Iran Open to Incentives on Nuclear Talks, With a Hedge

What's sad is I can't put it pass them to think this doesn't mean they are holding talks with shrubery.

Chancellor Angela Merkel of German said today that the package of incentives offered to Iran by the Europeans, the United States and Russia could be the first step toward resolving the standoff diplomatically and possibly give the region a greater sense of security.

That region wouldn't be secure if it was domed-off from the rest of the world with a futurisitic, impenetrable force field.

"I believe that it is a truly significant chance to resolve this conflict diplomatically," Chancellor Merkel said after meeting with Javier Solana, the European Union's foreign policy chief.

And I believe everyone is full of shit.
