If the U.S., Europe, India, Pakistan (and Israel, which has 200 nuclear warheads) can have weapons of mass destruction, why not Iran?

Only Iran has threatened to wipe another country off the face of the earth!

16.04.2006 11:42

Other countries may have nuclear weapons but only Iran has threatened to wipe another country off the face of the earth, not once but several times. Iran's president has verbally attacked Israel and America. Those verbal threats by Iran have no counterpart by any other state. On the contrary Israel with the backing of several arab states has offered the hand of peace to the Palestinians, it has gone out of its way to try to resolve the arab/Israeli conflict. No other state in the world has openly declared its hostilitly to another. America and Britain are right to take the threat possed by Iran very seriously and to take measures to stop it acquiring nuclear weapons.

>Other countries may have nuclear weapons but only Iran has threatened to wipe another country off the face of the earth, not once but several times.

Lie!
India's Bharatiya Janata Party(BJP) leaders have constantly vowed to "crush Pakistan" (in alliance with several other parties, BJP ruled the Government of India between 1998 and 2004.).

And don't forget that United States already "wiped out" two Japanese cities...

>Iran's president has verbally attacked Israel and America. Those verbal threats by Iran have no counterpart by any other state.

Even my neighbour would verbally attack Israel and United States. They are among the most hated nations in this world, and guess why. U.S. believe that they can invade countries, promote wars, kill people anywhere and be free of any retaliation. That's why two planes were stuffed in the WTC and expect more terrorism, since U.S. foreign policy didn't change a single milimeter. Terrorism is the poor's atomic bomb.

>On the contrary Israel with the backing of several arab states has offered the hand of peace to the Palestinians, it has gone out of its way to try to resolve the arab/Israeli conflict.

Oh sure. "Hand of peace" like that one Sharon offered, right? "Separation Wall", occupation of Palestinian territories, "selective" assassinations, air raids, military operation in high populated Palestinian areas...probably that's your idea of "solution" for Arab/Israeli conflict.

>No other state in the world has openly declared its hostilitly to another. America and Britain are right to take the threat possed by Iran very seriously and to take measures to stop it acquiring nuclear weapons.

Perhaps you must to read History books. There were many records on countries threatening others. Just pick one. But, as many trolls in Indymedia, you're just another ass-kisser of Israel and United States. Nothing new under the sun.

Ahmadinejad's days are numbered

The Iranian regime is a rotten old tree which will soon be annihilated by one storm.

STOP THE WAR ON IRAN

Unfortunately politicians are rarely killed in wars, it would be a good way of getting rid of them en mass.
The yankkkee tractor busters will be looking to wipe out as many innocent civilians as per the norm.

I think I usually use lower-case for all my name- here's my comment

Of course not the real twilight. Nym stealing is commonplace, and interesting. Frustrated bullet-headed thugs will do it just to lay down 'graffiti', and claim satiric comment (as above). Smarter (and more official) state thugs WILL contemplate using the name and style in a more sophisticated way, but are also aware of the dangerous consequences of promoting the importance of any individual by such an act.

I'm sure my IP address changes across time, and so does the IP address of many others that comment here. I don't like logging in to comment on political sites (Blair knows who we are regardless- I hope you have all been following the story from the US about all AT+T network centres feeding all internet traffic into government computers). I like that we have to PROVE who we are through our thoughts and words.

To make my position clear- I am against World Wars by being against those that manipulate circumstances in order to cause world wars. At this moment in our history, this includes the entire body of anti-Iran propaganda, and those that speak it, regardless of any attempt to justify this propaganda.

In OUR CURRENT WORLD, I would prefer Iran to have an effective nuclear deterrent, but Blair is working hard to ensure that the doctrine of M.A.D is eliminated, and that his proxy US force is willing to exterminate even nuclear armed nations. This is VERY important for Blair, for his final war is to be against China (all US military medium and long term planning is in anticipation of this war).

If the will of the German people had won through, and Hitler had been unable to cement his 'alliance' with the USSR by invading Poland, would the horrors of WW2 been avoided? Can WE avoid our World War by helping stop Blair from attacking Iran? Sadly, neither the Germans or us have ANY excuse for allowing things to reach such a point.

Today, Iran is allied with Blair, and is attempting to gain the weapons technologies that it believes will give its people long term security. Two facts that make many anti-Blair people so uncomfortable that they find themselves adopting positions that aid Blair without realising it. Blair uses his alliance with Iran to draw the US ever deeper into an insane situation, with the certainty that the US will reach a position where pushing forward seems to make more sense than pulling back.

Like Hitler's alliance with the USSR, Blair's alliance with Iran initially gives Iran serious military advantages. However, all Iran's gains are designed to be fully reversible. What is thus intended to be a temporary gain for Iran is to be a permanent gain for Blair.

In the end, Blair is no more likely to get the 'people' behind a World-War starting attack on Iran, than Hitler was able to do the same with Poland. But, like Hitler, Blair will soon do it regardless. We know that Blair and his people are back considering another 911 meme (consider the imminent arrival of 'United 93' and think about the film a 60's Greengrass would have made ON THE SAME TOPIC had Blair been in power back then, and OPERATION NORTHWOODS therefore went into execution, leading to the extermination of Cuba). However, the Iranians are aware that their contact with Blair could be used to gather intelligence to allow him to blame them for another such false-flag.

Life could be easy. Spring for me begins on that first day when one notices the consequences of the sun lifting the aromatic aromas from the new blooms (more poetic to experience than to describe). To be free enough to notice and truly care about such things is our birthright as Humans. True evil, however, measures pleasure by the sum total of Humans denied it. Such evil states that one can only truly take pleasure in Spring if your bulldozers have recently crushed the blooms of your 'enemy'. Such evil states that clean running water is only to be appreciated if your armies have bombed and polluted and destroyed the facilities of those that you have power over.

This "no pleasure for you without pain for others" doctrine that Blair and his followers preach is fundamental to understanding the nature of the specific SUPREME evil that Blair acts for on this Earth. A good person finds themselves intoxicated by the perfume of a flower, and at that moment wishes that every person could be sharing that wonderful experience. Blair, and his followers, require that THEY are the GATEKEEPERS of all such pleasures, and that only those that worship at their perverted church of rape, torture, and mass-murder are allowed these privileges. While it may be hard to prevent anyone from attending to a Spring bloom, Blair knows that he can put such hurt into the heart of a surving Human, that all potential pleasure becomes unbearable painful memory.

It is a shameful fact that the formal membership of the BNP (regardless of its State control) represents but a tiny proportion of those in the UK racist enough not to care if Iran is genocided, because the people there are 'black' and 'alien'. However, the racism of the braindead is not what Iran needs fear. Those that truly threaten Iran are not stupid enough to believe their own propaganda (any more than was the case with Iraq). Blair is no racist. No supremely evil person ever is (racism is moronic, which is why Israel is the most racist state on this Earth).

"Other countries may have nuclear weapons but only Iran has threatened to wipe another country off the face of the earth"

Right, and while Iran responds to intended Aggression against it, Israel actually destroys Palestine, and the US makes war at will.

Pathetic To Watch This Play Out - Again.
