Iranian Diplomacy Spoken In the Forrest

But will anyone hear?

From the NYT:

Iranian nuclear negotiators will offer a new proposal on Tuesday that is intended to persuade world powers that the country’s nuclear program has only peaceful aims, a top official said on Sunday.

On another day this would be exploding across the news boards, or so I would have thought.  The Washington Post had an Op-Ed below the front page.  CNN still doesn't have it.  Fox News puts it in fourth place in the world section, which is not exactly the most prominent focus of their website.  

Is this because of the (admittedly epic) drama going on in Washington, or an instance of "war sells" syndrome, i.e. we may avoid a stupid war, and this is not that important?

And if the West can broker a deal to relieve tensions, this may put a feather in the cap of the sanctions-as-diplomacy folks.  A big, shiny feather.
