Wednesday's Daily Briefing on Iran

DoctorZin reports, 3.23.2005:

Has Europe agreed to support real democracy in Iran, if the negotiations fail?

The Voice of America quoted US National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley as saying the Europeans and the U.S. now agree on an agenda for Iran:

"Which is not only dealing with the nuclear issue, but also dealing with Iranian sponsorship for terror, obstruction of the Middle East peace process, and also failure to give freedom and democracy to their people."

White House National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley says that the United States believes that "the cause of freedom for the Iranian people has been advanced by the understandings we've reached with the Europeans."

Let's hope this is true.
