Wishful thinking: White House adviser: World has united against Iran

So here is another of those American oddities…

WASHINGTON (AP) – A top White House adviser says the U.S. is making progress in its efforts to find allies to hold the line on Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

David Axelrod tells CNN’s “State of the Union” that at the start of the Obama administration, Iran was united while the world was divided on how best to deal with Iran.

Axelrod says the situation is now reversed – the world is coming together while Iran itself is divided.

He says he’s pleased with the cooperation that the Russians have offered and believes Moscow will support fresh penalties against Tehran.

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev (dih-MEE’-tree med-VYEH’-dyev) said Saturday that punishing Iran even more because of its nuclear program is not the best option, but added that such a step can’t be excluded.

Top adviser Valerie Jarrett says on ABC’s “This Week” that a “strong world coalition” is coming together that will cause Iran to back down.

A “strong world coalition”, is it?

Sorry to ruin the party, but this goes contrary to the a series of news earlier that…

PARIS — Russian President Dmitry Medvedev says his country is ready to consider new sanctions against Iran over its nuclear program. The Russian leader told reporters Monday at the start of a state visit to France that it would be “desirable” to avoid sanctions — and insisted that any should not harm the Iranian population.

Amid threats of an Israeli attack against Iran, Brazil’s president said Friday he has planned a visit to the country to prevent a “mistake” that was the prelude to the invasion of Iraq. “I am going there because I do not want the mistake that was made in Iraq to be repeated in Iran,” President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said, in comments reproduced by the state news agency ABR, DPA reported.

Latest: As President Bush took a question Thursday in the White House Rose Garden about scandals involving his Attorney General, he remarked, “I’ve got confidence in Al Gonzales doin’ the job.” Simultaneously, a sparrow flew overhead and left a splash on the President’s sleeve, which Bush tried several times to wipe off.

Birds are giving Bush a piece of their mind, precision targeting by the sparrow though. Will we have war on bird now?

It is interesting that how one ‘crazy’ person can turn the world into his own battlefield. Presently, “war games” are being conducted right outside Iran’s territorial waters. The reason is same, “to pressurize Iran to quit its pursuit of of Nuclear Enrichment (which will be done to make WMDs)”.

However, is the stance justified? Five states are recognized in the NPT as Nuclear Weapons States; USA, UK, China, Russia and France. The reason why “only” these powers were granted the “holy” right to hold nuclear weapons remains a mystery.

The double-standards by US itself in using the NPT to its advantage are evident. The five NWS agree not to transfer nuclear technology to Non-nuclear states for military use. However, peaceful use is allowed.

This is why the recent US-India nuclear energy deal has come under (legal) controversy as it threatens to undermine the global nuclear non-proliferation regime exploiting the loophole granted by the nature of dual-use technology, as has the Russia-Iran uranium deal.

Yet again the world falls prey to the hypocrisy of the powerful.
