A Silly Pretext
By Democracy and Socialism
04/23/06 "Democracy
and Socialism" -- -- No Arab or Islamic
country armed even with the smallest of atomic bombs will be
ready to hit Israel. And that, is because Israel is a small
country interwoven and surrounded by Palestinian and Arab
nations.
The explosion of an atomic bomb will kill the Palestinians and
Arabs too. The radio-active fallout will reach the entire
Middle-East including Iran itself.
Thus the brawl surrounding the danger of the atomic Iran against
Israel is silly and is only a pretext to attack that country,
similar to the lies about the existence of Weapons of Mass
Destruction in Iraq before colonizing it.
Iran is an oil and gas rich giant that connects the Caspian Sea
oil and gas resources to the huge Persian Gulf petroleum fields.
The most rabid think-tanks of the US imperialism insist that who
ever controls this area will retain its supremacy over other
imperialists or future emerging powers.
That is why before boiling so much ado about Iran, the US
Government planned to attack this country even before the March
2003 invasion of Iraq.
According to an article by William Arkin – a former US
intelligence analyst –which was published in the Washington
Post, on April 16th, 2006, there was a plan named TIRANNT, an
acronym for “Theatre Iran Near Term”.
In September 2000, one year before the 9-11, a document written
by the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) , a
think-tank staffed by some of the Bush Presidency leading
figures, said: America needed a blueprint for maintaining US
global pre-eminence, precluding the rise of a great power-rival,
and shaping the international security order, in line with
American principles and interests – namely the big companies and
not the people’s interests.
The same idea was headlined by the Wall Street Journal, just
before the start of the war on Iraq, as “President’s Dream:
Changing Not Just Regime But A Region, A Pro-US, Democratic Area
Is A Goal That Has Israeli And Neo-Conservative Roots.” (March
21st, 2003).
In other words, the region must be divided into small
protectorate states, hostile to each other, policed by atomic
holder Israel, ready to be exploited to the end.
But the events in Iraq turned otherwise. People do not want to
be enslaved!
