This is the time to reach out with membership form to Iran. It’s time. Let them sign up. It’ll be okay.
The World Trade Organization has now opened the door to Iran membership. US President George W. Bush has pulled back his long-standing veto to such a membership invite.
This is the moment to put Iran to the honesty test. They have waffled between slaughtering the world and making peace with the world. One day it’s peace. The next day it’s blood in our face.
Now they say they are willing to talk about doing something tranquil about their nuclear plans and so forth and so forth. Not that any of that can be believed, considering the hot and cold verbiage of the past.
Nevertheless, now that Iran is talking sweet talk, may as well act nice-like and hand over the membership blank.
If Iran proves itself to be a monster liar, then void the membership. That’s it. Void the membership. Kick Iran out of the club and inform the powers-that-be within that locale that never again will the WTO be fool enough to trust a waffler.
Chris Crum of Webpronews.com reports that "Iran has tried to get into the WTO 22 times in the last five years, but was blocked by the United States every time. The U.S. has had a ban on Iran for nearly 20 years because of beliefs that the country supports terrorism.
"The United States dropped its veto after Iran made a commitment to resolve a dispute over its nuclear enrichment program. The U.S. has accused the country of using its nuclear power program to make nuclear weapons, violating the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty."
So with Mr. Bush becoming increasingly known as The Freedom President, it’s simply warp and woof of that mode to see if Iran can be trusted with a community feeling.
Can Iran play ball? Can Iran ‘fess up? Can Iran keep to the rules? Can Iran yank its posterior out of the bad-boy ranks to start acting like a citizen of the planet — nice-like.
"At a meeting with foreign ministers of France, the U.K., and Germany, Iran reaffirmed that it is not trying to make nuclear weapons. The U.S. decided to go along with this.
"’In the European view, Iran continues to suspend its nuclear activities. They believe that a US decision to withhold its veto would help their diplomacy’, said a senior U.S. official."
We’ll see what happens. But for today, hand over the membership form. At the same time, look over your shoulder.
Stay tuned.
