somewhat predictable. Last week Iran announced pipeline connecting the two countries to ship oil east to china. The Iranian's are not dumb, they know the way to get their nukes is to bribe the chinese, pay off the russians for the new reactor, and then just continue to ignore the british,french, german iniative on uranium enrichement. Where will this leave the US? It will leave us as the ones who once again have to play global cop and either we, or the israelis will have to deal with both the reactor and uranium enrichment/nuke weapons sites.
Spot on analysis IMHO! Thanks for putting it so succinctly.
