And I'll admit that I was surprised. So were most other MB-watchers I follow. That's in large part because it contradicts what I h

They mark a dignified process for making concessions, much like the formula that President Obama used in his January 2009 inaugural address when he first signaled his outreach to Iran: "We seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mu
