If I Were Iranian Leaders (2)

The time has come for the people of the great nation of Iran to show the quality of their long and cultured ancestry - as skilled diplomats and tribes. Nothing is more helpful in the long-running nuclear power matter than the goodwill of its friends led by Russia and China.

The visit of President Putin this week, for the Caspian Sea Summit, cements the fact.

The resignation of the chief nuclear resignation should be no excuse or set-back at all. Iran is entitled to choose its officials.


If I were the country's leaders, I will honestly take up Russia's proposals and show absolute good faith in resolving this matter soonest. There is nothing to be gained in either intransigence or ego tripping. Iranian interests must be paramount, and an early resolution, not international isolation, be da KEY.

More than anything else, Iran must not deceive or disappoint its friends and supporters. The world expects its word to be its bond!

Iran wants nuclear power for peaceful purposes? Yes. Then get it by peaceful politics. Period.


The time is NOW.

If I Were The UN Security Council...on Iran

Diplomacy has shown its benefits in the six-party talks on North Korea's nuclear issue. It will do same with the Iranian issue as well.

If I were the UN Security Council, I will press for diplomatic solutions, and place a moratorium on inflammatory rhetorics - especially between the US and Iran.

Russia needs to step up, as China finally did with the DPRK, and come up with a creative cum courageous proposal that everyone can sign up on. Iranian leaders should not underestimate the crisis nor should the United States underplay the need for Iran's support in it's efforts in Iraq. Both countries must back down from their hostile posturing NOW.

If I were the Security Council, this matter will be placed with President Putin right away. He can do it with the tacit support of the French and Chinese. Iran must listen to its friends and backers this time. We all know the problem, and, by Jove, we do know the solution. Why waver?

It is time for peace, alas.
