China calls for talks to resolve Iran crisis
China called on Thursday for negotiation to defuse a standoff over Iran's nuclear ambitions, saying there was still room for cooperation.

Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing, speaking on the sidelines of the annual full session of parliament, said China supported European Union and Russian engagement to resolve the nuclear crisis.

"On the Iran nuclear issue, yesterday (IAEA director Mohamed) ElBaradei said the problem should be solved through peaceful negotiations," Li told reporters. "That makes sense. There is still room for cooperation... We support EU and Russian engagement with Iran."

5. Given DUH-bya's crews' track record,
It would be one more huge fuck up. We reaaly don't need one on that scale.

There would have to be a draft, and we can't afford to bankroll another lunatic trip to "liberate" anybody.


"that would be cool with me"

Another theater of U.S. terror, or China selling them nucular stuff?

That and I'm pretty sure that China wants to avoid a nuclear war.

6. I wonder how they feel that their debtor

(us) is going bankrupt over a misguided adventure in the Middle East (Iraq & Afgh.).

Shouldn't they be telling us what to do by now? After all, we owe China $400 billion and Japan $600 billion bucks.

I'm surprised they don't come out and start lecturing Washington.

Hey Rummie, if you'd quit talking like a drunk cowboy on a lynching party, maybe the world would stop hating us.

Oh, I forgot, they hate us for our freedoms. :puke:

11. ***PETITION TO SIGN: NO WAR WITH IRAN ***
Hello,

For the past year, the growing tensions mounting between the US, Israel, and Iran are reaching a point where military action against Iran is w/in months of becoming reality. The repercussions are terrifying as such military action could involve countries such as China and Russia as they share massive energy/economic interests w/ Iran. The most likely scenario we would face would be the collapse of the US economy as the combination of a massive rise in oil prices and a run on the US dollar would surely be the weapon many countries would use to fight back against a preemptive US or Israeli strike.

For a collection of articles and resources on this subject you can visit this link: http://reseaudesign.com/research/iran/iran_summery.html

I'm starting up a petition which I will be sending out to as many members of Congress as possible. I'm asking for help to get this signed by as many people, possible in the next month. Send it to as many people you can.

Also, here is another petition you can sign from another group:

Thanks for your time
