CHINA HAS NEW 30 YEAR OIL DEAL WITH THE IRANIANS
Which will serve to preclude any UN Security Council action against Iran

The Chinese government relies on oil from Sudan and cannot afford to have China running short. Russia supplies Sudan with MiGs and other weaponary. It also helps to lay oil pipes. Over the past seven months, China and Russia have successfully blocked the UN Security Council from imposing oil and arms embargoes on Sudan. This means that no action can be taken by the security council against Sudan's genocidal government - and why it cannot intervene militarily.

Now, going by the below excerpt, it looks like China will be able to control the security council when it comes to Iran. Unless the UN is reformed, China and Russia are running our world's security. [By the way - yesterday I read that Kofi Annan intends to stay in office until the end of his term which expires in 2006]

Read Matthew Heidt's excellent post "Calling Good Evil and Evil Good" - here is an excerpt:

"...China has new 30 year oil deal with the Iranians which will server to preclude any Security Council action against the development of nuclear weapons into virtual perpetuity. France and Russia opposed our invasion of Iraq to protect lucrative financial dealings with a murderous thug. They even sent weapons to Saddam while we were staging for the war. The Russians built the Iranian nuclear reactors, the Chinese and the North Koreans have close ties. The French bomb civilians in the Ivory Coast while criticizing us for liberating 25 million Iraqis from a genocidal dictator. The indifference of these nations and their dependence on illicit commerce has led them to a place where they contentedly sit on the sidelines and cheer for our enemies while lounging in the freedom of the security we provide them by taking up the fight. ..."
