Excerpt:
Obama renews call for Iran dialogue
March 20, 2010 5:59 a.m. EDT
President Obama reiterated his offer of dialogue with Tehran in a message on Saturday to mark the beginning of the Iranian new year.

The online video, subtitled in Farsi, was timed to coincide with Nooroz, a festival celebrating the Persian new year. It pledged the administration's commitment to a more hopeful future for Iran.

"I want the Iranian people to know what my country stands for," Obama said in the message. "The United States believes in the dignity of every human being, and an international order that bends the arc of history in the direction of justice -- a future where Iranians can exercise their rights, to participate fully in the global economy, and enrich the world through educational and cultural exchanges beyond Iran's borders."

Obama said though Iran has "chosen to isolate itself, " he is open to dialogue.

"That is why, even as we continue to have differences with the Iranian government, we will sustain our commitment to a more hopeful future for the Iranian people," he said.

Thanks for heads up on Persian New Year. I am not well informed about the culture, but have great respect for impact of some of their leaders.

Came to love and respect the Persian people during the #iranelection phase through twitter.

We in Texas are approaching a landmark anniversary on Monday. It is San Jacinto Day, April 21. You hear a lot of talk about Remember the Alamo, but the battle of San Jacinto put things in motion that still resound.
