1. Here is one story

Iran offered 'to make peace with Israel'
By Gareth Porter

WASHINGTON - Iran offered in 2003 to accept peace with Israel and cut off material assistance to Palestinian armed groups and to pressure them to halt terrorist attacks within Israel's 1967 borders, according to a secret Iranian proposal to the United States.

The two-page proposal for a broad Iran-US agreement covering all the issues separating the two countries, a copy of which was obtained by Inter Press Service (IPS), was conveyed to the US in late April or early May 2003.

Trita Parsi, a specialist on Iranian foreign policy at Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies who provided the document to IPS, says he got it from an Iranian official this year but is not at liberty to reveal the source.

The two-page document contradicts the official line of the Bush administration that Iran is committed to the destruction of Israel and the sponsorship of terrorism in the region.

3. This is real news,

and can someone explain to me why our MSM hasn't covered this story? It's been obvious to allot of us for a long time that this admin didn't want peace in the middle east, and this is what i would call the smoking gun that could prove that point.

just headlines and spin. They carry the politbureau line to a T

6. This administration has done nothing to constructively resolve

issues in the ME. Because the goal has been to actively insert ourselves there to control the resources of the region.
