585Une retombée intéressante du voyage de Barack Obama en Inde, du moins dans le commentaire de Stephen Kinzer, du Boston Globe, le 13 novembre 2010. Après les références aux embrassades multiples entre BHO et les Indiens, Kinzer signale que l’Inde a clairement signifié à Washington son opposition à la politique iranienne des USA.
En fait, les critiques, la position et l’action de l’Inde vis-à-vis de Washington sur cette question rejoignent à peu près celles de la Turquie… Un argument de plus pour apprécier les bruyantes exclamations de nos stratèges et experts sur la folle politique d’isolement de la Turquie, par ses prises de position sur l’Iran. Vision très occidentaliste et américaniste de la notion d’“isolement”.
«This week in New Delhi, President Obama went further than any of his predecessors toward embracing India as an ally, and most Indians are thrilled by this warm treatment. This does not mean, however, that the two countries will align all of their foreign policies. In some areas, India would like the United States to change its approach.
»One key difference is over Iran. India has the wiser policy, and Obama should consider emulating it.
»Despite some changes in atmospherics, Obama’s approach to Iran has been remarkably similar to the one President George W. Bush took in his second term: don’t bomb Iran, but continue to threaten that “all options are on the table’’; steadily intensify economic sanctions, despite ample evidence that they weaken civil society and lavishly enrich the repressive Revolutionary Guard; insist on negotiations on the nuclear issue, but refuse to broaden the agenda to include issues that concern Iran.
»India, like many other regional powers, takes the Iranian threat far less seriously than the United States does. It does not see Iran as an existential threat to anyone, but rather as just another thuggish country with resources, and wants to see it enticed back into the world’s mainstream. India would like the United States to adopt a more accommodating policy toward Iran — and could even serve as the bridge that makes it possible.
»One of Iran’s other neighbors, Turkey, has already tried this approach. Turkish leaders have urged the United States to ratchet down its anti-Iran rhetoric, seek compromise instead of confrontation, and work to address Iran’s concerns in an effort to draw it out of its isolation. The Obama administration has rejected this advice. Now it’s India’s turn to try.»
