US REFUSES UNS DEMANDS FOR UNILATERAL TALKS, INSISTS ON INVOLVING THE ENTIRE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY. . .


[+] serious ballot by herzog
created Fri May 12, 06

From the BBC:

The US has rejected an appeal by UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan to talk directly to Iran about its disputed nuclear programme.

The US said the issue was not bilateral but between Iran and the world.

Mr Annan had said the US needed to talk directly as Iran would not properly negotiate unless the US was involved.

Meanwhile the EU is considering offering Iran incentives to halt its nuclear programme, according to diplomats trying to draw up a proposal.

Is this bizzaro world or what?

The UN insists that the US deal uniliterally with a rogue muslim nation trying to develop WMDs.

The US refuses to go it alone, instead insisting that the entire world cooperate to enforce a peaceful, diplomatic solution on this dictatorship that is violating UN decrees.

Does anyone else see the irony here?

Yes
Nope, no irony there, by the way, what is 'irony'?
No
Iran is not Iraq

COMMENTS:
This is a definite role reversal since Iraq. Nonetheless, it is silly to get egos involved in such a dangerous situation.

The idiots will try to interpret this as American belligerence.

The U.S. (i.e., Uber-Bush) is simply trying to manipulate the rest of the world, in two ways:

1) By leveraging U.S. intransigence into forcing other nations into a coalition of the unwilling, and:

2) By delaying, and hindering, negotiations, making the U.S.'s desired result, military intervention, more likely.

Uber-Bush's intent is an invasion of Iran. Ultimately, like Iraq, he will trump up whatever excuse he can. However, his newfound (since the failure of Iraq unilateralism) reluctance to go it alone, may make him impotent, and his scheme will probably fail.

Surface irony, sure.

The problem though, is that these are two extremes -- US unilateral or International -- without direct US involvement.

As is usually the case when dealing with extremes, neither is particularly good.

PS: One shouldn't read this as incredible irony, since the Bush Admin is holding tru to form and basically refusing to involve itself in anything that remotely resembles real diplomacy.

Diplomacy has little chance unless the US is involved. This is the key dodge that the Bush Admin tries to cloud, as it insists for 'International involvement.'
