Right on time, the Boston Globe gives two Tehran academics the keys to the op-ed page to put a perfectly sane-sounding face on an insane regime. Insane probably isn't right, they just sound that way some times. The regime knows exactly what they're doing: A new season in Iran relations By Pirouz Mojtahedzadeh and Kaveh L. Afrasiabi
...A new season in US-Iran relations after 30 years of diplomatic alienation has dawned on the horizon. With the right mix of policies by both sides, the spell of hostility can be broken.
Odd thing. It always seems to be the US that needs to change its behavior and reach out. Shouldn't it be Iran that comes clean on its nuclear program, stops supporting terror groups, stops executing its citizens for barbaric reasons, etc... I guess that's asking too much.
