Phil > Iran has a special designation, being a member of the Axis of Evil.

Therefore why should Iran accede to the demands of the West? Iran saw what happened to Iraq and knows it is damned if it does and damned if it doesn't. If you were in Ahmadinejad's shoes, would you give up your nuclear ambition?

> What they really want is world wide control

That seems to be it but actually I think it has more to do with the problems and religious fantasies surrounding Israel. Indeed, I would describe the War on Terror as being closer to a Crusade than to any other kind of war.

> countries like Iran and North Korea are not yet open to political and economic control by the west

That's for a start but the fantasy will not end. The idea that one nation can control the whole world, or even the Middle East, can only be described as madness. And there's no doubt that this madness is also having severe repercussions in the US, itself, where Constitutional rights are being swept aside in favour of Biblical dogma and neo-fascist tyranny.

> China, on the other hand, is well under way towards political integration, as her new found wealth and status is dependant upon Western ties and continued investment.

That's a matter of opinion. At the moment, China is busy exploiting the West as it develops itself. But China has an enormous internal, and as yet undeveloped, market which will render it increasingly independent of the West. Indeed, it is the West which needs the cheap goods which China produces in order to keep its own inflation "under control" -- not forgetting that the US needs China to buy its debt in order to stay solvent.

> It will be interesting if these two, Russia and China, will back Iran

I have no doubt they will. They know that, after Iran, their turn is next. So it suits both of them to keep the conflict in and with Iran rather than let it get closer to themselves which it would do if Iran "fell".

> The selfless arms of the West are wide open, ready and willing to warmly embrace the last few holdouts to the New World Order, such as Iran.

No comment.

> All they have to do is to say "I do", forget about their own nationalistic ambitions, and simply allow themselves to be swept away, contentedly, in that wonderful embrace of love, and dream of the orgasmic future which lies ahead.

You must have been thinking about Angela Merkel when you wrote that.
