IRAN has responded negatively to overtures by US President Barack Obama for improved relations, but has stopped short of an all-out rejection of ending three decades of hostility.
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told a rally in the northeast of the country on the weekend that while the US used "the slogan of change", in reality nothing really changed.
While he criticised the US and its history with Iran, he also left open the possibility of improved relations.
He told the crowd that his message to Washington was: "We will watch and we will judge - you change, our behaviour will change."
...In a dramatic change of tone, Mr Obama said in a video address on Friday that the US wanted Iran to take "its rightful place in the community of nations", but said there were conditions for this to happen.
Their rightful place is one where they are excluded:
...George W. Bush branded Iran part of the "axis of evil", and called it a terrorist nation seeking to gain nuclear weapons.
Interesting how the so called moron knows that appeasement never works; while the allegedly visionary has no understanding of the lessons of history.
