I can't argue with that sentiment, in fact have stated so as well, and that also must be a huge source of anger and frustration. It is not fair to be sure. But they don't care. The powers that be want to maintain the exclusivity of the nuclear club, and are especially restrictive to what they see as "closed" societies, or undemocratic countries, of which Iran has a special designation, being a member of the Axis of Evil. I know you know all this, and I am simply stating the obvious. What they really want is world wide control, and countries like Iran and North Korea are not yet open to political and economic control by the west. 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. The larger picture is interesting to me. Since the fall of the USSR, the drive to one world government has taken a huge leap. Europe has expanded to Russia's doorstep, Russia itself has opened up to foreign investment and culture, and China is also on the fast track now to integration with the West. It will be interesting if these two, Russia and China, will back Iran, where they both have extensive commercial interests, or if they will stand aside, perhaps reluctantly, as they did in the Balkans, Afghanistan and Iraq. 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. 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.
