		It is important that we disabuse ourselves of the notion that dialogue is tantamount to appeasement, or would be "selling out" the Iranian people's aspirations for a more representative government.
		Quite the contrary: opinion polls suggest that upwards of 75 per cent of Iranians want their government to have relations with the U.S. Iranian democratic activists like female former MP Fatemeh Haghighatjou—currently a fellow at MIT—have long argued that a U.S-Iran diplomatic accommodation is crucial for domestic change to take place in Iran.
		Embarking on a comprehensive dialogue with Iran would provide the U.S. with the opportunity to match its rhetorical commitment to Iranian democracy and human rights with action, instead of ineffectively, and at times counterproductively, trying to promote it from afar.
