US game
America is playing complex politics and putting itself in an embarrassing situation with other nations who it calls its allies by issuing fabricated reports on countries of its dislike. Recent revelations of American intelligence report on Iran's nuclear ambitions and its build-up ridiculed it further. Robert Gates, US Secretary of Defence, in an international security conference held in Bahrain said that everywhere you turn Iran is fomenting instability and chaos. Ms. Rice, Secretary of State, after drumming up support of a few Nato states is now trying to gather support from her counterpart Sergei Lavorov of Russia on sanctions to be slapped on Iran. But the Russian foreign minister didn't agree to her plan. We recall that after the twin tower attack, the United States was hell-bent on catching the bombing mastermind which is al-Qaeda. However, it has since changed its strategy. Now it is trying to implicate Iran in many ways and mobilising support of its allies to attack the country or impose harsher sanctions to economically cripple it. The world must now act with due responsibility and sincerity to counter the whims of America and save the nations from the wrath of the Bush administration.
