IRAN EXPERT OFFERS ADVICE

The BBC reports that Jimmy Carter pretty much wants the US to bend over for Iran, if necessary, to get nuclear talks started. And why should anyone take any notice of Carter's advice?
His comments are significant, given that he was the president when US relations with Iran hit an all-time low.

He witnessed the Iranian revolution and the seizure of the American Embassy in Tehran in 1979.

He struggled for 444 days to release the US Embassy staff held hostage.
If Carter had acted decisively back then we probably wouldn't be in this mess today.
