U.S. Vice President Joe Biden says the United States is willing to talk to Iran about its nuclear program but stresses Tehran faces isolation and pressure if it stays on its current path.

Biden spoke Saturday at a security conference in Munich. He said there will be "meaningful incentives" if Iran abandons

what he called its "illicit nuclear program and support for terrorism."

But he says the United States will continue to develop missile defenses to, in his words, "counter a growing Iranian capability."

Talking is always better

than fighting. I agree

with the US government

on this issue.

Good comment. Change can be for better or worse.

I think Iran will change slowly, as the younger generation grows, but the leaders will not allow a real democracy or western culture.

"Talking is always better than fighting." Can you prove it? You can't.

Prove. NO.

What I meant is it is better to talk first unless there is an immediate threat and if talks fail then fight. Sometimes force is the only answer, but if there is no emergency then talking could possibly prevent a war.

The present leaders want to hold power and keep the system they created.I just don't think they will give up power peacefully in a free election. One day there may be another revolution.

Explore what Iranians dare to post on their blogs. I have watched this site for years, and many disappear. or just stop, tho they are still online.

Thanks for those links.

I sometimes read Iranian blogs.

There is much uranium for sale in the world.

Much yellowcake, many trying to keep Iran from getting more. Did you hear about the yellowcake discovered in Iraq, that was kept secret until managed to ship it to Canada last year? two different stories: AP and AmericanThinker.

This one offers much food for thought:

It simply means, as it always did, that in 2003 Saddam was sitting on enough yellowcake to make more than 100 nuclear weapons.

That he sat on 550 metric tons of yellowcake under UN "safeguard" is about as comforting to me as knowing the convicted child rapist next door has a case of duct tape (dual use, by the way) that the police check up on every week.
