U.S. Seeks to Use Business to Lock In Iran Deal This is the right thing to do. We need to rebuild trade relations with Iran as soon as possible. More below. "The White House is pushing to ease the way for companies to complete deals with Iran, aiming to cement the landmark nuclear agreement reached last year and make it difficult for future administrations to undo it, senior U.S. officials said."
The trade will create ties which will allow the two countries to begin to work through the past problems. "Administration officials are also studying whether to publicly back Iran’s bid to join the World Trade Organization, a move opposed by America’s Persian Gulf allies, such as Saudi Arabia." Studying? This is a no brainer. They will need to begin rebuilding their economy, and the sooner they do it the more they will have to lose, the greater the blow back from Iranians if they act in ways which will jeopardize that status. The reason the Salafist/Sunni/Wahhabist countries like Saudi oppose Iran's WTO bid, is they are in an existential struggle for the hearts and minds of muslims. The House of Saud, and its Salafi/Wahhabi allies are our enemy, not Iran. Iran became an enemy due to unfortunate circumstances, the cold war mentality, and incompetent foreign policy actions. Time to rectify that problem, realize who is our enemy, and realign the Middle East in a configuration which more suits our, and the free world's interests. "Administration officials say a longer-term goal is that business engagement with Iran will facilitate political change there, as Mr. Obama hopes is the case in Cuba." Even the blind pig finds the occasional acorn. On cue, the spokesman for the stupid party peanut gallery pips up, "squeak, squeak." "'If Boeing goes through with this deal, the company will forever be associated with Iran’s chief export: radical Islamic terrorism,” said Rep. Peter Roskam (R., Ill.), who introduced new legislation this week to try to block the deal and was the recipient, along with Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R., Texas), of the Boeing executive’s letter on Thursday." Brilliant. This kind of Republican "leadership" is what causes the perpetual pariah state problem. There can be no solution because these yammerheads fail to understand that the US must at some point act to bring the pariah back into the international fold.
