What Is Going On In Iran

by J John Swanko

Not a day goes by without Iran getting into trouble. Iran should understand the United States will stand with our allies. Saudi Arabia is an ally, so is Israel. Both can defend themselves well. Please.

Iran, You need to make a real peace with the Saudis. It would also be a good idea to make peace with Israel. You have to make peace with your own people. Your people are your greatest asset.

This is how things should be going. You show the world: all you are doing is making medicine. You tell the negotiators you can finish that antique reactor yourself, however, If -say- someone would rather Iran not finish it, then you would be willing to let... Oh and You need a shiny new oil refinery. You want to be seen as helping the region. That may mean providing discount oil. It may mean providing training.

One example: A Russian car maker has lots of surplus capacity. Pakistan has lots of surplus engineers, people needing cars. Put your talents and money to work jointly, retrofitting part of that idle car factory line to make electric cars. Keep everything simple.

Notes:

Some argue, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's repeated calls for the destruction of the Jewish state as a clear sign that Iranian nuclear weapons, if they are made, would threaten the country's existence.

Some see Iran’s Foreign Minister Mottaki's call on regional states not to interfere in Yemen, as an attempt by Iran to overthrow the Saudis. His denial, Tehran is not supporting Shiite rebels there -As hollow.

Here in the States, many see Iran as helping the Taliban.

There are many problems in Iran, becoming a warlord state is not one of them.
