| China, Russia welcome Iran into the fold
Quote: |
The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), which maintained it had no plans for expansion, is now changing course. Mongolia, Iran, India and Pakistan, which previously had observer status, will become full members. SCO's decision to welcome Iran into its fold constitutes a political statement. Conceivably, SCO would now proceed to adopt a common position on the Iran nuclear issue at its summit meeting June 15.

It appears that unilateral action will be the only way to go if Bush insists on starting yet another war or armed conflict with another nation.

It's about time a counter to western designs on regions was formed.
Perhaps the idea that the US as the worlds only super power, can do as it pleases is over. |

russia as a super power again. Yeah that is a nice thought there AMR! They are right in keeping with your ideals and muslim ideals.
China is a prize as well. Their environmental record, freedom record, and human rights records are great.
There is no stopping their rise to power but I would think that even you AMR would be more than a bit aprehensive about these two taking the title of super power. | |

What does he care about the socialist and communist regimes that oppress and murder muslims? If it opposes the US, which offers those opressed under tyranny a chance at freedom, then it must be good.

They definately need to band together to fight the foreign ideas of freedom, democracy, freedom of worship, etc.
Birds of a feather...
Their commonality is: "An enemy of yours is a friend of mine."
