China urges positive response to Iran nuclear offer

[cal04]

China urged Iran on Wednesday to respond positively to a package of incentives and penalties aimed at persuading it to give up uranium enrichment and defuse a showdown with Washington and its allies.

Pressure is growing on Tehran to reply to the big-power offer, originally drawn up by Britain, France and Germany - known as the EU-3. That package has also been endorsed by the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, including China.

Since it was presented with the set of possible concessions, Iran has insisted on its right to enrich uranium, but has not rejected the deal outright.

"The EU-3 have come up with a new package regarding the Iran nuclear issue. They have briefed Iran on it, and Iran is looking at it very seriously," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao told reporters at in Shanghai.

1. **PETITION AGAINST MILITARY ACTION AGAINST IRAN**

It is with grave concern that I observe the growing threat of a new U.S. war--this time against the people of Iran.

For a collection of articles and resources on this subject you can visit this link: http://reseaudesign.com/research/iran/iran_summery.html

I'm starting up a petition which I will be sending out to as many members of Congress as possible. I'm asking for help to get this signed by as many people, possible in the next month. Send it to as many people you can.
