Mahmoud Ahmedinejad doesn't seem to grasp that we support Israel because she's a fellow democracy threatened with extinction. And we Americans haven't forgotten his threats to wipe Israel off the map. Or the Khomeinist regime's long standing avowal to destroy America. Wanting a sincere dialogue means a change of behavior and deeds - not just words. In that respect, Iran has a long way to go to persuade Americans it wants a better world. Dropping its hostility of Israel and ceasing its support for terrorists would be a gesture. I'm not holding my breath for it to happen, though.
