Russian President Dmitry Medvedev

If Israel launches an air strike on Iran, Russia and China will remain neutral. Russia does not have a defensive posture against Israel nor do they have a defense agreement with Iran, so their concern is more of a preoccupation for the sensible issue of dealing with two archenemies which are both at the same time friends, share commercial ties and are in good standing with Russia. According to "www.huffingtonpost.com" on the September 20, 2009 article "No Iran Strike Planned by Israel, Medvedev Says" by Jim Heintz: ---Quote--- In an interview with CNN television broadcast Sunday, Medvedev also confirmed that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a secret visit to Moscow this month that included a meeting with the Russian president.In a transcript of the interview released by the Kremlin, Medvedev hedges on the question of whether Russia would support Iran if it were attacked by Israel.

Although Russia has no defense agreement with Iran "this does not mean we would like to be or will be indifferent to such an occurrence. This is the worst thing that can be imagined," Medvedev said of a potential Israeli strike."What would happen after that? Humanitarian disaster, a vast number of refugees, Iran's wish to take revenge – and not only upon Israel, to be honest, but upon other countries as well.

Regarding the sensible issue between Israel and Iran, China´s response will likely be even more cautious than Russia. Here is why.... According to "www.ishitech.co.il" on the February, 2007 issue of "Israel gh-Tech & Investment Report": ---Quote--- Israel-China trade climbed nearly 30% in 2006, to $3.8 billion, and is expected to reach $5 billion this year, catapulting China to the position of Israel's No.

2 trading partner, second only to the U.S... ..The Chinese are interested in more than just military hardware.As with many countries, Israel has been flooded with imports of Chinese consumer goods and textiles in recent years. But moving in the other direction, hundreds of Israeli high-tech, chemical and agricultural technology companies have seen exports to China boom. ---/Quote.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
