France, Britain, and Germany may talk to Iran sans U.S.

good... maybe having the u.s. sit out would mean some progress would actually be possible...

France, Britain and Germany would be willing to begin talks with Iran even if it has not suspended its nuclear enrichment programme first, but Washington would not take part, a German magazine reported on Saturday.

[...]

The United States would not join in any talks with Iran until a full enrichment suspension was in place, the paper said.

[...]

The new plan was discussed at a meeting of senior officials of the six countries and the EU in New York on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly, Der Spiegel said.

U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice voiced no direct approval to this strategy but signalled she could tolerate it, the magazine reported.

just make sure not to let bolton know where the meeting is taking place...
