Talking to Iran

Lately, it seems that there has been some folks calling for the Bush administration to talk with Iran. I know that during the Petraeus/Crocker hearings several Democrats brought up this point, and that Obama also has this as a central point on how he would conduct foreign policy. While I do agree that normalizing diplomatic relations would probably be a good idea, I do have some qualms. Well, really only one qualm.

Do we really want the Bush Administration of all groups to begin those talks? Is no one concerned about what they might say or how bad they might screw this up? Wouldn't it be better to wait until a more responsible and sober administration took office to begin a major diplomatic initiative?

Like the earlier racism post, maybe I will get back to this later.
