Kerry 'grand summit and global consensus proposal' is based on concept of a 'wrong war,' on that premises what he is going to get out of it will be nothing but disgrace and disrespect for the nation. The reason consensus is missing so far is due to economic meanness and self-survival on parts of the Franco-German alliance, how can they be sincere partners in this global summit?
Trade has dominated European Union policy towards Iraq and Iran.. they find these countries under tyrants as safe haven for their uncompetitive products. Trade and war sanctions had helped European Union giants the most, post-invasion Iraq has come out of the sanction regime, it has opened this closed market to GE's of the World instead of Siemens and Alshtoms only...That was one thing that has hurt EU the most, Iraq under Saddam was mostly a EU export trade dominated country.
I assure you that EU economic interests dictates their foreign policy, it not dictated by any other humans consideration, a free country more often than not tends to gravitate towards competitive and better products i.e. US, tyrants for their own longevity are averse to any considerations other than their own survival, and hence Boskasas of the world and Saddams are more than happy to give contracts as a bribe, the benefactors are your candidate prospective summiteers. It is not a chance that main trading partners of mullah infested Iran is EU.
EU and your candidate prospective summiteers habit to fall on dead prey like vultures where eagles refrain to go is unique, look at this story Iran under sanctions is a great place to trade as far as EU is concerned and hence by eliminating US from the economic competition they make their own survival possible.
It is 'economic interests silly' as we all know, tyrannies flourish under EU benevolent attitude because Iranian mullahs and Baathist tyrants hate US freedom calls, your candidate by innocently putting global alliance philanthropy as the hub of his strategy is falling into the trap set by the giants of EU. ‘Discredit US, get the contracts and let US suffer.’
Losing prospective annually 50 billion US in trade possibilities is what US suffered under Saddam and mullahs, but it was never a consideration to go slow on Saddam or make peace with mullahs who consider US as evil. Kerry wants to ditch this long-standing US policy of putting human beings above economies.
Global consensus is absurd, these were countries backyard of EU how can they loose the momentum to US. Saddam and Iranian mullahs were the biggest backers and buyers of EU products from 1990 and 1977 post revolution respectively.
The only consensus EU will agree is to US to act as a secondary power to the EU in this part of the world, it is the political economic might of US they fear most and the roots of political/economic might are emanating from the unique economic strength of US.
Kerry grandstanding of ‘unknown’ allies that he keeps taking about is the worst deal for US jobs.. GE produces better than anyone else but GE is unable to sell in Iran or Saddam Iraq for years, why? Simply because of the reasons that US refrained from dealings with axis of evil, let me educate you the largest partners of ‘axis of evil and tell Kerry to rethink his summit.. Sell out of US by Kerry will destroy not only US military might but will seriously compromise US grand economic prowess. Chirac and Schroeder are old players they are going for what they want, and ‘Cash and Kerry’ the new kid on the block is playing in their hands..
For $20 billion a year, EU let mullahs of Iran continue human rights abuse
Trade between Iran's mullahs and the European Union reached a record Euro 16.7 billion ($20 bn) last year. EU exports to Iran rose to Euro 9.8 bn from Euro 8 bn in 2002, while imports from the Islamic Republic grew by 23 per cent to Euro 6.9 bn. The increase in Iranian exports was due to a rise of Euro 1.3 bn in oil sales.
Iran's mullahs total trade with the world's largest trading group has more than doubled since 1998, during which time the EU has reversed the previous surplus in Iran's mullahs favor.
The latest figures show a consolidation in Iran's position as the EU's third largest trading partner in the Middle East, closing the gap behind Saudi Arabia and Israel.
The increase in exports to Iran was led by Germany, whose sales grew from Euro 2.2 bn to Euro 2.7 bn last year. French exports rose by Euro 500 million to Euro 2.1 bn and sales from Italy increased from Euro 1.8 bn to Euro 2 bn.
The three main trading partners totaled nearly 70 per cent of the EU exports to Iran, increasing their lead over the UK, whose sales grew by a modest Euro 50 m to Euro 685 m.
