Independent: Denis MacShane: US should talk to Iran, before it’s too late
America broke off diplomatic relations after the 1979 overthrow of the Shah and the hostage-taking in the US embassy in Tehran. Now is the time to send an ambassador to Iran - why not Bill Clinton for the first 12 months? - and initiate a new policy of trade, travel, tourism and mass contact between the people of Iran and the West.

Mmm, but if I understood McShane’s will-this-do piece on Galloway last week, we should be invading countries like this because it’s good for the Muslisms if we do.
