I've Been Thinking:

The Russians and the United States has been talking about Iran.

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton just wrapped up a long visit to Russia. Clinton was trying to impress upon the Russians how important it is to either stop or at least slow down work on the nuclear plant they are building in Busher for the Iranians.

Clinton's thesis and the perspective of the United States is that the plant will destabilize the region and has the potential of forcing the region and maybe even the world into war.

Clinton failed.

Sergei Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister and Clinton's direct counterpart, holds the opposite view.

In their final joint press conference Lavrov said that the only way to exert some sense of control over Iran is to open up the nuclear plant.

He asserted that the open plant would permit international inspectors entry and the ability to observe the plant.

He said this is the only way to insure a safe Iran.
The United States was outmaneuvered - again.
