilateral, ministerial-level discussions at the meeting in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, which is to seek an end to violence in Iraq and will be attended by world and regional powers.

Iran and the United States have not had diplomatic ties for nearly three decades and are sharply at odds over the conflict in Iraq and Tehran's nuclear ambitions.
