http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/01/04/us-iran-idUSTRE8031DI20120104 Uh oh? How much is this program really worth to the Iranians. Their currency is being trashed and inflation is skyrocketing. The elections in the future should be interesting. Will the people choose nuclear weapons or economic security? Will it even matter...as we know alot of these elections are predetermined anyway.
I'm sure that Iranians won't be checking the boxes for either ' nuclear weapons ' nor ' economic security ' on their ' Relevant-printed ' ballot papers. You do well to note that Iran does hold elections though, ' Relevant ' although I'm not sure you can reconcile your twin assertions that Iranians have ' a choice' and that their elections are simultaneously ' fixed '. I suppose we'll have to wait for the next Hasbara issue.
I generally do not support the use of sanctions as they do greater harm to the ordinary citizens of a country than to the leadership itself (Iraq, North Korea). Having said that, I wonder if China or India will fill in the market void. http://www.washingtonpost.com/world...-with-tehran/2012/01/04/gIQAR4E2ZP_story.html
I predict the embargo on Iranian oil by the EU will work almost as well as the Oil-for-Food program worked in Iraq in the 1990s under UN auspices.
Looks like Japan and South Korea wont be joining Clintons embargo either. Shes on her own by the looks of it. and they still have no evidence of any weapons of MD just like Iraq
There are none. It's the same invented casus belli that the neoZionists offered the US of AIPAC before its Iraq debacle- which continues today even while Israel pushes for yet another one.
YES!!!! This is good news. Great to hear that the EU is on board, and I'm sure others will jump on board too. This is going to be a major hit to Iran and may it extremely suffocate them into learning how to follow rules. The nations of the world are being very generous with giving Iran many chances. Hopefully Iran will do the right thing, which is what they are told to do, and start behaving.
Your breed seems to need their hand held a lot. Reread what it said: "embargo on Iranian oil could be postponed". It doesn't say it will be postponed. What's it like to know that the people you support will be starving to death and having their economy crumble while you sit like an armchair warrior in some comfy country? I'll be laughing at them and you. How about you?
Exactly WHICH rules do you KNOW them not to be following? Can you show us? For instance, go to the November 2011 IAEA and show us which 'rules' Iran broke. And please don't bother to point to the UN resolutions, because I will just ask you which broken rules those were based on.
By the same token, the report doesn't say that there is a ban- Now then, what's this about a ' breed ' in your mumblings .
That would be unnecessarily silly, wouldn't it, as the Israelis now state that Iran doesn't have a bomb program; http://www.politicalforum.com/latest-world-news/227903-israel-iran-has-no-bomb-program.html
Iran is asking for a war...closing the straights of Hormuz and all the saber rattling of Amenajaid. I say, let's give em exactly what they are asking for, BEFORE they get nukes.
Man Obama has been the toughest president on Iran, rallying the EU and Russia like that. whats the deal with that?
