In one respect, yes, but one of the things that Tehran must do is to drive a wedge between the US and the EU, as well as the US and China/Russia. It has so far successfully done so in the latter case, and now it needs to work more on the former. The signals from the Europeans have already gotten better compared to what they were earlier this year (e.g., <http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=10000085&sid=aBkYtsgpeW3E&refer=europe>). I'd like to see Iran drag Russia, China, and the EU (and, if possible, Japan, too) into creating a multipolar world. -- Yoshie <http://montages.blogspot.com/> <http://mrzine.org> <http://monthlyreview.org/>
