Iran's Allies vs. Israeli Squatters Profits vs. settlements To some this comes as no surprise. Gone are all Israeli paeans To Ahmadinejad's allies, the Royal Dutch and South Koreans. They, along with several others, have let the profit motive tempt Them to treat the published sanctions as something from which they're exempt. How can the Royal Dutch Shell brass find compliance all that hard? Is there no risk a Mahmoud bomb won't find a dike and flood their yard? Can't they let Mahmoud develop Iran's oil fields on his own? Instead of help, why not advice? If he needs some, let him phone. Are bonuses for Shell execs worth more than Israeli lives And settlements whose mere existence is aggravating Mahmoud's hives? Ditto South Korea's Daelim, building gas and power plants. "We've lived for years with Kim Jung Il, so let Israelis take a chance." Aren't these views a trifle callous? Profits in exchange for toast, Not only around Tel Aviv, but here at home on either coast? So what will Congress do about it? What pronouncements will they utter? With Mitch's needle stuck on "No" who'll order in the peanut butter?
