Iran has agreed for serious negotiations. Do you think than Bush can get support for war against terrorism?
Iran Pushes For Talks Without Conditions
Iran offered yesterday to enter into immediate and "serious" negotiations on a broad range of issues with the Bush administration and its European allies but refused to abide by a U.N. Security Council demand that it suspend work at its nuclear facilities by the end of the month.

You must be joking, right? Iran sponsors terrorists.
To the person who said something about Arabs, people in Iran are Persians, they are not Arabs. They do not speak Arabic, they speak Farsi. Most of them, however, are Shiite Muslims because the Iranians of other faiths fled the country after Khomeini's revolution.....
As you said, on August 22 Ali Larijani, hand delivered Iran's 21 page response to UNSC 1696 the package of incentives to dissuage Iran from uranium enrichment. Iran's top nuclear negotiator said today that Tehran was ready to enter "serious negotiations" over its disputed nuclear program but did not say whether it was willing to suspend uranium enrichment — the West's key demand. This was because the West had offered many economic incentives.
On August 31 sanctions may be set against Iran if it continues to enrich uranium. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khameini avers that Iran has a right to have nuclear weapons. Leaders of the Iranian hard-line regime, believe they have a direct line to God, and they'll do whatever 'divine inspiration' requires them to do. Talking to them is pointless.
On August 19, Iran launched a large-scale area, sea and ground exercise he maneuver, the Blow of Zolfaghar (the sword used by Imam Ali), which involved 12 divisions, army Chinook helicopters, unmanned planes, parachutists, electronic war units and special forces. Iran's state-run television reported that the new anti-aircraft system was tested "to make Iranian air space unsafe for our enemies."
On Sunday, August 20, in the Kashan desert about 250 kilometers southeast of the capital of Tehran, Iran tested the Saegheh missile which has a range of between 80 to 250 kilometers. Saegheh means lightning in Farsi. (The language of Iran is not Arabic and Iranians are not Arabs.)
Iran's arsenal also contains the Shahab-3 missile, which means "shooting star" in Farsi, and is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. It has a range of more than 2,000 kilometers and can reach Israel and US forces in the Middle East.
Iran's military test-fired a series of missiles during large-scale war games in the Persian Gulf in March and April, including a missile it claimed was not detectable by radar that can use multiple warheads to hit several targets simultaneously.
The Iranian news service Al-Borz, predicted that on the first anniversary of Iranian President Ahmadinejad's government, in late August 2006, Ahmadinejad is expected to announce what the news service called Iran's "nuclear birth."
In addition, an August 23, 2006 article about Iran's reply to the incentives proposal, that was posted on the Iranian Foreign Ministry-affiliated website , implied that Iran's nuclear technology had already reached the point of no return: "...
The following are excerpts from the Al-Borz report:
"It is expected that the first anniversary of the forming of the ninth government will be the date of the Ahmadinejad government's 'nuclear birth.'
"... Together with [the celebration of] the anniversary of the forming of the ninth cabinet, the president of the country [Mahmoud Ahmadinejad] will hold his third press conference... where he will answer questions from journalists from Iran and from abroad.
"In addition to detailing the activities of the government at the end of [its first] year, the head of the government [i.e. Ahmadinejad] will officially present Iran's positions on: economic and cultural matters, the nuclear dossier, the activities of nuclear research centers, and developments in the region."

I think that Bush needs to take notice from most of the citizens in our country and start working on an exit plan. I think Bush is on a dangerous vendetta because they tried to kill his daddy! Please tell me where the link has been made from Saddam to the terrorist attacks. What happened to looking for Bin Laden? There is speculation that this was a ploy to go after Saddam. Wasn't Bin Laden proven to be behind the 9/11 attacks? Wasn't this why the war started? I think Bush needs to be impeached for war crimes! He definately does not deserve support for his war!

I am sorry but if you think Mahmoud Ahmadinejad really wants to speak you are surely mistaken! What he means in wanting to talk is that he wants to 'buy more time' Coming from his shoes why not continue talking about considering talking! Its been working great so far, why not continue with that approach for the next few years till he comes up with the bomb!!

Bush does not need supporf for any war on anything. He has made it verey clear. God speaks to him and he is doing "his" work. Everyone else is wrong, disloyal, a coward. So, whatever he feels up to, Bush will do...

You need to rephrase your question. What is the subject? The negotiations or terrorism? Stick to one at a time.
