So you're saying we should drop Saudi Arabia and put them in bed with the Russians and the Chinese because 'FeElInGs?'
No, I'm saying you're deeply unintelligent.
Also, remember when you said the "EU vowed to protect Saddam?" What is the point of lies like that which could be easily googled, especially when you already have a reputation for dishonesty? I'm sincerely interested in how you think these things will work out.
That was how it was reported here at the time.
The reailty is that there was some backchannel diplomacy going on to grant Saddam asylum in Europe and/or Russia.
That they wanted Hans Blix to finish his inspections and that they didn't want war in Iraq. Except for Tony Blair, who considered it the next Crusade.

Anyhow, my original point being that even if EU people show up in Teheran like they did in Kiev it doesn't fucking matter.
When the $700 billion military deploys for OPERATION PERSIAN FREEDOM and the US must come together to support their troops it doesn't matter what sort of protections the EU has pledged.
EU protections aren't worth anything. The EU actually has 5 semi-occupied terrorities.
- Half of Cyprus is still occupied by the Turks
- New EU ally Ukraine is partly occupied by Russia (I will not say half, that would be lying because it is less than half than the landmass)
- Candidate member Moldova has a Russian rebel state within its borders
- EU member Georgia is occcupied 1/5th by the Russians
- Candidate member Montenegro managed to barely prevent a Russian sponsored coup
So I'm not sure how the EU will protect anything with regards to Iran if they can't protect the territory that they actually control.
If the US was less involved in the ME and the situation were roughly what it is at this point (a series of sectarian conflicts being stoked by two rival oil-producing regional powers), would we look at it and say "hell yeah let's pick a side and get involved in this shit"?
That was mostly what it was until Clinton in between blowjobs poked the hornets nest with a cruise missile and missed.
