US-Iran positive blaming

Link from the BBC
Well, this is supposed to be so significant that US and Iran are talking! But is it so? They did so much yoohoo and woohoo about this talks to finally sit face to face and do this:

US: Stable Iraq is our interest
Iran: Stable Iraq is our very interest
US: We warn you...you are sending arms, you are making Iraq unstable
Iran: We warn you...get out of here..you are making Iraq unstable

after the meeting:

US: we are positive for future
Iran: There was a positive fruit in the talks

They probably had a chit chat. US is upset but as always, says there is a positive future (means current sucks) and by the way, what is "a positive fruit"?

I think a positive fruit may be a banana, which is also shaped like a boomerang. ;-)

Really, the two sides were just putting their positions on the record. There was no intention to negotiate.

I supose iranian spokespoerson studied in czech rep. In our language it means "thinks are going really great during the negotiations" ... but directly translated in english it sounds really funny ...

Did you know that there are close to 55 million young Iranians under 30? Did you also know that IF WE ALL rebelled against being under Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's tyranny that we could start our own liberation and democracy of freedom for all of us and it would be a "new age movement" for all of our brother Muslims to join? Would this not be a good thing to do in the intrest of our own lives here in Iran? A.M.
Just read this news article below:
The most talked about confrontation in Tehran these days began normally enough. A young woman walking down the street with a headscarf (sliding a little too far down?) hiding only half her hair was accosted by the morality police, called a slut and told to cover up.
The incident became interesting when the girl responded with a Bruce Lee-like whoop and aimed a kick at her tormentor’s midsection. The girl knew martial arts, as she convincingly demonstrated to the approving cheers of the crowd that gathered around her to watch the whupping.
What made it famous? Someone recorded it on a cell phone. Within hours, it was local legend.
Islamic rule in Iran has withstood 28 years of Western outrage, economic boycotts and careful disdain by Iranians who long for more personal freedom. But the regime might not survive the cell phone, which Iranians are turning from a means of communication into a means — for symmetry? — of political protest.
Nearly every young Iranian — in a land where 70 percent of the population of 73 million is under 30 — owns a mobile phone. And every day tens of millions use them to send text messages, pictures and videos to their friends.
"No one uses a landline anymore," says Mossegh, a 20-something clothing salesman. "First of all, most of them don’t work. And anyway, I communicate with my friends by SMS, not calls. Calling just isn’t cool."
Iranians belong to a chain mail of jokes about President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, whose irregular hygiene habits are the stuff of endless banter. "I walked in the ocean with just my socks on," begins one joke making the rounds. "Now our talented Iranian scientists are figuring out how to replace all the water."
