BURMA OFFICIALLY BACKS IRAN'S NUCLEAR PROGRAM?

[+] serious ballot by xxxxxxxx
created Tue Feb 06, 07

"Feb 06, 2007 (DVB)—Burmese foreign minister U Nyan Win said his government supported Iran’s desire to develop civilian nuclear technology in a meeting with Tehran’s ambassador to Burma, Mohsen Pak-Ayeen, in Rangoon on Sunday.

Iran’s state-run Islamic Republic News Agency reported late on Monday that Nyan Win backed Iran’s pursuit of nuclear capabilities—a position the Burmese foreign minister said was shared by the rest of ASEAN. The Iranian Embassy in Bangkok, which also serves Burma, told DVB that the meeting was held in Rangoon on Sunday afternoon. Pak-Ayeen was unavailable for further comment on Tuesday.

The meeting comes just a few weeks before the International Atomic Energy Agency is due to produce a detailed report on Iran’s nuclear capabilities following the passing of a UN Security Council resolution on the Middle Eastern state in December. A UNSC resolution calling for reforms in Burma failed to pass last month due to opposition from permanent council members Russia and China.

During Sunday’s meeting, both officials condemned what they said were efforts by “big nations,” namely the US, to impose their views on the international community.

“Iran does not regard as a threat to international peace and security. The human rights situation in is a domestic issue which should be settled through appropriate ways,” IRNA quoted the Iranian ambassador as saying.

Pak-Ayeen passed on a message from the Iranian foreign minister Manouchehr Mottaki inviting U Nyan Win to visit Tehran, the report added.

Sunday’s meeting, which comes in the face of UNSC pressure on Burma and Iran, is the latest sign of warming relations between the two countries."

- Are you surprised that there seems to be a pattern emerging in which authoritarian regimes and dictatorships back Iran's nuclear ambitions, and that it is mostly democratic and free nations that are worried about Iran's ambitions?

No, scum usually stick together.	9

No surprise there. No surprise, either that the pattern also holds in terms of which nations allow the death penalty.

This is how this kind of thing usually unfolds. Disgusting nations usually agree to back one another when they come under scrutiny from the Free World.

Almost as if it were some sort of axis of not-good nations working together to keep themselves in power and stick it to the free world.

Hmm, but 'not-good' lacks that certain ring to it, perhaps there is some other word for it?

Burma has a death penalty for Narcotics, and pretty uniquely lists caffeine among them.

Death by Latté.

Roughly analogous to Patrick Buchanan backing the Border Wall...oh, wait...
