Our Friends
Just listened to a news report on the nuclear crises thats building in Iran. Seems that we (United States) are a bit concerned about the Iranians reopening their construction of a nuclear power plant that will provide them with their energy needs. It will also provide them with material for nuclear weapons. I had to sit and ask myself what the Iranians were trying to accomplish here, energy or weapons? Iran sits on some pretty significant oil reserves so I don't think a Nuc power plant is going to improve their energy situation but given their past tendencies for fighting I would think that might be the way they are moving.
Think about the hostage crises, then the Iran/Iraq war and their continued support of terrorist of any kind, especially when the terrorist is anti west and you can see a trend of aggression. The blind could see what is going on over there, so why can't our so called friends?
Once again the US is trying to figure out what to do with the situation and just like the Iraq problem we have to go to the UN Security Council. So whats the problem you ask? Well the French have already said they would not support economic sanction as have the Germans. Why not you ask? The French and the Germans have significant investments in Iran. If economic sanctions are imposed theywould loose a lot of money. Does this sound familiar? The Russians and the Chinese have said they would not support sanctions of any kind. Why not you ask? The Russians and the Chinese are one of the largest consumers of Iranian oil. If the Iranians are hit with an imbargo of any kind, there goes the oil.
So what do we do? Thats a good question and I am going to watch with interest and Secretary Rice does her thing, I have always been impressed with her.
But doesn't it just burn you how our so called friends are acting about it. Don't they realize that the Iranians do not have a delivery system to get close to the US? But the Iranians do have delivery systems to get to France, Germany, Russia and China. These are the same friends that would not support us in the attack of Iraq, these are the samefirends we found getting kick backs from the oil for food scandel. Not much of friends are they?
How soon we forget. When it happened the first time every one stopped buying French wines and German beer. Last month over Christmas ( I do use that word and proudly), I was at a party and they had French wine and German beer. I asked why they were not boycotting those products and the host, retired Navy, replied that it had been a long time since the invasion and that they had learned their lesson.
I say as long as one US soldier/sailor/airman is in Iraq we boycott. Do not forget whos troops are not supporting the US and who at every opportunity is trying to cause hate and disconsent in that region.
DO NOT FORGET!!!! DO NOT BUY FRENCH/GERMAN/RUSSIAN/CHINESE PRODUCTS!!!Until thay act as friends they will not be treated as a friend.
