WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States said on Saturday after inconclusive international talks with Iran's nuclear envoy that Tehran must choose between cooperation or confrontation and give up sensitive nuclear work.

"We hope the Iranian people understand that their leaders need to make a choice between cooperation, which would bring benefits to all, and confrontation, which can only lead to further isolation," said State Department spokesman Sean McCormack after the Geneva talks attended for the first time by senior U.S. diplomat William Burns.

He said Burns did not meet separately with any member of the Iranian delegation and that EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana told Iran it must give a "clear answer" to an offer made by world powers within two weeks.

Right. I believe this is the so-called diplomacy before the "diplomacy has failed" stage of neocon propaganda.

The media never ask the real question: Why SHOULDN'T Iran develop nuclear power or warheads or whatever? Why is it okay for America to 12,000 nukes, but Iran can't have one? Why is self-determination and self-defense so essential for Western nations, but Iran must ask permission to defend itself?
