May 29, 2007 (LPAC)--The first meeting between Iran and the US in 27 years occurred in Baghdad Sunday, went for four hours, and was described by the chief US negotiator Ryan Crocker, the current Ambassador to Iraq, as "positive," and "businesslike." At the "level of policy and principle," he said, both countries have the same goal: a stable and viable Iraq. According to a report in STRATFOR, Crocker also indicated the US would be willing to consider the Iranian proposal for the establishment of a regular "trilateral security mechanism" involving Iraq, Iran and the US.

Iranian Ambassador to Iraq Hassan Kazemi Ghomi, speaking to the press after the meeting, said, "We made clear the role of occupiers in Iraq and reminded them their mistakes in running the affairs in Iraq. We also told the Americans explicitly that the problems of Iraqi people will increase if the US continues its occupation of Iraq." He went on: "Our main reason for taking part in the negotiation was supporting the government of Prime Minister al-Maliki in Iraq and we are ready to offer any kind of assistance to the Iraqi Government to increase its ability to run the country."

Regarding US charges of Iranian interference in Iraq, he said: "This is not the first time that Americans raise that accusation and we gave appropriate responses to them in the meeting," reported IRNA. He added that the Iraqi government has proposed further talks, soon.

But Lyndon LaRouche recalled Hitler's negotiations with his neighbors, such as Czechoslovakia and Poland, in 1936-1939 before he invaded,-- with Cheney now playing the part of Hitler. He remembered especially Hitler's famous speech before the Reichstag, when he said repeatedly that he had no problem with Czechoslovakia,-- only with Eduard Benes, its leader.

Hitler's tactic then, like Cheney's today, is, first, drive to the very brink. Then, negotiate, so as to catch the opponent off-guard for when you actually launch the war.
