Iran

Russia says: Iran's nuclear bark is worse than its bite, but what is the Security Council supposed to do? Few experts doubt that Iran's uranium-enrichment program would do irreparable damage to the non-proliferation regime. If it goes unpunished, it will encourage other countries to follow suit, especially states on the nuclear threshold such as Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Argentina and Brazil. They are not going to listen to Tehran's assurances on the exclusively peaceful nature of its nuclear program.

But, RUSSIA HOPES, "The Iranians are unable to independently build a fuel cluster for a nuclear plant, which means it cannot produce fuel for such a plant," said representatives of Techsnabexport, Russia's state nuclear materials exporter.

IMO: Yeah, this vain hope reminds us of Soviet propanda exercises, which seemed largely laughable. Marxism failed because of lack of Western support and bad science. Here we have wishful thinking again by Russia.

The new dodgy globalisation policies can't handle Iran. Dominique (in "Market Economies and Natural Laws") for example, gives some of the answers but certainly has not come to grips with it all.

For a short time Ahmadinejad can cover up for his failures in other fields than nukes - lies and minor success only in his societal aspirations even if some of his efforts are praiseworthy - but not for long. He is trying to blackmail the world. Maybe the world in a cowardly way can afford to pay off North Korea. But not Ahmadinejad, his price is too high. Whether he knows it or not, Ahmadinejad is going the way of all greedy blackmailers - he wants too much.

When I was a small child I had a war game called "Catch the Kaiser - strafe him". Well, Kaiser Bill was a bad man and he was indeed strafed. Ahmadinejad may or may not be a bad man but for survival he and his sort should be removed ASAP, by the USA/UK or preferably by the UN, which still commands limited support despite its pusillanimous behaviour. I note the Bushies and ex-Bushies have not yet found enough pleasure and profit in removing Ahmadinejad, but the rest of us need to do something about the situation.

IMO: What Russia can do is to side with the West for once to eliminate the problem. [Someone said: 'Give Ahmadinejad a nice Polonium sushi" - IMO today's world is not quite that simple.]
