Good Article on the "impending war with Iran"

http://www.esquire.com/features/iranbriefing1107
Makes me sad

Some highlights:

quote:
Scanning [the offer made by Iran], Mann was startled by one dramatic concession after another -- "decisive action" against all terrorists in Iran, an end of support for Hamas and the Islamic Jihad, a promise to cease its nuclear program, and also an agreement to recognize Israel.

quote:
...the diplomat told her that Iran was ready to cooperate unconditionally, a phrase that had seismic diplomatic implications. Unconditional talks are what the U.S. had been demanding as a precondition to any official diplomatic contact between the U.S. and Iran. And it would be the first chance since the Islamic revolution for any kind of rapprochement.

quote:
Suddenly countries like Syria and Libya and Sudan and Iran were coming forward with offers of help, which raised a vital question -- should they stay on the same enemies list as North Korea and Iraq, or could there be a new slot for "friendly" sponsors of terror?

quote:
Calling for "full normalization" in exchange for "full withdrawal" from the occupied territories, Abdullah promised to rally all the Arab nations to a final settlement with Israel� At the Arab League meeting, Abdullah got every Arab state to sign his proposal in a unanimous vote.

quote:
"We talked to the Iranians quietly up until 2003. The president chose not to continue that channel."
