Obama said Wednesday that he would be willing to meet with any leader if he thought it would promote the national security interests of the United States, but he said there is a difference between "meeting without preconditions and meeting without preparations."

Earlier this month, Obama said that he had used "poor phrasing."

When asked by a reporter, Obama clarified his remarks made during a debate last summer that he would be willing to meet with the leaders of Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba and North Korea "without precondition."
The Obama campaign has since added nuance to that position, particularly regarding meeting with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

In Iceland, millions of fat-beaked birds flock to form the world's largest colony of Atlantic puffins.
Sixty percent of the world's population breeds there, where in the 1890s, puffin feathers became fashionable.
Hunters in the Westmann Islands used big nets to catch hundreds of the birds at once.
But just a few years they almost wiped out the entire puffin population.
Since then, using the big nets has been illegal and hunters now go after individual birds with a sort of overgrown lacrosse stick.
Some of those birds end up on dinner plates, and local conservationists are not upset.

The Madness of it all.
