Iran – Conquest Ahoy!
I was flipping through the channels, found a news story, listened to it for 3 minutes, got pissed off, and turned the television back to Cartoon Network. So, I wrote this.
So, from all of the talk about nuking/attacking Iran (Clinton, McCain, Obama, numerous other politicians) as well as the same sentiment coming from Israel, Iran has decided to now strategically begin missile testing!
Okay.
Guess what the official report basically is? Straight from the Iranian government- ‘We feel threatened’.
The United States has forced a country that was not pursuing, proven through intense investigation, any sort of nuclear arms programs, to become cautiously hostile. I wouldn’t doubt that the U.S. will turn this into a “threat” on our national security and use it as further reason to invade.
Countries are so terrified of being invaded and investigated for having nuclear weapons that we, the United States, corner them into developing nuclear arms just to defend themselves. It’s kind of like Ron Paul said quite some time ago, asking the moderator of the debate, ‘who could really blame them?’ We corner them, giving them absolutely no choice, fight or be taken over. It’s pretty clean cut.
If I were a country that had just recently been investigated and found entirely innocent of nuclear arms possession with absolutely no chance of deceiving the investigators and the most influential country in the world couldn’t get off the pedestal of “BOMB THEM”…. I’d start a nuclear arms program right away.
America politics is f***ed up and neither McCain nor Obama has the sense or desire to form a solid foreign policy.
“Iran said today it had test-fired a long-range missile capable of reaching Israel and U.S. troops in the region, a step promptly condemned by the Bush administration as heightening tensions over the country’s suspected nuclear weapons program. ” – Washington Post
“Suspected nuclear weapons program”? Looks like everyone needs to READ the NIE report, compiled from 16 American intel divisions. Iran gave up their nuclear weapons program from 2003 to, at least, December 2007, concluded the report.
Funny, if Iran all-of-a-sudden blasts a nuclear weapon off, it means that they developed it within the past 7 months, about the time that the whole ‘we should bomb Iran’ mentality started gaining popularity.
