I believe negotiations must be conducted directly and publicly at the civil society, parliamentary, and heads of state levels, aiming to reach a comprehensive compromise on Iran's nuclear programme and defend human and democratic rights as well. It appears that the United States is preoccupied with its own security concerns in addressing the nuclear issue negotiations with the Iranian government, ignoring human rights in Iran. This forgotten element has caused a serious regression in the situation of human rights in Iran over the past years.

Neglecting Democracy

"Neglecting Democracy is More Dangerous Than Nuclear Weapons" Shirin Ebadi

A very good point. Even if Iran had nuclear weapons the warmongers in Tehran may not be able to use them knowing the disastrous consequences of such foolish actions. However, Iran not having them is much safer for Iranians and the world peace.

A great idea, BUT who else really thinks so in Tehran? Those who want negotiatians are not in power, at the moment!
