Bob Ney, a Republican congressman for Ohio, yesterday extended an invitation to Iran's parliamentarians to engage in a dialogue with the US Congress.

The offer by Mr Ney, a Farsi speaker, to engage Tehran was intended as a riposte to moves by Republican senators to make regime change in Iran official US policy and cut off communications.

Iranian parliamentarians have previously expressed a desire to meet their US counterparts but their efforts were blocked by higher authorities in Tehran. Guy Dinmore, Washington

Bob Ney, a Republican congressman for Ohio, yesterday extended an invitation to Iran's parliamentarians to engage in a dialogue with the US Congress.

I think we should contact his office and that of the Republican leadership and let them know what you think of his plan. This is NOT the first time he has done something like this in support of the mullahs.

So this congressman is bucking US foreign policy? Don't think that'll get very far. As a matter of fact, I believe there's a law against that.
