“…It is the most absurd manifestation of irony that the single state who caused single nuclear catastrophe in a twin attack on our earth now has assumed the role of the prime preacher in the nuclear field while ever expanding its nuclear weapons capability…”
[Iran's Statement at IAEA Emergency Meeting, August 10, 2005]
it was speech of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei mentioning Hiroshima and Nagasaki - the first and last known use of nuclear weapon against civilians.
In Hiroshima: 45 000 died on the first day and a further 19 000 during the subsequent four months.
In Nagasaki :22 000 died on the first day and another 17 000 within four months.
I've been reading too much of politics today... It is difficult to just read it though...maybe I'm too impressionable and when I read about horrible things, I imagine these horrible things too vividly... I don't think though, that this is a bad thing. Bad thing would be - to be indifferent...World could've been much safer place if there would've been more of those, capable of understanding the conseguences of their actions...
So Bush administration is threatening to nuke Iran…Big boys, dangerous toys, eh? [~Sighs]…it seems that previous "game" wasn't educating after all...But wait, this is not about Nuclear Weapon threat at all...as WMD was never - with Iraq... There is that “strange” coincidence between Saddam Hussein, announcing in September 2001 that Iraq was no longer going to accept dollars for oil being sold under the UN's Oil-for-Food program, and decided to switch to the euro as Iraq's oil export currency and sudden Weapons of Mass Distraction gig. [And look – Surprise! – as validated in a Financial Times article dated June 5, 2003, which confirmed Iraqi oil sales returning to the international markets were once again denominated in U.S. dollars -- not euros…] As for Iran now…well, the Tehran government has announced plans to use …euro in international oil-trading. [sounds somewhat "familiar" now, not?] It may well be that the worst nightmares of current US administration begin to unfold in spring 2006, when it appears that international buyers will have a choice of buying a barrel of oil for dollars or for euros...and as a coincidence, of course, in August 2005 Philip Giraldi tells us about Pentagon's plan that includes a large-scale air assault on Iran employing both conventional and tactical nuclear weapons...and the most disturbing idea is that "the response is not conditional on Iran actually being involved in the act of terrorism directed against the United States". So, simply: lets nuke Iran anyway...
I've change my mind to write an entry about this, as I first intended...If I write a long political rant here, it would be just another political rant; there are millions of such out there. Just browse this space and do your own judging…it is frightening what could happened to the World if some lunatic decides to press The Red Button…it is equally frightening that the World tolerates lunatics in power...
"This notion that the United States is getting ready to attack Iran is simply ridiculous...Having said that, all options are on the table."
