Kerry: Obama Remains Willing to Hold Bilateral Talks With Iran’s ‘Elected’ Government February 27, 2013 By Patrick Goodenough
(CNSNews.com) – Describing Iran as a country with an “elected” government and a “remarkable history,” Secretary of State John Kerry on Wednesday reiterated President Obama’s willingness to hold bilateral talks with the regime.
“It’s a matter of public record that he personally communicated to the supreme leader [Ayatollah Ali Khamenei] that he was prepared to engage and to discuss these issues,” Kerry told a news conference with his French counterpart in Paris.
Responding to a reporter’s question about negotiating with a “terrorist” regime, Kerry pointed out that “Iran is a country with a government that was elected and that sits in the United Nations.”
“And it is important for us to deal with nation-states in a way that acts in the best interests of all of us in the world,” he added, drawing a parallel with President Reagan’s willingness to sit down with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev and President Nixon’s decision to engage with China.
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, speaking through an interpreter, said in reply to the same question, “If we were only to discuss with full democracies, the ministers for foreign affairs would have a lot of free time.”
Kerry also said that Obama “has made it clear that he will entertain the notion of a bilateral discussion” with Iran.
“The president has said publicly on any number of occasions, and it’s a matter of public record that he personally communicated to the supreme leader, that he was prepared to engage and to discuss these issues,” he said.

Ah...but the question is:
Will Iran’s ‘Elected’ Government be Willing to Hold Bilateral Talks With Obama?????? LOL.
I wouldn’t be. And I am not even a sworn enemy of the USA.
John F. Kerry right reading for high echelons of government
You have the right to be stupid.
If you do not exercise that right, anything you say that makes sense can and will be held up for ridicule and condemnation.
You have the right to be an attorney. If you cannot or will not be an attorney, all the attorneys will snicker at you behind your back.
You have a right to be taken seriously, provided you remain stupid.
Hasn’t he done that yet? What’s taking him so long? Still waiting for a return call from the Syrian franchise of the MB?
