This article talks about how senior diplomats from 6 world powers (Britain, China, France, Russia, United States, and Germany) talked on Monday and tried to come up with a plan about Iran's nuclear program. Unfortunately they failed and couldn't come to a consensus. China who is a large part of the world powers had blocked the discussion of this topic for almost two weeks... apparently in retaliation to U.S. arms sales to Taiwan. The U.S. had been trying to organize the conference call since the beginning of the month and when they did this is what the diplomats said according to spokesman Robert Wood, "they remain committed to the dual-track strategy and will remain in close contact on developments over the coming days and weeks." The idea is/was to give Iran incentives to give up objectionable parts of its nuclear program but if they don't to apply sanctions. Basically what the dual-track strategy is, is the main element of a slow-moving pressure campaign to persuade Iran to give up objectionable parts of its nuclear program. They haven't quite got it all figured out yet or rather haven't all quite agreed on the same idea according to this article.http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,441542,00.html
I think that Iran is acting like a baby or maybe a stubborn toddler at best. What they are doing is wrong and everyone else thinks so too. Basically the only thing that is allowing Iran to continue with its objectionable nuclear programs, is the world powers against them can't decide how to put an end to it's objectionable nuclear programs. I mean I understand the fact that they don't want to give up their programs but the powers aren't asking them to give up their programs completely just objectionable parts. Plus they just got taken off of the black list of terrorist nations why would they push the buttons and argue to keep questionable parts of their nuclear programs? The fact that we might be giving Iran incentives to go along with the plan just doesn't make much sense to me... either they do it or don't. Their incentive should be that they already got taken off the of the black list we shouldn't have to give them more. I don't know much of the whole Iran situation other than what I read in this article but from what I know so far I think Iran should just cooperate. Of course I am just a U.S. high school student and not an Iran diplomat but that is what I think...Take it or leave it.
