The Beauty of Diplomacy

I just got an update from a news service I read stating: "Iran has the right to enrich uranium but does not insist that other states recognise its right, Iran's chief nuclear negotiator said Nov. 17, Reuters reported".

If they weren't Iranian I would say they had been studying the Talmud to come up with such a convoluted yet brilliant solution.

They are saying they could enrich uranium if they wanted to, but they are not going to require that their right be recognised.  They maintain their "honor".  Their national integrity has not been impinged upon and yet the rest of the world also is able to maintain its' "honor".

Now of course rest of the world includes Israel that might view things slightly differently, as well as an American population still seething over the injustices of the Iran Hostage affair.

But inch by inch the face of the Middle East is being redrawn.

One can only hope it is a prettier version than the one we have now.
