During the past 50 years the United States of America never adopted a pragmatic policy in respect of Iran.

The U.S. administration always tried to exploit the Iranians and their natural resources for their own interest.

After the culmination of the Islamic Revolution in 1979, the United States official policy kept the interest of the Zionist entity on top of its agenda for the Middle East.

The pro-Zionists U.S. administration imposed sanctions and embargoes on Iran just because Tehran follows an independent policy and never ignored its national interest for the sake of hegemonic policy of the United States.

So far whatever steps U.S. has taken against the Islamic Republic affected America more adversely. Today the Islamic Republic of Iran has no shortage of political and economic friends in the East or the West.

So much so, the U.S. oil giants and other business leaders have complained repeatedly to their administration that not Iran, but they (U.S. companies) are losing through irrational embargoes and sanctions....' George W. Bush just after his victory as the President of the United States promised that his administration would adopt a pragmatist policy toward Iran.

But so far no change in the official policy of his administration toward other countries is visible no matter whether it is China, Iran or other countries that have been a target of irrational political domination.

On Thursday, U.S. Secretary of State former general Colin Powell talking about Iran said, "When they show that engagement makes sense," talks can start with Tehran.

If former general Powell by makes sense' means that Iran will obey to the U.S. irrational and illogical directives or will sacrifice national interest for that country as the Shah's regime used to do, then he is totally wrong.

Except Israel, Iran's doors are open for all on one condition that bilateral relations must be based on mutual interest and respect.

Otherwise, there is no question of having relations with any country - the U.S. or others. For Iran national interest is more important than simply business and it will never sacrifice it.

Whatever Powell said it is nothing but the fact that he has so far failed to understand the realities of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
