The Dance Continues....

Today's announcement of the news Washington is preparing to come out from behind the curtain and publically join the Western powers in their negotiations with Iran is important, although not certain to produce a favorable outcome for either the stability of the international system or America's preeminent position therein. Ostensibly, the issue is Iran's nuclear program, but although unstated, far more than the nuclear program is at stake. The underlying subject matter is the nature of US-Iranian affairs for the foreseeable future and the emerging 21st century global balance of power.


Let us hope cooler heads prevail and the powers that be share a healthy respect for and understanding of the principle that nations have neither permanant allies or enemies, just permanent interests.
