A meeting of minds between Iran’s Muslim theocrats and Western governments remains no less elusive. But in Teheran, foreign diplomats saw President Hashemi Rafsanjani’s appeal for international relief as a sign Iran wants to end its international isolation. When one Teheran paper published an article declaring that “even under the debris, our nation cries out ‘Death to America’,” Rafsanjani reportedly told the editors to shut up. He also lauded foreign aid as “very reasonable and just”–including $760,000 from the U....
