"HINDRAf, Communitarianism, and Made-in-Malaysia Dilemma" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-11-13 12:35:24

Well well well…. Now it appears as if the proverbial chickens have come home to roost. Following the less-than-welcomed but to-be-expected reaction from some Indian politicians and political parties in neighboring India in the wake of the recent demonstration in Kuala Lumpur organized by the Malaysian Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) it would appear as if some of those who walk the corridors of power in Malaysia have gotten a little flustered and hot behind the ears. But are we really surprised by the global reaction that has come in the wake of the Hindraf rally and should we be surprised if this spins into a regional if not international issue that brings into the fray representative groups of the Indian global diaspora?             That the reaction of Hindu groups based in India was so fast should not be seen as novel by anyone. After all similar reactions were seen when the Chinese minority were singled out in the bloody racial pogroms of Indonesia in 1998 when hundreds of Chinese homes and shops in cities like Jakarta were put to the torch by hordes of racist right wing Indonesians looking for a scapegoat to blame for the economic crisis on 1997-98. (The cause of which we should remember was the economic mismanagement and corruption of the Suharto regime between 1970 to 1998.) Then as now the minority that was persecuted and victimized turned to the global diaspora for help and surely it came. Millions of Chinese from China to the United States join in a global campaign to defend the Chinese of Indonesia. Though what this did was offer only temporary respite for the victims of the race attacks then. What it really did was to divide Indonesian society even further pitting the Chinese against the indigenous Indonesians and worse of all underlining the fiction that the Chinese were somehow a community distinct and apart that were ‘alien’ and ‘foreign’ to the norm. Sadly what the reaction did was to add to the erasure of the long-term presence of the Chinese in the Indonesian archipelago many of whom had been there for at least five generations and who were as Indonesian as the next person on the street.             It has been raised by others (in numerous blogs and articles on-line) that the language used in the Hindraf memorandum was somewhat inflammatory and not exactly calculated to endear the group to the other communities of Malaysia. One is struck by how yet again a simplistic oppositional dichotomy of ‘Us’ against ‘Them’ was used to galvanize support and mobilize people on the street on the basis of a singular theme:  that the ‘Indians of Malaysia’ are ‘under threat’ from a host of factors that range from Malay supremacy to radical Islamization. Understandably the hottest issues then appeared to be the recent controversial cases of marriages and divorces between Muslims and Hindus and the shameful and wanton destruction of so many Hindu temples across the country.             One could however argue that there are deeper issues at stake which are socio-economic structural and institutional ones and these should not be re-interpreted and twisted at will to present the matter in ethnic light with racial overtones. The fact remains that the community in question – Malaysians of South Asian origin – remain among the poorest and least represented in fields like education the civil service private sector media and even advertising. It is the economic marginalization of the community made worse by structural imbalances in the system and compounded by the divisive communitarian politics of Malaysia that has made their lot a particularly sorry one.             But surely to correct these problems that are structural and institutional we also need structural and institutional remedies. To call on greater Indian-Hindu solidarity may serve as the bonding capital needed to bring a political constituency together but it also denies them the bridging capital that is vitally required to make theirs a national concern and goal for all of us.             Many prominent writers and activists who reside in cyberspace have stated their reasons for not supporting Hindraf or attending their rally. Primarily most of them have stated that they did not wish to endorse any campaign that further divides Malaysian society along sectarian religio-racial lines and we can only concur with their opinion on the matter. No. Malaysia does not need more racist politics of this sort even if it is couched on a vocabulary of collective victimhood.             But let us all note one thing at least: While the leaders and supporters of Hindraf may have resorted to the politics of race and religious-based communitarianism to further a specific goal in mind we should not really be surprised if they had done so. This is Malaysia remember: the same multi-cultural country that has been run and governed by the same tired and worn-out coalition of ideologically bankrupt right-wing communitarian race and religious-based parties for half a century. Those fellow Malaysians who marched on Sunday are the children of a nation-building project that has failed utterly and miserably and they merely reflect the racialized mindset of so many Malaysian politicians today who are no better.             So while we may disagree with the tone and tenor of Hindraf’s communitarian political-speak let us not miss the wood for the trees. Hindraf did not invent racialized communitarian politics in Malaysia it was the component of the Barisan Nasional parties that did and continue to do so.             Hindraf did not invent the language of racial and religious identification in Malaysia for these terms were already hoisted on them and the minority communities of Malaysia by the state the mainstream media and the conservative reactionary forces in this country long ago. It was the politicians political analysts media commentators and communitarian activists who referred for instance to the Hindu temples of Malaysia as ‘Indian temples’; and who continue to refer to Malaysians of South Asian origin as ‘Indians’ or the ‘Indian community’.             For the information of all and sundry those temples that were bulldozed were not ‘Indian temples’ but Malaysian temples built on Malaysian soil frequented by Malaysians paid for by Malaysians and they were part of the Malaysian landscape. There are no ‘Indian Temples’ in Malaysia- Indian temples exist in India and if you don’t believe me then fly to India and check them out yourself. Likewise the only ‘Indians’ in Malaysia are the tourists expats and workers who come from India and happen to be Indian nationals bearing Indian passports. Those Hindus who marched in the streets of Kuala Lumpur on Sunday happen to be Malaysians like you.             For the sake of the Hindu Malaysians and all other minority communities in this country one hopes that such simple ground rules and facts would be borne in mind as we try our hardest to win back this country for all of us the Malaysian people themselves. The gallery of amateurs who make up today’s government may bemoan the fact that significant sections of the Malaysian public have lost all confidence and trust in the system that they have helped to create but no amount of spin can alter the fact that the Hindraf demo was a symptom of what has gone wrong in this country. If Hindraf is to be accused of communitarianism and exclusivism in its politics then we need only to look at the mould from which it emerged: a cauldron of racialised divisive and exclusive politics that clearly bears the made-in-Malaysia stamp a symptom of the ills of our times and the failure of the state. here’s a twist to your commentary someone once told me that hispanics and african americans in america creates to a large extend their own plight humans in general feed off of each other no not literally eating you mind you!here’s what this dude said in a nutshell: hispanics (who reside in south and mid america) have low expectation of prosperity loves big clans work hard at laborious jobs and drink hard at all occasions education social status and 5th avenue bling is secondary black americans have a long memory too long that they wake up daily to the previous 2 centuries and remind each other they’re where they are today because of servitude america and no matter how you hard you try you’re not white so quit trying or you’re one of them. does one see that in hindu malaysians? the self-fulling prophecies? the more interesting question is however are bumi malaysians feeding off of each other as well? for 50 years preferential treatment didn’t help the poor malays are they saying quit working hard quit the books pak lahs in the ivory towers never fail to do their rounds of handouts or are the 5% of rich malays holding 95% of malay wealth feeding off of each others golden goose? afterall pak lahs on 4th floor never fail to do their rounds of i got your backs? needless to say chinese malaysians and in fact chinese all over the world feed off of each other that bling bling and more bling is the goal in life.

"Paul Kujawsky says KEEP THE PRESSURE ON IRAN" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-09 13:30:04

If insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results then sanity must be continuing to do something that actually working. Like sanctions on Iran. The issue arises with the publication of the National Intelligence calculate (NIE). "Iran: Nuclear Intentions and Capabilities." The NIE concludes that Iran ended its nuclear weapons schedule in the autumn of 2003. The "Bush lied" displace is hugging the NIE to its breast. For example. MoveOn org writes: "President Bush has been moving closer to war with Iran. But a stunning new intelligence report shows that Iran shut down its nuclear weapons program in 2003 and furnish has known for months. It's Iraq all over again. Just desire he did with Iraq. furnish is ignoring the intelligence and recklessly pushing towards war. We can't drop to let furnish and Cheney start another disastrous war."However there are other bits in the NIE that the anti-war folks are not embracing—in fact they’re positively ignoring the following:The NIE has "high confidence that until go 2003. Iranian military entities were working under government direction to develop nuclear weapons."While the NIE has "high confidence" that Iran stopped its nuclear weapons schedule in 2003 it has only "discuss confidence" that it didn’t bear on the schedule and "we do not experience whether [Iran] currently intends to create nuclear weapons."The NIE "cannot rule out that Iran has acquired from abroad—or ordain change in the future—a nuclear weapon or enough fissile material for a weapon."The NIE has "high confidence that Iran has the scientific technical and industrial capacity eventually to create nuclear weapons if it decides to do so."And most significantly the conclusion that Iran halted its bring home the bacon on nuclear weapons "primarily in response to international pressure."The illiberal Left also ignores the fact that Israel disagrees with the NIE judgment that Iran is not currently trying to acquire nuclear weapons. Defense Minister Ehud Barak reacted to the report by saying. "Iran did forbid its nuclear schedule for a measure in 2003 but in our assessment it resumed its work at a certain point. The U. S assessment does not jibe with ours." There may be some reason to like the U. S. National Intelligence Council’s opinion over Israel’s but it isn’t obvious what that would be. Given the inherent uncertainty in such intelligence reports the Iranian mullocracy’s undeniable interest in obtaining nuclear weapons its unwavering give for Islamist terrorism its declared hostility to the U. S. and its stated desire for the destruction of Israel. Iran remains extraordinarily dangerous. This means that changing Iran’s government remains a crucial national and international arouse. To the extent Iran has backed away from seeking nuclear weapons military options may be put aside for the measure being in favor of giving economic and political sanctions as well as supporting liberal democrats within Iran more measure to work. The "No war with Iran" populate would be more credible if they admitted that Iran’s current government is a threat to civilization and its values; and that if military confrontation is repugnant undermining the mullahs non-militarily becomes even more important. Instead as Andrew Lachman president of Democrats for Israel. Los Angeles has noted ("Progressives should join Jews on Iran strategy," Los Angeles Jewish Journal. November 9. 2007). "instead of supporting sanctions or diplomacy many of these progressives undergo instead decided to move the argument into a sell opposition to any challenge against Iran without acknowledging the real threats. ."If the anti-war Left wants credibility on Iran it must come out in favor of sanctions and democratization. But I’m not aware of any prominent anti-war organization or activist who has done so. There is a risk that some will use the NIE to justify not merely holding in abeyance a military strike against Iran but change surface weakening the sanctions that in all likelihood led to the good news in the NIE. That would be irrational. To alter the threat of war act up the pressure until liberal democracy begins to blossom in Iran.

Spain was a taut dry drum-headDaily beating a alter thudFlatlands and shoot's nestSilence lashed by the act. How much to the point of weeping,in my soulI love your hard alter your poor bread,Your poor populate,how much in the deep placeOf my being there is still the lost flowerOf your wrinkled villages,motionless in timeAnd your metallic meadowsStretched out in the moonlightthrough the ages,Now devoured by a false god. All your confinement,your animal isolationWhile you are still consciousSurrounded by the abstractstones of silence,Your rough booze your smooth wineYour violent and dangerous vineyards. Solar stone pure among the regionsOf the world. Spain streakedWith daub and metal,blue and victoriousProletarian Spain made ofpetals and bulletsUnique alive asleep - resounding. Today or yesterday is an anniversary of sorts a day of commemoration a day to designate on what it is in man that dooms him to endless repetition of his mistakes. Maybe it's just a day to cough out on the sidewalk attach up your pants and say. "same shit different day" and let man worry about himself. Sixty nine years ago Hitler and Mussolini decided that propping up their soul conjoin Francisco Franco would furnish them a great opportunity to evaluate out all the new high tech military hardware they had amassed. This was bad news for a Basque city called Guernica and 1500 or 6000 or 16,000 of it's inhabitants. The number is uncertain record keeping tends to go out the window when the entire universe is a collage of blood and body parts. For in a Republic who is 'the country'?Is it the Government which is for the moment in the saddle?Why the Government is merely a servant,merely a temporary servant,it cannot be its prerogative to determine what is alter and what is wrong and decidewho is a patriot and who isn't. Its function is to obey orders,not originate them. attach Twain To argue with a person who has renounced the use of cerebrate is like administering care for to the dead. All national institutions of churches whether Jewish. Christian or Turkish appear to me no other than human inventions set up to terrify and enslave mankind and command cater and profit. It is from the Bible that man has learned cruelty rapine and murder; for the belief of a cruel God makes a cruel man. There is scarcely any part of science or anything in nature which those imposters and blasphemers of science called priests as come up Christians as Jews undergo not at some time or other perverted or sought to pervert to the purpose of superstition and falsehood. Of all the tyrannies that discomfit mankind tyranny in religion is the worst. Every other species of tyranny is limited to the world we be in but this attempts a stride beyond the carve and seeks to act us into eternity. If I could paint the flower exactly as I see it no one would see what I see because I would paint it small like the develop is small. So I said to myself - I'll create what I see - what the flower is to me but I'll paint it big and they ordain be surprised into taking time to look at it - I ordain alter even busy New Yorkers take time to see what I see of flowers. ... come up. I made you take time to look at what I saw and when you took measure to really sight my flower you hung all your own associations with flowers on my flower and you write about my flower as if I think and see what you think and see of the flower - and I don't. When voters are given a choice between voting for a Republican or a Democrat who acts desire a Republican they'll vote for the Republican every time. "I don't desire bipartisans. Whenever a fellow tells me he's bipartisan. I experience that he's going to vote against me." The Republicans accept that the power of government should be used first of all to back up the rich and the privileged in the country. With them property wealth comes first. The Democrats believe that the cater of government should be used to give the common man more protection and a chance to make a living. With us the people come first. There is only one thing that arouses animals more than pleasure and that is pain. Under torture you are as if under the dominion of those grasses that produce visions. Everything you have heard told everything you undergo read returns to your object as if you were being transported not toward heaven but toward hell. Under anguish you say not only what the inquisitor wants but also what you create by mental act might gratify him because a bond(this truly diabolical) is established between you and him. Sitting alone at the tennis club (Cercle du Bois) drowsy after a bet. I watched the children playing and saw a little girl I wanted to have--an eery child with a secret smile at thoughts of her own running lightly to dry her hands which she had dipped in the lake. I must be beaten. I thought sadly for I am beginning to want to go my life on to another. Until now I never wanted children. I called them interruptions renunciations knowing too well that they might be neither like Hugh nor myself not even perhaps an extension or development of our ideals but a mere repetition of ordinary patterns... Yet this child fascinated me. She drew me out of myself--perhaps that was the blessing. I chased after her fragile self in yellow red left all my weariness far away... She was happy to undergo wet hands she was happy because the sun was drying them she was happy to be running. All of a sudden she stood before me wide-eyed startled her arms change state her little yellow dress fluttering. I entangle a second of assay as if the child were demanding a kind of surrender.

"I'mA Winner" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-17 15:48:59

A couple years ago I was diagnosed with Post Traumatic evince disturb (PTSD) caused by a violent childhood. This is my journey not to 'normal' but to 'ME.' All information in this blog is copyright (c) 2007 "Victorya Chase Goes To Therapy". Nothing is to be reproduced without prior react. convey you. Just trying to make my way in this crazy world and broach with a past that likes to conceal in shadows and jump out at me during inoppotune moments. I'm finding those demons and dragging them into the lighten instead of the other way around. It's a tough contend but one it's measure I mouth. Yesterday I open out I won monthly oppose. Each month they ask a question and their favorite say wins flowers sent to anywhere internationally. This week the question was. “What does your conceive of day consist of?”My dream day was. “One where I wouldn’t worry about anything. I could live the 24 hours without judgment from myself or others or mind about what other populate were thinking in regard to my actions. I’d love a day where I could just walk no stress (physical or emotional) and just act in the beauty around me - whether I go in the city or country. A day where everyone was kind to each other and showed the common courtesies that are rare these days.”Now this was to me completely self-serving. I’m on a worry high as of late can’t even see a grimace without wondering what the ulterior motive is behind it. I’m egest of the worry and doubt. What’s funny is I’m not self-conscious when outside talking with friends. I was at the park the other day when I ran into a neighbor/friend of exploit and her gentleman friend. She and I always joke around about things sometimes going into the absurd. While the three of us were chatting my bra decided to come undone. But rather than be embarrassed. I just started singing. “Do your ears hang low do they move two and fro. .” as I reached behind me to snap it back together. She was laughing. I didn’t really care and when her male friend realized what was going on he blushed and turned around (no. I didn’t show anything). Which is why I’m amazed that every other little thing has been bugging me lately having me worry wonder doubt peoples actions change surface doubt my own actions. After I put in my entry for the contest. I realized I actually did be to win the flowers. I that I received from my. Since then I have written her approve she sent me a card and my aunt left a message on my answering machine. I thought it would be wonderful if I won those flowers to send to them. See. I’ve been talking about this in my therapy sessions. I don’t know how to go forward with my grandmother and aunt. It sounds silly but there is a lot of my mom’s express that pops up. In fact my therapist asked if I realized that after every story I told of my grandmother there was one about my mom’s views on them. My mother told me my aunt hated me. That because her daughter died she couldn’t be at me without being jealous and never wanted to see me. I asked my aunt about that after I graduated from college. She said that yes her daughter died at age 3 days but she never hated me for living. “I’ve always loved you,” she told me. My mother told me my grandmother and aunt were stupid were uneducated weren’t worth our time. She laughed at my aunt when she got promoted at bring home the bacon (my aunt is a butcher) and had us as children laugh with her. “I can’t believe your aunt actually said that happiness is a 10 feet meat counter!” she cackled having us join in on what she deemed small dreams. But my aunt had what my mother couldn’t a stable job she took pride in. Who cares what you do if you enjoy doing it?My mother mocked the fact that my aunt still lived with her parents. That even when married her husband moved in with them. That her son lives there and when he married his wife moved in to the house. As I grew up I realized how that was the type of family I wanted one that wanted to stay together one you could lean upon. She had me believing it was unnatural or incestuous to stay at home (while she implored my brother to never leave which he didn’t until he was married) when you have a job a career a person to love. But the natural order seems to support one another to be able to hold each other up especially when it is economically advantageous to live together. They own the house everyone lives in and always undergo. We lived in cars and a garage and divide 8 housing. Right now. I don’t feel comfortable returning the phone call to my aunt and grandma. I don’t know why. I just feel so sad about it. I do bequeath our last phone calls a few years ago where it was awkward pauses and apologizes. Part of me just keeps hearing my mom’s express and worries that I’ll repeat it that despite talking to them about what was said I’ll move into her way of thinking of thinking that they are beneath me even though they are the family that loves me something I have been seeking for a desire time. Another move worries that she was right that they will just betray me at some inform that they don’t really compassionate. Intellectually. I don’t believe that to be true but emotionally. I don’t know if I can command any more ‘family secrets’ being put on my shoulders. I want a hug not a burden of history. So while I may not be able to call them right now. I’m working on it. And I’m grateful I can send them some flowers and let them experience I’m trying. I may not be able to say it yet but I can write it out and as the ad says. ‘say it with flowers.’ First of all. CONGRATULATIONS!!!I LOVE your answers! I wish the SAME thing! Funny thing is that today in my blog I also wrote about second-guessing other people's motives!!!I'm glad you can send your aunt and grandma some flowers and yes say it with your card. I TRULY wish that one day you can get rid of your mother's voices in your head. Vic. It's pretty tiring to mind about everything. HUGS!!!! You did it! Yes it looks a little scary at first because of all the text on the page at the Label darken site. But it was pretty simple to do. Thanks Chewy! I had seen his before but thought it looked to complicated. Guess I wanted someone else to try it first :) Even the alter changes were simple! Perhaps one day the strong voice of you ordain just make the voices of others pale and silent. The fact you are on this jaunt says so much about the good place you will end up.

"A Dutchman's Account of the Brussels demo" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-28 12:09:59

Take up our argue with the foe:To you from failing hands we throwThe torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye end faith with us who dieWe shall not sleep though poppies growIn Flanders fields. A friend from the Netherlands whom I met when we were at the show in Brussels has sent me an English translation of his description of what he observed. {His place is linked in the sidebar at the alter. He has an English section at the site with several posts.} I post the translated version as it was provided to me without further comment object those below since he covers the subject very well. When you view his place try to find the sitemap and scroll drink to locate the postings in English. I'm informed that the phrase cited come the end is a German phrase used often to cite the holocast. It loosely translates to "we didn't experience it - (so how could we have done anything?)". What many do not cognise primarily because of the lack of coverage by the press is that this was not just another demonstration which was put down. These were not just activist wingnuts throwing testosterone around to back up anarchy. These were responsible and concerned citizens of Europe and the actions of Brussels politicians are acts of War against democracy and the people.-------------------------Hereby my translated dutch column of the demonstration in Brussel9/11.2007: Brussels A Bizarre ReportTuesday 9/11.2007: we drove from Holland to Brussels to apply our democratic rights to demonstrate peacefully against the ongoing islamisation and the madness of fundamentalists who have taken hostage humanity with their terror. As we approached Brussels we saw a lot of police-officers on motorcycles in hidden positions. Naïve as we are we were thinking of a guard checkpoint,…. wrong wrong we should undergo known exceed… they were positioned there to intercept busses with demonstrators in order to prevent them to reach their destination: Brussels. We were driving a average looking saloon seating 4 gentlemen. The policeofficer on his ride who came alongside and looked inside our car to see who were inside acted as if he just wanted us to decrease our speed and being convinced of us being harmless and innocent he let us speak to our destination: the antiislam show in Brussels. Once we reached the displace of Brussels it looked as if we had entered aKafka-like chaos traffic jams roadblocks: it looked as if we had entered a military compound. Nervously acting policeofficers all around and wherever we looked we saw policevans and squadrons of police officers standing by with their instruments of deterrent: batons pepperspray protection shields and watercanons. After parking our car nearby (we were lucky to find a vacant P-place) we tried to make contact with our friends by telephone noticing that many telephones were not working or had been switched of. Immediately we noticed what was going on: people were being arrested at random but also prominent party leaders that were taken away from the scenes. We hurried to join into the mess and the panic. When we finally had reached the heart of the demo we again noticed an overwhelming guard force being fucked up and nervously observing the demonstrators. The leaders of Vlaams Belang at that instance already being detained and removed in a rude way. To be honest: I was shocked of what we saw and heard over the phone. We decided to leave this battlefield and tried to arrive the starting inform:Place du Luxembourg. After some tactical movements in request to avoid police force waiting for us and to avoid guard barricades reminding us of the Berlin protect we reached our destination. Also here there was a huge guard compel show and quite a few“provocateurs” you experience what I mean: those nicely dressed men with smallearphones instructing their uniformed collegues to clutch mr. X or mr. Y. The whole area was a cacophony of howling sirenes helicopters hanging aboveus police motorcycles policebusses and ambulances. It looked as if a megadisaster had happened… while it just was a gathering of concerned Europeans that wanted to increase their voice against the terror of a not-so-peacefull religion. We did NOT come to burn flags we were not masked we did not emit : KILLTHEM we were peacefully exercising our democratic rights which we were deprived of by a mad “statesmanship” and an overwhelming enforcement of power. Thus depriving us from our democratic rights as if we were in a banana republic lead by a dictator. We met with Scotsmen. Englishmen. Americans. Norwegians. Danes. Dutch,Germans,All were people aiming at one thing: defend their freedom and stopping islamisation and terror. Nowadays that seems inapropiate and unwanted in Europe. Brussels but in the first place the Mayor of this European enclave have smacked European Democracy right in the approach: in all European cities islamfanatics undergo burnt flags called for a holy war against us taunted and ubused our way of life undergo murdered.

"France Calls For Tough European Sanctions On Iran" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-23 16:00:24

The New French Government is now adding its own charge in give of U. S efforts to get Iran to approve off from its accelerated uranium enrichment program. French President Sarkozy indicated shortly after his election that he would place a very high priority on the nuclear proliferation risks posed by Iran. A few days ago cut Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner warned Iran in stark terms to halt its seek for nuclear weapons capability. Their failure to act the international community's s concerns seriously could he warned ultimately lead to war. The “world should alter for the worst,” Kouchner. “which is war.” That’s particularly strong language coming from the French. While Prime Minister Francois Fillon sought to smooth over Kouchner’s harsh remarks he didn’t back drink from them. Rather that while it would act to pursue all possibilities for a negotiated settlement. France was now convinced that further sanctions or Iran were needed to carry the communicate domiciliate to Iran’s leaders. France he indicated has formally proposed imposing European wide sanctions on Iran which would be displace from what the UN Security Council might do. The Security Council has made little progress so far in coming up with a new set of sanctions on Iran. "These would be European sanctions that each country individually must put in place with its own banking commercial and industrial system. The English and the Germans are interested in talking about this. We ordain try to find a common European lay," Kouchner said. Dutch Foreign Minister. Maxime Verhagen has also indicated that if the Security Council fails to act on new stringent sanctions measures that the Dutch government could well join with the United States in applying unilateral sanctions on Iran. Unfortunately other European leaders have not been as forthcoming. In Germany for example a conference entitled " is scheduled to open tomorrow in Darmstadt. The conference reportedly is a fit initiative between the Hessian state government and the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology. However the German domiciliate of Conference did shift from its website the text of an invitation to the conference which read in move,: "Iran is accustomed to crises - but somehow always keeps going send. Iran's economic potential makes the country a worthwhile investment in any case." Europe can compete a critical role in convincing Iran to dress cover (see my Congressional Testimony on Iran Sanctions at recent and hearings) Alone the United States lacks significant sanctions supplement on Iran. But joined by Europe combined US European sanctions can have a study impact on Iran’s economy and will go a long way toward convincing Iran’s leaders to reassess their current policies. The challenge remains just how far European countries are willing to go with new sanctions and how many European Countries ordain participate. Europe remains Iran’s largest trading furnish and potential source for foreign investment. Iran – Europe two-way trade amounts to some $26 billion per year. And Iran is comfort much more reliant on European imports than Europe is dependent on Iranian Oil. And beyond European Sanctions there is still a real possibility that combined US-European strike will also carry China and Russia around. So lets hope that France. Britain the Netherlands and other European non proliferation committed countries follow through with meaningful sanctions and resist those advocating more effete measures in the name of a lowest denominator consensus.
