Who's attitude needs to change?

The White House reports that their open to talk with Iran if Iran changes their attitude and starts to play a constructive role in the region. Gordon Johndroe, spokesman for the White House National Security Council said "The collective attitude of the world is that Iran needs to play a constructive role in the region, not meddle in Iraq, and stop its enrichment activities."Iran however says that it will not stop its enrichment acivities and will not sit down for talks till the U.S. changes its attitude. In the wake of the Democratic victory last week, Congressional leaders are calling on President Bush to open dialogues with Syria and Iran in order to resolve the situation in Iraq.

I agree that the United States must begin talks with these countries and that in this instance diplomacy is Americas only chance for resolution. I personally think that President Bush and a team of American diplomats need to sit down with these nations in neutral a neutral place in secret. The reason to meet in secret is because if these talks were publicized I think the terrorists would take actions against the talks. I am drawing this conclusion from the terrorist constant attacks when Israeli and Palestinian leaders plan to talk. Both sides are going to have to have to make concessions on this matter, and I think that the United Nation may play a key role. If the U.N. asserts its power over nations and plays an active role in talks. This will not be a unilateral conversation it will have multilateral effects that could change the world forever.
