In line 5 should read

“defensive weapon” to Taiwan (not China)

The error is regretted.

What would you think Washington would act if China had just supplied/or is ready to supply J-10 armed with C-802 ASCM or DH-10 to Cuba and China requested that US should agreed with the world to sanction against a rogue nation say Canada (sorry, Canada, just for a comparison), if Russia, Britiian , France (and Germany) had agreed ?

Would US goes along? That is exactly the current issue when your President, Obama decided to sell so called “defensive weapon” to China AND

This is the exact senario, now that Hiliary Clinton seeks China to do.

Compare Iran and Canada – Iran stand out shining compare to Canada.

1) Iran (or Persia) is a world superpower before the existance of Alaxander the Great. She ruled an area from India to Ethropia sometime from 500 BC to 300 BC (Please read the Bible – the book of Esther)

2) Iran has almost twice the population of Canada and a fledging democracy. In fact Iran is a close friend of the US up until the Shah time, prior to the revolution

3) For whatever reason, Iran know best, the political system now worked best for their countries until it is changed legally

4) Just because Iranians are not Sunni, do not meant that they are all radicals, fanatics or worse, terrorist. In fact there are lots of intellectual serving in the international community and are highly regarded who are Iranian.In fact Iran is THE ONLY other country apart from US that have F – 14 (Tomcat) in their military inventory (not even Israel). One can see how close the ties once Iran had with the US.

5) For whatever reasons Iranian students know best to hold the American hostages for 444 days causing the broken of diplomatic ties, it had already a history of more than 30 years ago. The new crops of Iranian can hardly have any idea what their brethen did 30 years ago.

6) Any countries had the right for self-determination. Whether Iran really had the desire to develop atomic bomb or otherwise had to be proven by the US. (The principle that one is presumed to be innocent until proven guilty must be applicable to nation state as well). On the other hand the US had fabricate evidence to justify bombing Saddam Iraq, when Saddam is no longer American “poddle”

7) China is right to resist any temptation by the world body to sanction against a independent nation state. She herself had suffered greatly after the Korean war, when she was not even represented in the body (represented by Taiwan) and the sanction on Tiananmen on China had not lifted even after more than 20 years. China had diplomatic ties with Iran since Tang dynasty (609 AD – ~ 850AD)

even on record, America do not do justice to Cuba – America sent troops to invade Cuba to restore the former tyrant leader only to be ejected by Fidel Castro’s fighters. And American sanction against Cuba had not lifted since (more than 40 years)

9) Therefore, what moral ground had America to ask China to impose sanction against Iran when American moral records
stink????
