US, EU, Russia, and China meet over Iran

The United States, EU, Russia and China met Monday to discuss Iran's nuclear program, with Washington and the European Union pushing to bring the Islamic state before the U.N. Security Council. It seems that the EU is finally on board with agreeing to refer Iran to the UN security council for sanctions. Britain, France, and Germany finally agreed to give up two years of negotiations, declaring them a "dead end."

Bush and the US has been saying for quite a while now that Iran should be referred to the Security Council. This attempt was always stopped by the EU, because they believed that Iran could be dealt with through negotiations. Well, they were wrong, dead wrong, and Iran is now a more dangerous place because of it. The continuous cycle of Iran pushes the envelope, EU forces talks, Iran backs down seems as though it has ended. It was just ridiculous how the EU kept getting fooled. They would say to the US, look they're cooperating again. Then a month later, Iran was defying them again, so they would call for more talks. The sooner this issue is dealt with, the better and easier it will be (or would have been).

It seems obvious that Iran never intended to comply with the EU negotiations. This is evident in the fact that they have openly admitted to wanting a nuclear program (apparently for peaceful purposes). Yet, the EU and the rest of the world was not able to see this. The US, however, did. We told the rest of the world all along that this was the case. Yet everyone continued to ignore us.

Well, now that seems to have all changed. The only problems with referring Iran to the Security Council might be China and Russia. China is highly dependent on Iran for oil, and has said that referring Iran to the Security Council will only escalate the confrontation.

I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens with this. Hopefully the world will not back down this time.
