Thanks Neno! There we go - they are telling us that security has to improve before anything can happen. I don't know if they could spell it out any plainer!

Security in the region? Like that is going to happen. It's about as likely as the whole region becoming rational thinking atheists overnight; not much of a chance there, I suspect. It is interesting to note China's movements; it appears they are very active, to say the least, in response to Russia and India's pipeline agreements that are, of course, leaving them out of the equation. By forgiving debt and forging reconstruction arrangements with Iraq, they are positioning themselves for an improved outlook on oil distribution in the future. And the beat goes on...

Security is indeed IMPERATIVE... and the perfect neighbor to pick up and heed such conditions to achieve success regardless of bombings from the Hamas Terror movement, is Israel and for that, the stumbling block or hurdle if you will, will show up in no time...

Can Iraq comply easily??? Which has more peace shown and desired for fairness and preventing effectively, internal turmoil? Iraq will have a tough hill to climb on this to prove it is politically ready and willing to put religious insanity aside!

It will be a long stride ...once again!!! :blueh::noserious
