Iran can’t be treated like N.Korea
There are two countries the US seems to be fed up with, Iran and North Korea (no George, ‘Putin’ is not the name of a country). While the reasons of getting fed up seem quite the same – namely, quest for nuclear power/missile capability – the fact is that Iran should not and must not be treated by Obama at the same level of North Korea, a mistake he seems to be committing with his recent comments against the elections in Iran.
A comparative analysis exemplifies that there is a big contrast in these two countries and Obama must respect Iran for the same. Firstly, Iran’s constructive involvement in regional development is unquestioned. Iran has strong leadership in the Middle East. North Korea has almost never contributed constructively to regional issues, leave alone global. Iran is a founder and active member of many regional as well as international bodies like UN, NAM, OIC and OPEC; while North Korea – a derelict member of NAM – has always isolated itself. Freedom of expression, though controlled sporadically, is generally found at ease in Iran. Try that in Korea. Iran believes in socialistic capitalism – Iran has 10% of world’s oil reserves, and commands production respect.
