EU Agrees to Meet With Iran, Stepping Back From Nuclear Demands
EU Agrees to Meet With Iran, Stepping Back From Nuclear Demands

March 2 (Bloomberg) -- European Union diplomats will re- start talks with Iran's top nuclear negotiator, backing away from previous demands that the Islamic Republic cease all uranium enrichment activities before the two sides meet.

Iran's chief nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani will meet with French, German and U.K. ministers tomorrow in Vienna, the International Atomic Energy Agency said today in an e-mail.

2. I heard 5 to 10 years, minimum before nuclear weapons could be built
And that's if all goes really, really well for Iraq. So it would seem that we do have time to try negotiating with them.

I'm certainly no expert, but a lot can change in 5 years, just look at what's happened to America in that time! I don't think we need to trust Iran, but I also don't think a war with them is necessary at this point in time. We need to finish up in Iraq first, at any rate. We can't afford to start anything new right now.

4. ***PETITION TO SIGN: NO WAR WITH IRAN ***
Hello,

For the past year, the growing tensions mounting between the US, Israel, and Iran are reaching a point where military action against Iran is w/in months of becoming reality. The repercussions are terrifying as such military action could involve countries such as China and Russia as they share massive energy/economic interests w/ Iran. The most likely scenario we would face would be the collapse of the US economy as the combination of a massive rise in oil prices and a run on the US dollar would surely be the weapon many countries would use to fight back against a preemptive US or Israeli strike.

For a collection of articles and resources on this subject you can visit this link: http://reseaudesign.com/research/iran/iran_summery.html

I'm starting up a petition which I will be sending out to as many members of Congress as possible. I'm asking for help to get this signed by as many people, possible in the next month. Send it to as many people you can.

Also, here is another petition you can sign from another group:

Thanks for your time
