What hope have we offered them? What change have we offered them? How have we compromised on anything? You're seriously talking out of your ass. You think you can just give them some energy, some cash and be done with it and call it compromise. That's complete rubbish. Here's a start, bring them into the Iraq situation. Have we done this? NOPE! Here's another start, quit denying them the opportunity to help out in the middle east. Of course you will deny this, but in 2001 Iran offered us help in Afghanistan and guess what we said? Fuck you. That's real helpful. I mean class-a diplomacy. That idiot in Iran is just looking for attention and is looking for reasons to try and screw with the US, calling them a terrorist state,doing missions of their coast,telling them to piss off etc etc is giving him plenty of reasons to screw with the US.
