I think the USA is too proud to accept help, especially from Iran.

Which is a shame really.

I doubt the US will accept help from Iran publically, but they might take thier ideas and put them to use.

Why would Iran want to befriend the western invaders? sounds like a trap to me...

I wish this made Main Stream Media.

Let them try I would say, it will take 3 weeks to drill a new hole for BP, why sit around and wait?

mods asleep? there's another thread on this, we're getting really tired of seeing the same topics - is the search function broken?

So, Iran wants to help.

That is a first. And do not trust it.

Iran is a country which has murdered its own and always puts women down.

Do not trust a lying helping hand.

I do believe Iran is truly reaching out, of course its all politics so they will try and make themselves look better by doing this. I think it is in the best interest of America and let me tell you why.

If America does accept this generous offer, it would mean that Iran would begin to have a softer side to America. I know you are probably thinking they will do this so they can become even worse, but trust me that would not be the case.

It would allow for a reluctant friendship. I say reluctant friendship because they won't become friends by doing this but they will begin to listen to each other a little more. Kinda like reaching out a hand and being met with two fingers to grasp.

The US and Iran would have more dialoge while maintaining no relations. Iran would probably not be so boisterous about Israel and nuclear program and the US would not be so eeger for sanctions.

This will also probably call for a little bargaining. Iran tells America they will clean up the oil spill and in return they maybe sign an oil contract or give Iran some kind of perk without it really appearing as a big scene in the world.
