"Mr Satterfield told the Senate committee the US was "prepared,
in principle, for a direct dialogue with Iran"."

Well good on you. I'm sure the Iranians are just begging for talks....with
the great Satan.

& yet...

"Mr Satterfield told the committee talks with Syria were unlikely
until Damascus changed its policy.

He accused Syria of having "cast its lot - as it remains today - with
Iran, with Hezbollah, with forces of violence and extremism". "

riiiiight so you're prepared (in principle) to talk to Iran but not to
Syria on the basis that it's dealing ....with ran.....

& How a country which has invaded an Arab country, subjected it to an
appalling level of violence & anarchy & has supported another
country in a violent attack on yet another Arab country has the gall to
castigate others as "forces of violence" is somewhere between sad
& humorous.
