The BBC reports that Iran will give inspectors access to records and equipment from two of its nuclear sites, according to the head of the the IAEA, the UN's atomic agency. This is a beginning, and a hopeful one. With our armed forces in desperate shape in Iraq, the utter stupidity of attacking Iran seems to have finally penetrated the saner heads in the Whitehouse. The result of the elections undoubtedly helped, too. There is no solution to the Iraqi mess without Iran's cooperation, so we had better get on with it.

It's hard not to be a little smug when this blog predicted precisely what is now happening.
