Nuclear Talks Between Iran and P5+1 Will Be Held in Istanbul
Turkey’s Hurriyet Daily News, quoting Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, repored today that the talks on Iranian nuclear program between the six major powers and Iran will be held in Istanbul in early April.
Maybe the outcome is uncertain, but as Churchill said, "its better to jaw-jaw than war-war." I think Iran is feeling the pressure of sanctions and perhaps the military threat, so at least they are coming back to the table. Good the Turks are involved as well, even if only indirectly.
However Churchill said that in 1954 after he had lead his nation as Prime Minister in two wars.
He also said: “Still, if you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed, if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not so costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no chance of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”
Talking is just delaying the inevitable, and increasing the bloodshed when it finally happens. As long as the current regime exists in Tehran Iran will not be at peace with the west.
'Come what may, be it sanctioning or waging war against Iran and whatever 'talks' it is, Iran would go on with its peaceful nuclear energy program as scheduled.
Iran’s nuclear capabilities are above all else the result of its expertise and intellectual/knowledge base. These factors cannot be destroyed by strikes, and Iran will have its peaceful nuclear program forever. I believe the more complex issue is the willingness, or lack of willingness, to have a nuclear weapon program. That's a more complicated issue and could result in strikes and conflicts.
The Turks Russians,Arabs are all benefiting from Iranian peoples misfortune by having this fascist theocracy as its present leadership. The nuclear issue and the threat of war is a red herring to keep the Iranian people from uprising against the fascist theocracy. Basically the mullahs have created an artificial crises to maintain their corrupt misbegotten power.
Don't hold your breath.
