US/Iran talks

From the start of his presidency Obama has been talking about reestablishing relations, and good ones at that, which Iran, which is a power house in the Middle East. Improved relations with Iran could lead to a limiting of Iran’s nuclear capabilities, possible peace between Arabs and Israelis and most importantly help with the war on terror and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Since Obama has started talking about improving relations the government of Iran has pretty much said that they would believe that when only when Obama stopped talking and started to act. Well it appears that that day may be near at hand as president Obama has stated that the US is ready to participate with other global powers, which is a first for the US, in negotiations which Iran and its government over their nuclear capabilities and the limiting of them. The leader of Iran seems to see this as a positive step forward too because he made some unusually conciliatory comment to the Obama administration. This is a giant leap forward in the relations between our two nations since they were ended in the 1979. The Bush administration usually stayed away from direct talks with the Iranian government. Hopefully this preliminary action will lead to improved relations with the Iranian because the world needs governments that are willing to talk and compromise, not ones that only care about one belief.
