ATTEMPTING TO DEAL WITH THE DEVIL!





The United States, the UN and the Group of Six have repeatedly enacted articles of embargo against Iran for failing to halt their development of nuclear weapons.

The international community is hoping that new sanctions on Iran will turn the country away from its nuclear program. An economic embargo is, perhaps, the last chance for peace. But can it work?
"On the one hand, formulaic diplomacy is being strictly adhered to. His Excellency, the High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy of the European Union, Dr. Javier Solana, recently presented to his Iranian counterpart, Manucher Mottaki, the latest offer from the so-called group of six nations, consisting of the three European powers Great Britain, France and Germany, as well as China, Russia and the United States. The goal is international cooperation in determining the true purpose of Iran's nuclear program".source: Der Spiegel

United States has maintained a trade embargo on Iran since 1979, and the United Nations Security Council, at the instigation of the group of six, has imposed further economic sanctions three times. Only last week, the Europeans froze Iranian assets and imposed travel prohibitions on Iranian politicians,scientist and military officials.

I believe, the World has two choices to affect the cessation of Iran's quest to become a member of the nuclear bomb "coterie". The apparent preference of the majority of the countries involved in the attempt to halt Iran's resoluteness to develop a bomb to annihilate Israel and any European country they choose, is diplomacy and embargoes.

There are many of us who believe talking in convincing and persuasive terms to the devil, is an exercise in mutual masturbation. It makes us feel good, but the results are non-productive. Changing the mind of a zealot is impossible! Despite this the International community is still talking to Iran!

I believe that unless we destroy the Iranian capacity to produce nukes, they will develop and use nuclear weapons as surely as President Truman did against Japan!

The Iranian leadership has made it clear that they intend to destroy "the great Satan", the United States and Israel. There can be no doubt that the mind set of the Iranians is the devastation of what they consider is the epitome of evil sooner or later.
And from the news we received from Kuwait recently, they are stepping up production not halting it despite all the embargoes enacted.

The reason the embargoes have little chance of working is money! German and Russian companies are still selling infra-structure materials for hundreds of millions of dollars with the "blessing" of their governments, despite the fact that they have signed agreements embargoing Iran.
Banks are also complicit in this subterfuge of the embargo as the following quotes will show.

The assets of Bank Melli Iran were frozen as a result of the EU sanctions imposed on Iran. This should have put an end to their business dealings with Iran."

"Contracts in Iran represent a very significant part of some German business, partly because of the Nabucco pipeline, which is being built to supply Iranian natural gas to Europe beginning in 2013 and make the continent less dependent on Russian gas. "The restriction imposed on Bank Melli forces them to create jobs in Dubai or Kuwait, and then deliver their products to Iran through those countries,".
Not unlike off shore banking for drug lords!

Bank Melli Iran, which is fully owned by the Iranian government, is the country's largest commercial bank, with about 45,000 employees and 3,000 branches worldwide, and total assets of €38 billion ($59 billion US).
The bank handles transactions for much of the overall German trade with Iran. Despite the restrictions in Germany, however, the bank is not yet completely out of the picture. Bank Melli's Moscow branch continues to process transactions, including, as is rumored, those originating in Germany. Melli also has seven branches in the United Arab Emirates, the most popular alternative gateway for international business with Iran.
As recently as 2006 Germany, with exports worth $5.2 billion (€3.35 billion), was one of Iran's key trading partners. But the pressure exerted by the United States had already begun to take effect in recent years. In 2007, German exports to Iran declined to $5.0 billion. This illustrates that greed and the quest for money trumps agreements between nations". Source: Der Spiegel

For this and many other reasons, I say to all of you who are concerned about the opinion of the USA by Europeans, is a joke. They are too absorbed in self to give a damn about us until they want something, or need help to ward off enemy threats.
Germany is a perfect example of national betrayal to a fiend(USA).

We have maintained bases that spent millions of dollars in the German economy for over 60 years. The military was left there to protect them from the Communist USSR after the Berlin airlift saved them from starvation. We could pull out our military and leave their effete military to shift for itself, but as an ally we maintain a military presence to keep Europe safe from the Russian Bear who is once again beginning to flex it's muscles.

In a show of appreciation they have sent 1000 troops to North Afghanistan , not to fight the Taliban, but to build superstructures! They have been given orders not to engage in combat unless they are attacked! This while our men and women are putting their lives on the line where the battle rages!

It is time for all Americans to realize that we stand alone as the Worlds super power and bastion of freedom, and quit trying to make deals with the Devil!

john boland Email: I was in the eighth grade during the Carter Administration when the hostage situation captivated the American Public. My attitude towards Iran was formulated at that time and has never waivered. I don't know how any logical half assed educated American can even attempt to trust what these fanatical cancers of society say, report, or confirm. They don't give one good Rosy God D#$% about playing by the rules, what Americans think, are willing to die and kill on a massive scale for victory of their violent religion, and cannot, it seems to be, negationated with. Sometimes in a persons life, you have to throw political correctness, fairness and patience out the window in order to survive. With articles such as this, I am beginning to think Iran has crossed the line of depature and will not turn back. America cannot at this point survive any sort of a nuclear strike. Our nerves were shot after 9-11 and Katrina. A nuclear attack killing thousands upon thousnads would be the catalyst for America's nervous breakdown. I hope somewhere down the line, our leaders will finally realize this, reach down and grab a pair, and act before it is too late. I would like to live to go to another college football game, attend the Masters Golf Tournament again, swim in the ocean, see my parents grow and age into their golden years, and last but not least fight giant crowds at the mall during Christmas.
