The Russians Don't Want To Call Iran A Threat By Thomas Joscelyn The NY Times reports on the Russo-American divide over Iran and includes this quote from an unnamed "Western diplomat": <<< A Western diplomat, referring to the Security Council discussions on Iran, and speaking on condition of anonymity because the negotiations are confidential, said: "The Russians are worried that if you label Iran a threat to international peace, it's the beginning of a process. If there is going to be a solution, it will have to be negotiated by Lavrov and Rice." >>> Now, how confident can we be that the talks with Russia are going to be productive if they are "worried" about calling "Iran a threat to international peace"? The Iranians know who butters their bread: <<< "The Iranian papers are bursting with stories about how China and Russia are not caving to the American pressure to punish Iran," Mr. Milani [director of Iranian studies at Stanford University] said. "It's clear that they are trying to portray this as a victory for Iranian diplomacy, which has gotten Russia and China not to cave in to U.S. pressure." >>> thomasjoscelyn.blogspot.com nytimes.com
