Foreign policy: Iraq, Iran and Israel

Posted by CD | Posted in International Politics, Iraq | Posted on 01-05-2007 | 2 Comments »

Before the U.S. led invasion of Iraq, Iraq was certainly not a safe haven for terrorist.  As we start 2007 it has just become that.  World leaders are recognizing this too.  In a Near Year’s address to the diplomatic corp, French President Chirac stated that “It (Iraq) offered terrorism a new field for expansion.”  The war has “undermined the stability of the entire region, where every country now fears for its security and its independence.”

Yes, one only needs to look at Iran as it is feeling the pressure of the U.S. partly due to the U.S. being a puppy to the Israelis’ who fear Iran more than the U.S.  It is understated how much of an influence the Israeli government has on foreign affairs.  The U.S. often dictates foreign policy for other countries (i.e. U.K.) but the U.S. as a “strong nation” is often not thought of as bowing down to other nations.  The Israeli government plays a fundamental reason why the U.S. is putting pressure on Iran. Future post will go into detail to discuss Israeli-U.S. relations.

Waiting for that article detailing Israeli-U.S. relations.

If only the entire world were putting pressure on Iran. If anyone does attack Iran, many of your fellow Muslims (oh wait, maybe you consider them infidels too) won’t be complaining.

Thanks for your comment. Where should I start? First, you said “fellow Muslims” sorry to burst your bubble but I am not Muslim. Care to take another guess at my ethnicity or religion? Secondly, the entire world is speaking against the actions of Iran and if you do some research and read UNSC1737 you will see that. For countries like Russia and China that have such and economical impact in Iran they have certainly made a strong statement by UNSC1737. Thirdly, if you do some more digging, you will find that the IAEA documents on Iran state that have no evidence that Iran is trying to make a nuclear weapon out of their civilian nuclear capabilities.
