Both sides will exchange reversible concessions for reversible concessions and you reversible concessions for you irreversible concessions for irreversible concessions. Thank you. That is a great place to stop. Underlying all of this is the bitter history of the u. S. And iran. No one better to talk about that then john, who has experienced it in many different ways. Is this really going to make a difference between the u. S. And iran . As our iranian friends like to say, there are only two possibilities. It either will or it wont. So there we are. It is quite simple. They have been speaking and writing very sensibly about iran for many years. This is a very passionate subject in this town.

It is a remarkable opportunity for us all. The downside is clear. Sudden, everybody is looking at the photo of the boston bomber. Theybody knows who is boston bomber. He has been clearly identified. The only problem is it is not him, because it swept through the world so fast, and that kind of accuracy is critical. Especially when decisions are being made so fast. Ok, lets go back for a moment. During your interview, you spoke quite enthusiastically about the local journalism effort. Since the interview, a bunch of things have been announced, and the main thing is that yo
