For all his talking of "Global Testing," Kerry may have stepped into it with many countries with his stance on Iran.
Offering to give the Iranian hardliners nuclear fuel in exchange for a promise to drop their enrichment program, has raised eyebrows around the world.
Sen. John Kerry's call for providing Iran with the nuclear fuel it seeks, even while the regime is believed to be only months away from developing nuclear weapons, is being linked to his campaign contributions from backers of the mullah government in Tehran.
Among Kerry's top fund-raisers are three Iranian-Americans who have been pushing for dramatic changes in U.S. policy toward the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Those positions include:
..ending the fingerprinting of Iranian visitors to the U.S.;
..expanding "family reunion" visas to allow extended family members of Iranians living in the U.S. to immigrate here legally and in large numbers;
..offering a "dialogue" with the hard-line, terrorist-supporting clerics in Tehran;
..help Iran join the World Trade Organization.

Is this why Kerry calls for bi-lateral talks with everyone else while uni-lateral talks with Iran?
Iran's response...
Foreign ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi said it would be "irrational" for Iran to put its nuclear programme in jeopardy by relying on supplies from abroad.
"We have the technology (to make nuclear fuel) and there is no need for us to beg from others," Asefi told a weekly news conference.
