		<description>Paul,

Didn&#039;t the G-8 issue a statement underlining the desire to achieve a diplomtic resolution of the dispute regarding Iran&#039;s nuclear programme?  The statement said that obtaining sufficient transparency was the essential element.  (Or words to this effect.)</description>

		<description>G-8 comments about Iran underline that Iran has well and truly been thrown under the bus by Russia and China, and can expect to be attacked soon.   Iran needs to recognize that its Chinese sunburn missiles will be useless when the war starts, as China will have given Obama kill signals for those missiles, much as France did to help the US disable Argentinian exocets.

There is going to be an absolute slaughter in Iran, and that is something every human being on earth will have to bear in  our consciences the rest of our lives.  Nearly all of us stood by and let this evil happen.  A country was crushed for no reason other than that it suited the narcissism of the &#039;Great Powers&#039;, led by the Hegemon.</description>

		<description>irshad,

I of course agree with you that Iran and the US are natural allies, and that the impediment is mostly due to Israel.

Russia could not prevent the bombing of Serbia, realistically.  The Russian punishment of Georgian, and its preventing a Georgian military resolution of the separatist problem in South Ossetia, owed a good deal to Russian resentment of the &quot;west&#039;s&quot; prevention of a Serbian military resolution (or attemted resolution) of the separatist problem in its Muslim south.</description>

		<description>Iran and the USA are natural allies and friends. As far as I can see, Irans real historical grievances lay with Britain and Russia. With the USA, if only both sides can sit down and talk, they can find a solution. 

The only stumbling block I see to this is, Israel. Obama and co. must understand that to Iranian leaders, Israel, apart from occupying Arab lands and killing Palestinians, was a major supporter of the Shah and also trained SAVAK. These SAVAK agents in turned tortured current members of the Iranian leadership and killed others who supported Khomeini. This is a very important aspect that the US must understand and realise that its emotionally attached to the psyche of these leaders and families. 
America must take a more critical look at the role of Israel, from its support of te Shah and the Savak, to its treatment of the Palestinians, its relationship with aparthies Africa, its stealing of nuclear materials and subsequent production and storage of nuclear weapons. 

In regards to Russia - they entertain Nato and US when the they both are meeting eye to eye on issues, but when US or Nato do something that Russia deems a antional security issue, they revert back to entertaining the Shaghai Cooperation Organisation - SCO, the CSTO countries, make noises with Iran and Syria, etc. Russia is not an reliable ally - they allowed Serbia to get bombed - which was a fellow Slavic, Orthodox Christian country - so lets forget about Iran.</description>

		<description>Russia has a contradictory approach about Iran and USA. Basically Russia gets its power as the result of these equivocal policies about West and East. This is a fact that Russia pursues its interests and always shows a pragmatic approach in its foreign policy. Furthermore relations between Iran and Russia give rise to diminishing Iran&#039;s relations with USA and west.
As Dr. Kayhan Barzegar said in his recent articles, China and Russia are short-term solutions for Iran. Iran and USA must negotiate directly, and use Russia as the means for advancing their relations, but they don&#039;t let it orient this process.</description>

		<description>DWZ,

Iran&#039;s policy is not to have foreign military bases on Iranian soil.

The chances of Nato taking Ukraine and Georgia into its membership in the next few years is zero.</description>

		<description>DON&#039;T PAY ANY ATTENTION TO RUSSIAN LIES.  All IRANISNS KNOW HOW RUSSIANS PLAY THEIR GAVE AND THEY DON&#039;T GIVE A DAMN TO WHAT RUSSIA SAYS. 

RUSSIA IS STAUNCH ENEMY OF IRAN AND MUST BE TREATED AS SUCH BY THE IRANIAN.  WE ARE WAITING FOR AN OPPORTUNITY TO PUT THE KNIFE ON RUSSIA&#039;S BACK AS THEY DID TO US.  WE NEVER FORGET, EVER FORGIVE OUR ENEMIES.

Russia has robbed Iran but has not delivered yet and is going to continue to play game with Iran and will not going to deliver Bushehr reactor where should have completed 11 years ago.  Russia has no credibility among Iranians.  They have their fucking eyes on Iran&#039;s integrity, like the United States, to establish bases in Iran.

Radzhab Safarov exposed  Russian&#039;s intention clearly when he wrote:

{New allied relations may result in the deployment of at least two military bases in strategic regions of Iran. One military base could be deployed in the north of the country in the Iranian province of Eastern Azerbaijan and the other one in the south, on the Island of Qeshm in the Persian Gulf. Due to the base in Iran&#039;s Eastern Azerbaijan Russia would be able to monitor military activities in the Republic of Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey and share this information with Iran.}

We tell Russians go to hell.  Dr. Ahmadinejad must throw Russians out of Iran NOW not later.</description>
