Ahmadinejad: Iran to talk, U.S. gave in

Iran's president said Thursday his regime is ready for talks over its nuclear capabilities, but he sent mixed signals on how much is open for negotiation and suggested Tehran has the upper hand in its showdown with the West.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad repeated Iran's position that uranium enrichment is an untouchable national right, a clear jab at the West two days after Iran received a package of economic and technological incentives to suspend the program.

Ahmadinejad portrayed Iran as having forced Washington and its allies to accept the Islamic regime's "greatness and dignity" and increasingly bend to its will.

2. I read an article about 1 year ago

in the India times. The writer was complaining about the US, how we take a completely custom-made approach to every country on earth. We treat some with kindness, want to bomb others, and play hard-ball with others. The author felt there is no consistency, no principles.....only underlying corruption.

This was in reference to the issue of India having nuclear power, but Iran can't have it.

At the end of the article, the author wrote: "It just goes to show you that if you hang in there long enough, the US will back off and you will get what you wanted".

Looks like the Iranians read that article, too.
