Thought there ought to be an American posting on this board. Looks like loose ends being tied up before an attack on Iran to me.
J. White, New Whiteland, USA
For some reason I think this has nothing to do with Iranian
nuclear capability. I mean, how "nihilistic" could they be if they're making mega long-term investment and business-deals? Clearly they aren't interested in anything "apocalyptic". This must be a major disappointment to the radical neocons.
Scott, Calgary, Alberta
No doubt China and Russia will fill the hole; maybe even India.
Western influence in the Middle East will diminish and the Good ol' USA will carry on financially running the world to the basic detriment of its good neighbours; who pay off its debt by a free falling dollar.
