Iran welcomes dialogue, rejects condition. Iranian Foreign Minister, Manouchehr Mottaki has said that Iran will not negotiate about their nuclear rights but is prepared, “within a defined just framework and without any discrimination, to hold a dialogue.”

Bush has responded, “We'll see whether or not that is the firm position of their government… If they continue their abstinence, if they continue to say to the world ‘We really don't care what your opinion is,' then the world is going to act in concert."

(Abstinence? As in, abstaining from doing exactly what we want? Surely, he meant obstinacy.)
