War against (T)Error?

UN Security Council completed the voting which would decide the action against Iran for the ‘acts favoring nuclear enrichments’. Surprisingly, India has decided to stand with US and support the allegations that the Uranium enrichment that’s being done by Iran is in the prospects of endangering human kind. Is India’s stand wrong? I can’t arbitrate that it is wrong, since any kind of nuclear research has chances of endangering life and the red flag needs to be pulled at the right time. But my question is “Why just Iran?” Why the so called ‘War against Terrorism’ is concentrated in towards the Middle East? US just finished cutting the blood supply of a nation named Iraq. Recently US ambassador appealed against the joint decision made by India and China to buy an oil field in Syria for $573 Million. Reason: Syria is short listed as a probable territory from where terror campaign can arise, and if such hefty amount of capital is going to be floated in the country, they might start acts of terrorism. Maybe it’s because of the force named China standing by us, - our Foreign ministry made a brawny reply asking US not to teach us how to control our own economy and foreign policies. Getting back to main topic, US had already short listed Syria as ‘terrorist’ probable realm. Remaining powers of Middle East, Saudi and Kuwait are ruled by Sheikhs whose identity cards would show the portrait of the US president. :)

What is this leading to? It’s quite palpable that the hottest commodity for next century would be natural gas. The largest producers of the same have already taken the lead roles in the movie directed by US. But the intelligent wolves are well aware that the sum of natural gas deposits of other Middle East nations would make a substantial quantity in the global market. After having a bout of selective amnesia which makes them fail to remember about Afghan and Pak, the focus is diverted to uranium enrichment program in Iran which is the 4th largest natural gas producer, oil field sales in Syria which comes in top 10 natural gas producers. Now the whole world can turn a blind eye on the nuclear researches happening at the ancestral homes of US, France, UK and other biggies.

I am sure that it’s not very hard to make out these facts. But then, why are other biggies like India and China not retaliating to it? I don’t think that nations like China, Germany and Russia are just imprudent enough to ignore it, which means they might be scheduling some games in the backstage. Would our Bharat also be planning some strategy behind these enemy lines? Is it already signed a clandestine team up with China on this?

Anyway the way things are going does not point to a peaceful 21st century – whatever strategies these biggies are planning, it does not seem to be in the best interests of the earth and its inhabitants. All we can hope is for level-headedness to prevail, Earlier the better.

USA is financailly and military wise the most powerful nation in the world.
We cant rant and rave as much as we want but the reality is that if they say "jump", we ask "how high?".

Yes. Thats exactly what I told - Why do we dance according to their tunes? We means not only India - but other nations also. I dont think US is so high above others. Seeing the way things work there, I always felt that the moment they cut imports from Asia, the country can go down. Especially the way they are dependent on China. But again, thats how trade works - Its good for China too :)

What IRAN is doing is very well justifiable..Nuclear dev: is intended purely for meeting their internal energy needs..Since we are already a nuclear power with vested furture interests...we went with the tide...as simple as that...
