"There was not shouting, table pounding or histrionics," said Daniel Fried, the top American diplomat for Europe. But neither Rice nor Lavrov were able to agree on anything beyond gen­ eral statements of support for the Iran and North Korea efforts. "This was a polite, thorough exchange of views where the disagreements were quite clear," Fried told reporters. Rice out­ lined the U.S: position on Russia's war with Georgia while Lavrov repeated Moscow's defense of its military action, he said. Fried said the United States was unconvinced by Lavrov's arguments and that problems Russia is facing because of its invasion of Georgia "cannot just be wished away." Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Lavrov said it was not "rocky," adding that both sides had agreed to be pragmatic regarding issues that divided them, such as the brief conflict over Georgia in August. "We agreed that we must not make this situation a rock on which everything else would hit," Lavrov told an audience at the Council on Foreign relations. While Rice did not expect to sway Lavrov on Georgia, she was seeking Russia's support on Iran and North Korea less than a week after she raised the stakes by publicly denouncing Russia's growing authoritarianism and aggression. With Iran nearing the ability to arm a nuclear warhead and North Korea moving to restart a disabled atomic reactor. the United States needs Russia more than ever in the international efforts to eliminate the threats. But Russia on Tuesday scuttled high-level talks on imposing new sanctions on Iran that had been set for Thursday between the foreign ministers of the five per­ manent members of the U.N. Security Council and Germany. Even sanctions opponent China #.A KELLOGG had agreed to the meeting. VI INSTITUTE U.S. officials, including Rice, have sought to downplay the move, saying the time wasn't right for the session. But they had previously said such a gath­ ering would be useful and neces­ sary to get fourth U.N. Security Council sanctions resolution on Iran. At their meeting, Rice and Lavrov "agreed that there would come a time for another P5-plus­ one foreign ministers meeting" but did not say when that might be, according to Fried who used the formal name lor tiie grouP- THE OBSERVER page 12 IEWPOINT Thursday, September 25, 2008 THE OBSERVER It ain't easy being green P.O. !lox 779.
