Bush administration meeting with the Iranians

Good news. Is it too much to hope for rationality?

In a break with past Bush administration policy, a top U.S. diplomat will for the first time join colleagues from other world powers at a meeting with Iran's chief nuclear negotiator, The Associated Press has learned.

(My first political thought was that this would really take the fire out of the ads featuring Obama juxtaposed with Ahmadinejad.

But then I remembered, that ad is not about policy. It's about calling Obama a dark-skinned Muslim terrorist.)
