I think Bush might just be so desperate for a legacy that he just might bring the US and Iran a little bit closer before he leaves office.
The presence of the State Department's third-ranking official, Undersecretary for Political Affairs William Burns, in Geneva is intended to shore up a ``two-track policy'' to reward Iran for suspending uranium enrichment and impose penalties if it doesn't, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said yesterday.
It seems that Burns will probably be there to offer the carrot if Iran decides to stop their uranium enrichment. If Burns is rebuffed then they could actually put in place some tough sanctions because they could say that "all channels have been exhausted." It seems like a decent plan to prevent a wider war in the Middle East that would drive oil prices to $200+.
