Poll question: Would this be a good way of restarting relations with Iran?
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Mohammad Ali Hosseini called for the formation of a committee to investigate how the government of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein gained access to chemical weapons.

Tens of thousands of Iranians were killed and wounded by chemical weapons during the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war. Around 100,000 Iranians are still living with the effects, which include long-term respiratory problems, eye and skin problems as well as immune system disorders, psychological disorders, genetic disorders, and probably cancers, according to niablog.wordpress.com.

According to Tehran Times, Hosseini criticized the international community for their near-total silence and indifference at the time of Saddam's criminal use of chemical weapons against Iran and called for the formation of a committee to investigate how Saddam's Baathist regime gained access to the weapons and to determine how to obtain reparations for the victims.

Where is the US on this?

Should President-Elect Obama pledge his support to the Iranian victims of Saddam's chemical weapons and support any investigations into these atrocities?

1. If we want to "restart relations" with Iran, maybe we should send flowers?

2. I think we should do whatever it is to get all the shit out in the open for all to see
If we as a people hope to go into the future in a peaceful manner we must air the laundry, shitstains and all. IMO
