U.S. Recognizes Iran’s “Right” to Nuclear Power

U.S. Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs William Burns told the Middle East Institute in Washington on Tuesday that the U.S. recognizes the Iranian regime’s “right” to nuclear power, does not seek regime change and is ready for more talks with Iran.

"We seek a relationship with the Islamic Republic of Iran based upon mutual interest and mutual respect. We do not seek regime change. We have condemned terrorist attacks against Iran.

It's great that someone is trying to put light rather than heat into all of this! Is that israelnationalnews.com a balanced news outlet or just a prozionist mouthpiece? I wonder because of the cartoon. It certainly does show 1 side's narrow view. I'd hate for our country's feeling to be represented by one soundbite uttered by Ronald Reagan or George Bush or the like. Politicians are always trying to impress their backers.
