I actually have work today, much to my chagrin and disappointment. However, once again ripped from the headlines is something I had been trying to convince the liberals on Y!A of for months.
The real reason the triumvirate of France, Germany and Russia were against the Iraq war was because they were busy contracting with Iraq, Iran, and Syria to build nuclear power plants, modernize oil drilling and refining, sell weapons, and all kinds of profitable projects through their state run corporations.
Now the idea of UN sanctions against Iran may be brought before the UN Security Council... at the request of Iran.
Ahmadinejad wants to put Tehran's case for a nuclear program before the U.N. Security Council.
Why would Ahmadinejan possibly want to bring the Security Council into possible sanctions over his nuclear program? I'm sure the fact that Russia, who is building the plants for Iran, and has Security Council veto power has nothing to do with it. And since Russian has been selling MiG 27s and 31s to Iran, along with anti aircraft defense systems they don't want to be involved in any military conflict with their top of the line military equipment anytime soon.

And I'm sure the fact that the national oil company of France is in negotiations with Tehran over moderizing Iran's oil infrastructure has little to do with it. (Isn't France on the Security Council as well?) TOTAL wants to do more in Iran but is unwilling to do so until Iran sweetens the pot a little and gives more profit to the operators of the wells. Maybe showing a little love in the Security Council is all France will need in order for Iran to loosen their purse strings.

And for those who read the whole Iran Air Force page you also saw China is prominently mentioned as a supplier of defense equipment to Iran. Coincidently, they also sit on the Security Council.
And where does Germany play into the Iran scheme? In 2005 Germany was the single largest importer of Iranian exports (gas and oil) representing over 25% off all exports from Iran.
So if I'm Ahmadinejan I'd bring it to the Security Council as well. Two of my close allies who I have extensive business dealing with have veto power (three including China). That is better odds than you'd get in any casino in the world! I normally know better than to bet against the house but with the deck stacked in your favor like that how can you not go for it?
