"I think it’s lunacy and a lot of us see NO good coming of this - at worst, it will give Iran more time to steadily develop nukes quietly while all this “international negotiation” is going on."

Oh I don't know about that. I could also be that Bush is giving Iran an ultimatum, do or die.

We can't know for sure. All I can say is when the dust settles in Iran, I can only hope that it will have huge craters that no man can venture in for a few hundred years.

Excerpts from the AP article:

“William Burns, America’s third highest-ranking diplomat, will attend talks with the Iranian envoy, Saeed Jalili, in Switzerland on Saturday aimed at persuading Iran to halt activities that could lead to the development of atomic weapons, a senior U.S. official told the AP on Tuesday.

...... Burns would not meet Jalili separately and would not negotiate with him.

“This is a one-time event and he will be there to listen, not negotiate,” the official said.

The gathering in Geneva will be led by European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana, who is seeking a definitive answer from the Iranians to an offer of incentives that the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council and Germany presented last month.”
