The U.S,Iran and Iraq!

This is indeed a quixotic situation of sorts for the Untied states, to be talking Iraq to Iran. Iran is slowly but surely increasing its influence in Iraq and there does not seem to be much that the United states can do about it. The United states realise that in order to have a stable Iraq, Iran's inputs does not only become necessary but all too essential. With the violence in Iraq having come down a notch, the government of Iraq as well as the security forces are looking for ways to press ahead their advantage and see if they can bring about a stable Iraq sooner than later. But with both the United states and Iran suffering from a trust deficit, it is only a matter of days before this latest round of talks fail as well. But that does not mean the end of the road, the journey for the Untied states-iran convoy has just began and it is a very rocky road, but there is so many miles to cover, can they overcome their hostilities and carry on?

Russia and China block the Iran sanctions!

This is not exactly a surprising news, is it? Both Russia and China have enormous economic capital invested in Tehran and they know that if the U.N were to apply any economic sanction of any kind on Iran, they both face huge losses as well as the loss of lucrative oil contracts.
This does bring into the question of the 'Multi polar' world versus that of the 'Unipolar' one. Is the United states right in waging an economic war on a single country and expecting all the other nations to follow its lead? Many people may have something very strong kin nature to say to the United states, especially with the way that its foreign policies are being run. The way it is going, it is only a matter of time before the United states sees that it has no friends whatsoever in the International community. Both Russia and China are totally against the imperialistic attitude of the United states. What is more they both together with India are trying to fashion up a multi polar world, one that does heed to the rules of the book. Where the Unites states is concerned, it has long since thrown the book out of the window along with Jimmy carter. The United states has made it clear that it has no intention of being a 'hall monitor' but instead plans to be the bully. And do you want to take an educated guess who is in its headlights, Iran, right in the center of this storm that is yet to blow!

Iran and the United states!

The tango between the United states and Iran has been nothing but bitter all the way. It sounds bitter even to us who just get to hear a watered down version in the news so can you imagine the actual bitterness that is present in the Iran-United states relations. It seems that they must have caught the India-Pakistan bug. The relations between the two Asian neighbours was so bitter at one time that it would have given the word 'bitter' take a closer look at itself. But they have since then progressed to toleration to acceptance and now to friendship. The road to peace is never smooth and one can always count on it to be rocky at the least. Both the United states and Iran should take a leaf out of the India-Pakistan relations and learn from it.
If I were to take a guess, I would say that the bitterness with Iran started with the Iranian revolution and the hostage crisis. Since then, relations between the two have taken quite a beating. The Americans in general have a very warped vision of Iran, not surprising considering that most of the Americans think that Cuba is only good for cigars. The relations between India and Pakistan , although bitter to start off with, has normalised as a result of the shared heritage between them. No matter that they have come to blows in the past or may do so in the future, but this shared heritage that has bonded them is here to stay. So they both have very wisely decided to build on that, both literally and figuratively.
Where as the Americans and the Iranians do not have much of a shared heritage to build upon and what is more they do not consider one other as humans so the question of bonds and heritage is kind of moot here. Recently the Stanford university had invited president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as the guest speaker only to insult him publicly which says volumes about American manners. It is no wonder that the Europeans and the rest of the world do not think much of the American manners,to invite a foreign dignitary and to insult him like that is unheard of in almost all countries all over the world except for the Untied states. Either way whether they choose to improve their manners or not, the Untied states needs to resolve its issues with Iran in a peaceful and Democratic manner. That is the way of the world and we most certainly do not need another war!
