My, haven't things changed

Less than a week after the Democrats won the mid-terms, here we are - the US is now open to talking to Iran. Remember when Iran was the Enemy? Remember when people like me were scared that the US would invade Iran in a bout of imperialist fervour? Well, it seems that those days are over. Now the US seems increasingly willing to ask for Iran's help in dealing with the situation. I wonder how exactly they see this 'help' from the Iranians. A friendly chat between Arab nations? Intelligence? Or perhaps some discreet weapons transports Tehran?

This is starting to sound a tad familiar.

Considering the long-term consequences, I am not sure which option is more dangerous - supporting Iran, or condeming Iran. I hope someone sensible is making these decisions.
