Iran Security Council

Maybe someone can explain this to me. Yesterday, Clinton suppossedly slammed Obama b/c Obama “naively” answered that he would meet with Syrian leaders within a year of his presidency to work out a peace deal. According to certain newscasters I heard on Fox News, this was the wrong answer b/c other unnamed enemies could use it as “propaganda.”

Yet, I also read today that the US is setting up a security council with Iran.

Maybe I need to go back to foreign relations school, but isn’t Syria only “bad” because Iran is controlling the malfactors associated with the country? Isn’t Iran the “bad guy” in all of this? Talking with Iran is one thing, but setting up a security council with them would suggest to me some amount of trust. Perhaps we do need Iran to move forward and whatever information divulged on this security council is worth the risk to get Iran involved, but then how can Syria be so bad off that even talking to them is not worth the “propaganda” that will come about b/c of it?
