Is a new Zionist-NeoCon war on the horizon?
by James Buchanan
Iran is now being accused of kidnapping British sailors. The US was drawn into the Vietnam War thanks to a phony naval incident in the Gulf of Tonkin –an event the neocons may be attempting to duplicate in the Persian Gulf. A http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070323/ap_on_re_mi_ea/british_seized_iran reports “Naval forces of Iran’s hardline Revolutionary Guards captured 15 British sailors and marines at gunpoint Friday in the Persian Gulf — an audacious move coming during heightened tensions between the West and Iran. U.S. and British officials said a boarding party from the frigate HMS Cornwall was seized about 10:30 a.m. during a routine inspection of a merchant ship inside Iraqi territorial waters near the disputed Shatt al-Arab waterway. Iran’s Foreign Ministry insisted the Britons were operating in Iranian waters and would be held ‘for further investigation,’ Iranian state television said. A U.S. Navy official in Bahrain, Cmdr. Kevin Aandahl, said Iran’s Revolutionary Guard naval forces were responsible and had broadcast a brief radio message saying the British party was not harmed.”
Given the nearly infinite tendency to lie by both the Bush and Blair regimes, it’s a safe bet that the Iranians are telling the truth. The president of Iran Mahmoud Ahmadinejad canceled a planned trip to speak in front of the UN in regards to Iran’s nuclear energy program. The timing of this incident was clearly intended to make Iran look bad just as Ahmadinejad was scheduled to appear before the UN. Iran has the right to arrest anyone who trespasses into their territorial waters. The neocons are fully capable of “sacrificing” a few sailors to create a case for war. Ahmadinejad was going to give a speech at the UN to counter months of neocons lies, this latest incident seems tailor-made to fan the flames of war and to drown out the truth.
In recent years, Iran has begun to mine and process uranium. The first attempt to produce nuclear power in Iran was in the 1970s under the Shah of Iran, who was a puppet of the CIA. The Shah was overthrown before Iran’s nuclear reactors were finished. Iran has only recently made attempts to continue its earlier nuclear program, and the neocons are using every excuse in the book to criticize Iran and claim that any nuclear power program is really a secret nuclear weapons program.Behind this endless series of verbal attacks against Iran are Zionists and Israelis. To them, it’s unacceptable that Iran should have a nuclear energy program because of the remote possibility that Iran may carry out a stealth nuclear program just as Israel did in the 1960s and ’70s.
There are dozens of nations in the world, who have a peaceful nuclear energy program, but Americans have been brainwashed to think that it’s impossible to have a peaceful program without a nuclear bomb program too. It costs billions of dollars and takes years of research to develop atomic weapons. Even if Iran made the effort to make one atomic bomb, Israel reportedly has hundreds of hydrogen bombs. A few nuclear bombs in the hands of the Iranians would be nothing more than a deterrent so that Israel could not wipe Iran off the map without any consequences. If a war is waged by the West against Iran, it is to preserve Israel’s ability to utterly destroy their Muslim neighbors without fear of retaliation and nothing else.
Among the nations with nuclear reactors and no nuclear bombs are Germany, Japan and Italy. If the Axis powers from World War Two can be trusted with nuclear reactors, then why is it impossible to trust Iran? Why do the Zionists get to dictate nuclear policy to the world?
The neocons tell us that Iran can’t be trusted. But let’s compare Iran to Israel in recent decades. The only war Iran has fought since the fall of the Shah was the war against Iraq. The US had encouraged the Iraqis to go to war with their neighbor as punishment for overthrowing the CIA puppet government. Meanwhile, Israel has bombed most of their neighbors at least once in recent decades. Israel has invaded Lebanon twice since 1980. In the most recent invasion, Israel systematically destroyed civilian housing giving -at best- a phone call to imminent victims of Israeli aggression. Israel reportedly committed a mass murder in Jenin just a few years ago. The Israelis refused to let UN inspectors examine the ruins of the Jenin refugee camp to investigate the charges of mass murder.
The truth is that Israel is responsible for most of the warfare in the Middle East. Israel has repeatedly launched sneak attacks on their neighbors (and even their friends –for example the USS Liberty). If any nation in the Mid East should NOT have nuclear weapons, that nation is Israel. The fact that the Israeli Lobby and neocons in the Bush regime are threatening war over a nuclear energy program in Iran exposes how paranoid and undeserving of power these lunatics are.
Americans need to start voting out of power any politician who takes orders from the Israeli Lobby. Any politician who voted for the war on Iraq should be in jail, not in office. George Washington warned Americans to avoid foreign entanglements. That includes allowing our government to be infested with pro-Zionists and completely intimidated by the Israeli Lobby.
