The Real Nuclear Threat

The head of state of a powerful nation at an international conference today declared that there is a nation that poses a huge threat to peace in its 'almost unconditional' use of force in the world, as well as its encouragement of other countries to acquire nuclear weapons. This nation has plans to develop more missile defence systems throughout the world. He further declared that the world is 'witnessing an almost uncontained hyper use of force in international relations' and that 'one state has overstepped its national borders in every way.'

Was this international leader speaking of North Korea or Iran, two nations that have been the topic of daily reports and editorials with respect to the question of nuclear power? It was neither Iran nor North Korea that provoked this criticism. It was the United States.

In a security forum in Munich today, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared that: 'This is very dangerous, nobody feels secure anymore because nobody can hide behind international law.' The word 'hide' in this context carries the implication of great fear and helplessness. International law should act as a shield for the less powerful or helpless, but one should not be required actually to 'hide' from aggression behind it.

The path that the U.S. has taken since the attacks of 11 September cannot be justified by any foreign threat, international events or the policies of any foreign power. Moreover, the U.S. government has concentrated too much power in the hands of the Executive Branch. It has become possible now for George Bush and his inner circle to engage in new wars and increase U.S. participation in existing wars AGAINST the will of the people as well as the will of the judiciary and the legislature.

Having invaded Iraq pursuant to spurious threats to the U.S. that had no foundation in reality, Bush is determined to send more troops into Iraq as cannon fodder, despite domestic opposition to this plan on all fronts.

Furthermore, the same sort of media propaganda that encouraged Bush's invasion of Iraq now is encouraging a 'military strike' against Iran. Evidently the fact that Iran never has posed any threat to the U.S. is immaterial.

The fact that the President of Iran has cast doubts upon the 'Holocaust' is sufficient. Not only has the Jewish 'Holocaust' been elevated to the position of unquestionable religious dogma, but it now is a justifiable casus belli!

Again and again, Zionists proclaim that Iran must be attacked because 'they doubt the Holocaust AND they want nuclear power.' No one appears to be concerned by the fact that there IS a real threat to world peace in the form of the Zionist entity, a 'Nation' that has possessed nuclear power for decades and has expressed the full intention to use it should it feel such action to be necessary.

The Zionist entity refuses to sign the 'Non-Proliferation Treaty'. 'Israel', having stolen nuclear secrets and components from the U.S., proceeded to create and test its nuclear weapons without regard to international law or the interests of world peace. In fact, the old apartheid regime of South Africa was the main partner of the Zionist entity in its nuclear programme.

Bush created his 'axis of evil' as future targets of U.S. aggression when he first assumed the presidency of the United States. He has proceeded to widen the scope of American military interference in the world inexorably, and there is no doubt that he is willing to sacrifice any number of lives and all principles of justice and law in pursuit of his goals. Taking the Zionist entity as his model of conduct, he creates his own facts to support his plans and is unembarrassed when his deceit is exposed.

Zionist interests are served by weakening all other potential strong governments in the region. First Iraq, now Iran... and it would be a mistake to forget that Syria is on the list as well. Hostility between the Arab Nation and its ancient rival Iran is encouraged by U.S./Zionist agents as any possibility that Iran and the Arab Nation might unite in opposition to the Zionist/American programme could spell ruin to the future of the Zionist entity. Iran unfortunately has placed its own personal ambitions above any considerations of creating a strong Arab-Iranian alliance against a common foe. It is not too late, however, for Iran to demonstrate good faith and to disavow any personal ambitions towards control of any part of the Arab Nation.

As far as the Arab Nation is concerned, blood-letting may remove poison from a body but ultimately it will weaken the body to the point of death. It is time to find a position that would allow Unity without sacrificing the cause of Arab Nationalism. Otherwise, while Iran and the Arab Nation both fall prey to Zionist machinations and the continuing aggression of the U.S. and its international allies, it is only the Zionist entity that will benefit.
