Iran, Brazil, Turkey, America and World Opinion

"To the world today, the United States appears enraged that Iran is responding to America’s own offer, that it is we who do not want a peaceful resolution, that we and the Israelis are as hell-bent on war and 'regime change' in Iran as George W. Bush was on war and regime change in Iraq," says Patrick J. Buchanan — Take Iran’s Deal, Mr. President. "If the United States were to accept Iran’s counter-offer, it would be a diplomatic coup for Ahmadinejad," he writes, continuing: "Maybe that’s the problem. The powers that be don’t really want a deal with Iran. They want Iran smashed."

"Who do these politically awakened upstarts such as Brazil and Turkey think they are - daring to disturb 'our' rule of the world?" asks Pepe Escobar — Iran, Sun Tzu and the dominatrix. "And then uninformed Americans keep asking themselves 'Why do they hate us?' Because, among other reasons, unilateral to the core, Washington does not hesitate to lift its middle finger even to its closest friends."
