The future of any nation greatly depends on its energy resource--energy as well as the shrewdness of its utilization being a truest indicator of a nation's wealth. The way a nation treats (its need for) energy determines its own life and how other nations will relate to it. This may be a sorry fact, but that's the way how the cowboyish world is being run, when peace is placed between two smoking guns.
Whether or not a nation's name remains written on or will be swept away from the International Map must connect with it. Nuclear energy, like globalization itself, has been here to stay, and so it would take a very naïve leader to ignore its importance. What Iraq has beneath its soil is energy that can power the entire world for hundreds of year, but what has happened to it?
So I feel sorry for the Jakarta Post's article today which instead of focusing on substance chose to impart its biased opinions. It is still a world of perceptions we live in, of course, but why not let readers shape their own? Would be more enlightening for the readers to hear what Ahmadinejad had to say about the US and the West, rather than to be concocted with sentiments as to how they should view this president, and their own.
