The Iran Issue: Russia, China, Saddam Hussein Revisited, Genocide Revisited……


“What the proposal provides is a useful guide to the Islamic Republic’s psychology and preoccupations, which find echo elsewhere. When Iran calls for “multilateralism” and “progress free from double standards for all nations,” it reflects thinking in Moscow and Beijing, one reason why ever getting Russia and China behind meaningful sanctions against Iran is a pipe dream: more on that later......

“There are nuggets here, too. Iran’s deep sense of past injustice is evident in repeated use of words like “equitable.” It’s worth recalling that the stop-go Iranian nuclear program began in the 1980s, when Iran was being gassed by Iraq, whose chemical arsenal owed much to Europe and the United States. Such truths are no less true for being unpalatable......” Roger Cohen (N Y Times)
