Fools Rush In

Today the EU gave authorization to the UN security council to eventually use "mandatory force" in its dealings with Iran's nuclear enrichment program. The authorization is supported by the United States who also have reason to fear the development of nuclear weapons. As a response Iran threatened that they would be quick to attack Israel if they fall under any sort of attack from the U.S. Israel has been supported, armed, and backed by the U.S. every since its reestablishment as a nation over 50 years ago. Further complicating the already akward and touchy situation are permenant UN Security Council member countries Russia, and China who do not support the idea of sanctions against Iran, and further do not believe Iran should be labeled a potential threat by the Western powers. Russia and China's motivations for supporting and protecting Iran, like all things in the Middle East, revolve mostly around oil. With Russia still rebuilding their economy, and China's rapid industrialization both nations will continue to rely heavily on Iran for oil. This delicate relationship has many around the world on edge, fearing another possible conflict in the near future, and this does not bode well for the U.S. who's military is already overburdened and spread to0 thin. May I humbly suggest to Washington that we develop a strategic plan in conjunction with and with the blessing of the rest of the world (i.e. UN and EU) before hastily entering another Middle-Eastern war zone.
