Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Fails In Attempt To Win Brazil Over Regarding Iranian Sanctions
What Is The Next Step In The War On Terror Against Iran?
In yet another rebuff of the United States call for tough sanctions aimed at stopping the Iranian nuclear weapons development program, Brazilian President da Silva said "it is not wise to push Iran into a corner. It is wise to establish negotiations."
The Secretary of State, in yet another indication of either the naivete of the Obama administration or utter disregard for what would be a world changing development said, "I think it's only after we pass sanctions in the Security Council that Iran will negotiate in good faith."
Neither of these statements rings particularly true, but Brazil's position puts another stumbling block in front of what has become a very slow and ineffective process of getting Iran to stop it's uranium enrichment program that appears to be for the purpose of developing nuclear weapons.
Brazil, a non-permanent member of the U.N. Security Council along with Turkey, joins permanent members China and most likely Russia as unwilling participants in sanctions against Iran. These countries calls for diplomacy and talks with Iran, as opposed to tough action is understandable from an economic standpoint, but not from that of the security of the globe.
