Iran announced on Sunday crunch talks with the European Union to break the deadlock over its controversial nuclear programme have been postponed, amid growing calls for fresh UN action against Teheran.

The Dance Macabre, produced directed and promoted by Iran. Playing the EU diplomatic corps as the fools they are, Iran continues to achieve its goal of delaying any serious economic diplomatic or military sanctions as it pursues the development on nuclear weapons. The EU fools continue to confuse motion with progress.

A few facts are added to the puzzle. The facts about who initiated/supported the postponement will need to be established from multiple sources and over time but there seems to be no outcry, lending credibility to this report. The recap and minor additions to the ongoing story appear to be OK.

An informative article about a sad diplomatic situation. It’s amazing to see how long-lived hatred can be. One explanation for America’s invasion of Iraq was to bring democracy to the mid-east. What is overlooked is that the mid-east had a successful democracy. That is, until that democracy decided to nationalize its own oil fields, taking them back from Britain, which had neglected to relinquish control after WWII. Eisenhower sent in the CIA which overthrew democracy and installed despotic rulers who governed with a heavy hand for the next 29 years until they, too, were overthrown by the Islamic revolution in the late 70s. Not only has Iran never forgiven us, but it seems we’ve nothing to assuage their hatred.
