This is not a surprise for those who have been watching Iran's actions and actually taking them at their word when they say such things like "Death to America" while sending lethal weapons into Iraq and Afghanistan, for starters. This latest move, in Iran's continued quest for hegemony in the region and beyond, will probably only be a surprise to those who thought it was possible to negotiate with the largest state sponsor of terrorism. I am afraid time will show what a mistake it was for the leaders of the free world to not have helped the Iranian ...
My latest. As diplomacy talks are set to begin today between Iran and the permanent members of the U.N.

In the opening Letter of Transmittal to his colleagues, Sen. Kerry took a deliberate swipe at the Bush Administration when he wrote in part: “Our inability to finish the job in late 2001 has contributed to a ...
