RE: You’ve mistaken Arthur….
Europe has a more pragmatical and hypocritical view which make us wider margins of manouver. I suppose the US is much more direct and we are more subtle. We don´t consider a complete good or evil, black or white, or isolation. I find American more basic in his external relations, and this doesn´t mean to be something negative. One day a friend like Saddam can become a ruthless enemy. I am judging it since every country has the right to decide whom should they trade with. So I find this thread a bit childish and full of senseless reproaches in both sides. Europe, since diplomacy was invented here, trade with anyone and don´t isolate anyone from anything. As Geforce points, we assume that things can be changed from inside if one supports his small changes in Iran. So it´s not a question of moral. Power is power interests are interests whateve come from either Europe of the US. Coming back from Iran, he has given the right direction and reformists have advanced quite a lot. If we isolate them again, they could go back to their isolation because they would feel a necesity in getting into the coccon. The same applies to Korea, in which unexpected changes are happening due to diplomatic moves and probably the country will collapse soon. And in the case of Lybia, trade with Europe is helping to soften the regime. And Cuba, a single visit of the Pope was more helpful than embargo. Go folk….stop throwing bullets from all sides of the Atlantic. Nobody is better than the other. It seems that more things separate us than the atlantic. If you want to go ahead, please open another topic. This is being difficult to open. For me it´s hard to explain what I feel since English is not my mother language.
