A glimmer of hope for U.S.- Iran rift

The Bush administration's new openness to having Secretary of State
Colin Powell attend a conference along with an envoy from Iran next
month is spreading hope among European and Arab officials that such a
meeting may reduce tensions in the region.
State Department officials insist that Powell's newly expressed
willingness to be in the same room with an Iranian representative at a
conference on the future of Iraq does not portend a softening in other
U.S. grievances, including the demand that Iran abandon its suspected
nuclear weapons program.

"We don't see this as an opening for a new dialogue," said a senior
State Department official. "It just shows we will talk to Iran on
certain issues like Iraq when it is in our interest to do so."

I'm suprised that Iran is willing to be in the same room with us since we just sold 500 bunker busting bombs to the Israelis.
