On Iran...
I few days ago I tired to, unsucessfully, post about the fact that the envoys of major nations cannot agree on what to do about Iran and the nuclear ambitions of that nation's government. Such indecision on the part of the United Nations Security Council cannot help the situation, yet the question arises "can anything really be done?".
Such a question comes to the surface because of the nations of Russia and China. With both these nations vetoing any resolution that has any sort of "teeth" in dealing with Iran, nothing is happening - just as Secretary Rice has announced yet another delay in deciding what to do. In waiting, the EU will resume a diplomatic attempt at resolution - a path that has been walked before and begat nothing worthwhile.
Meanwhile, Iran gets what Iran wants - time to continue to enrich and reseach bomb creation. In all honesty, Iran is playing the game excellently, using proxy's to tie the hands of the world's nations, so that nothing is really accomplished.
Earlier this week, Iran's President sent to President Bush a letter, calling for him to return to Christianity. This from a man who has no true and right view on the world, only his thoughts that are shewed by his apocolyptic vision of greatness at the hands of the 12th Imam; the letter was rejected out of hand. Why would such a move be taken on the part of the rouge government? The answer is simple - to show to the people of Iran that "it's their (the USA's) fault things aren't working, we tried, and failed". A way to wash their hands of blame - it is a clever move in this international chess match, one with everlasting and dastardly impications.
I always go back to the words of Fmr. PM of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu - who said that in Middle East culture, what is respected in such situations is shows of force, not appeasement and in-action.
Never forget that Iran has a plan and a possible program to see it through
The world has a choice to make, a hard one
The board is not quite set, but when it is, the pieces will move...
