I also don't like wordy and futile articles, but I hope the author won't take it negatively, and will rather develop on his/her writing as well as give/put valid thought to her articles. Respectfully, Shihgiz ps ...and thank you Maricula, I did have a wonderful weekend!! Abdulgamid,

Are you seirously posing this ingenious question..? Look around, when did the dirty geopolitical game and human rights didnt intertwine in this world? The come hand in hand. Ugh, some of the crap i read on this website is just hideous, unfortunately, and just makes me angry. If you are going to write, please brush up on your analytical skills. “Why then mix up geopolitics and human rights?” Are you seirously posing this ingenious question..?

Can you take those weapons away from them? I am afraid no. So, would it be wise to ignore one of the most threatening regime's intentions to acquire nuclear weapons? Probably not. Axis of evil included Iran, Iraq, and North Korea. Try to guess a common thing among these regimes? Were you able to think of one? Let me help you: aspiration to acquire nuclear weapons. All of these regimes are more prone to use these weapons (should they ever get hold of one) against their 'enemies' that include: Japan, South Korea, Turkey, Israel, USA, Saudi Arabia, etc. Earth would be a messy place to live with all these countries fighting each other and blogging may become just a sweet dream.

Assuming that survival is part of everyone's interest, it is right to say that Iran's "strong position" doesn't match not only the US interests but also the whole world's 'interests. Turkmenistan may be a bad country, but it is better when compared to Iran. Human rights promotion is at the core of the US foreign policy, but when you have a potential nuclear threat, you deal with that in the first place. Black and white assessment isn't wouldn't reflect the complex reality where you have to make decisions about matters with competing priorities.

Old & popular, but still good. 1. I do not agree Iran has a better democracy than Turkmenistan. We are doing far better than them, and even the west. In many countries including US, human rights is important only when it serves their interest. When its not, they just ignore it. Where is human rights in invading another country & killing thousands of innocent people for oil ??? At least we dont pretend... 2. What you are asking is called ''honesty''. If they had it, they would not be politicians. In greek Poly means many, tic means face. So, to be a ''true politician'' you have to have multiple faces/personalities... Very good point of view. Old & popular, but still good.

I do agree with your position to some extent. However, as experience has shown, the US tends to build strategic partnerships that serve their own national interest, and later on build on them in order to promote democracy and human rights in the countries they partnered with. That was the case in Romania in the early 90s... plenty of human rights abuses, plenty of communist legacies. The US hurried to jump into a partnership, and then USAID and other large American donors started injecting capital in democratizing Romania. Huge non-profit organizations that did wonderful human rights projects have been financed for years by American donors, in the last 15 years or so. A very thoughtful and honest entry.
