The Dangerous Reality of War With Iran Will Humble All the Proponents!
Lies And Ego will cost lives!
One has to be objective and realistic and analyze the facts of a case without letting their judgment be affected by emotion or fear or paranoia. But, also, one has to be realistic.
Donald Trump is our President. He has to look at ALL the things and then decide what is truly good for America. As he said many times, he wants to put America first.
No? You don't agree?
I am not one that would distort facts to promote my own agenda. I would admit the facts about Iran and her nuclear program. Yes, I admit it is not all about building nuclear weapons. But I do try to be realistic.
The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) known commonly as the Iran deal or Iran nuclear deal reached in Vienna on 14 July 2015 between Iran, and the International P5+1 was based on International fears that Iran is or attempting to build nuclear weapons. Even if you argue that it was for a different reason, I would say that the fear of the International community was actually there - even if the fear was based on Israeli lobbists as some liberals would argue and they claim that it was all based on fake and false threats. Even if they are correct, my issue with Iran is something else.
Under the agreement, Iran agreed to eliminate its stockpile of medium-enriched uranium at their civilian nuclear power station, cut its stockpile of low-enriched uranium by 98%, and reduce by about two-thirds the number of its gas centrifuges for 13 years which they were using for enrichment to feed their civilian non-weaponized program. For the next 15 years, Iran will only enrich uranium up to 3.67%, far less than the 95% you need to build nuclear weapons. Iran also agreed not to build any new heavy-water facilities for the same period of time. Uranium-enrichment activities will be limited to a single facility using first-generation centrifuges for 10 years. Other facilities will be converted to avoid proliferation risks. To monitor and verify Iran's compliance with the agreement, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will have regular, highly flexible access to ALL Iranian nuclear facilities. The agreement provides that in return for verifiably abiding by its commitments, Iran will receive relief from U.S., European Union, and United Nations Security Council nuclear-related economic sanctions. But not other sanctions imposed and enforced by the U.S. Congress.
I will go further and admit that the nuclear program of Iran has in 1970, ratified the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), making its nuclear program subject to International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) verification. Also willing to concede that there is no evidence ever, other than fake C.I.A. bomb briefcases that were sent to Iran to implicate them, that Iran is building a nuclear bomb or has built a nuclear bomb.
There are many that argue that Iran has not broken any international laws with regards to its nuclear program for generating electricity. Those same people argue that Iran is the only country on earth that has agreed to the most severe stringent inspections - more than any other country in the history of NPT. I actually agree with this, but won't get into all the details why Iran had to do that, at this point.
The same people also argue, and I would admit it is correct in all aspects, that other countries such as Israel, Pakistan, and India have developed nuclear weapons without signing any aspect or limitations of the NPT, and that there are no sanctions against them, (except insignificant sanctions agaist Pakistan) and never has been, no demonization of their country by the Western media and western politicians and the U.S. Congress (as is the case with Iran), no threat of invasion or bombing (as each U.S. President declared, "All Options Are On The Table", for the past 16 years), and no U.S. sanctions against their people, their currency, their trade, their defense industry, their medical and pharmaceutical industry, or their civilian airliners. Most of these have now been lefted against Iran although the U.S. Congress is trying to look at these again certainly with respects to Iran's Revolutionary Guard.
All this I grant you. It is true. I will not attempt to deny that all of these are correct depiction and that I will even go further and admit publically that what is being done to Iran is, plain and simple - DISCRMINATION - to serve the interests of Israel which has had one single policy since 1948 and that is, distraction, distraction, distraction, distraction, and more distraction. From reminding us every 10 minutes of holocaust every time they kill Palestinians or want to take more land from one of its neighbors, or their apartheid treatment of the civilians in Gaza. I am not a supporter of Israel nor do I believe that they should retain the land that does not belong to them. The land rightfully belongs to Palestinians and they have to give it back - and as history has proven - they will BE MADE to give it back eventually. But Iran is a different case.
Some liberals in U.S. and most politicians around the world argue that Iran has rights too. They suggest that denying Iran's rights will make Iranians even more angry at injustice towards their country and being a proud nation with 7,000 years of history they will not accept bullying and will not accept being treated like a slave nation bowing to the demands of the gang of bullies (as they refer to U.S., Britain, and France). Many countries in Asia, Africa, Central America, South America, and even Middle East are sympathetic towards Iran and the fact that Iran is being subjected to discrimination and unfairly treated compared to any other nation in history of our planet regarding nuclear electricity production. They see JCPOA as a means to hold Iran back while strengthening Israel to kill Arabs and rob their lands.
Historians are quick to throw in our face that it was Dick Cheney and the neo-cons (as they call neo-conservatives) that forced the U.S. puppet government of the Shah of Iran to build nuclear plants and they themselves, as did Dick Cheney, made intense recommendations to the Shah that he MUST have enrichment as it makes no sense to have nuclear energy production without the fuel cycle - it's like building a modern car and using a horse to pull it around the streets.
And of course there are many Internet commentators and bloggers who point to the hypocrisy and double-standards of the West to punish Iran for a law that Iran has not broken and that Iran is being accused and convicted as the only nation ever being punished without any evidence of any wrong doing while U.S. is quietly helping South Korea and Brazil build nuclear weapons and protect Israel from any sanctions for its 200-400 nuclear weapons built through technology transfer by France and fissile materials provided by the British, shipped through Norway.
So is that all liberals can offer regarding the against Iran's nuclear program being legitimate and their right to having nuclear power for generating electricity for their country?
There's more? Bring it on.
So you would even further argue, as many of my friends do during a debate with me on this subject, that Iran's nuclear program is not linked to any weapons programs as so indicated by every legitimate International organization, even by the U.S. government and its security agencies and its National Security Council representing a dozen American and European security and intelligence agencies - ALL suggesting that Iran has not yet decided to build nuclear weapons and currently has no nuclear weapons program.
These same friends argue that even if Iran put its hands up in the air, and said I will stop all peaceful nuclear electricity production, through away $10 billion of investment in nuclear electricity generation for the last 40 years, give up its rights under NPT, give up its rights as a soverign nation, hand over all of its nuclear scientists to the West to execute them, and meet all the demands that United Nations makes regarding Iran's nuclear program - STILL the U.S. will not be happy and will find another silly excuse like human rights or some other bogus propaganda claim to put pressure on Iran as it has since the 1953 Coup by the CIA against Iranian people, overthrowing democracy under Mossadegh and replacing it with fascism, in order to control Iranian oil and gas supplies.
Secular Iranians who are quick to remind you that they are not brain washed by western media claim that even if Iran is turned into the most democratic, most secular, and most peaceful nation on earth, the U.S. will still find another excuse to demonize Iran and its government (and even her people indirectly through media racism) in order to overthrow the government of Iran as they did in 1953 with the democratic government of Dr. Mossadegh, in order to replace the government with a dictatorship controlled and beholden to the U.S. as was the Shah, and is the case with the monarchy of Saudi Arabia, the British-accent speaking King of Jordan, Mobarak of Egypt for 30+ years, Gaddafi for 42 years, Saddom Hussein throughout 1970s and 1980s while he was butchering 5,000 kurdish men, women, and children with gas supplied to him by France and Germany with germ agents provided to him by U.S. government and the CDSC (Center for Disease Control).
United States, they claim wants every country to be their obedient bitch and if they refuse to accept this offer they will be demonized, threatened, sanctioned, and eventually bombed. The rest, they claim, is window dressing and ignorant Americans will go along and believe any horse crap that their government feeds them through western media.
How many times I have heard the utter nonsense that every American who has ever visited Iran, ended up falling in love with the generosity, kindness, and humility of the Iranian people living in Iran. I for one, have met many Iranians in Los Angeles and yet to find one who does not want U.S. to bomb his/her country so that they can go back and get a ministerial job or even become a president after hiding in U.S. for the last 40+ years.
If people argue that western media lies about Iran all the time, I would remind them that Iranians in the West are their country's worst enemies since they are the ones that feed lies to the Western politicians in order to get sympathy for living out here instead of back in their country.
I have met countless numbers of Iranian refugees living in U.S. who go back to Iran twice a year. Yet, when I ask them if they don't fear for their life, for instance for being a Bahai faithful, they remind me that, "... Ahhh we say those things to American officials so we can get refugee status and get $3,000 a month from the U.S. government and then we can work under table doing house cleaning or catering service from home and make $5,000 per month and every 6 months we go back to Iran to buy a brand new home for $30,000". Homes in Iran's suburbs cost very little.
The truth is that Iran for 300 years has not attacked another country. It is a peaceful country with a long tradition of culture, literature, poetry, warmth, kindness, and generosity. It has a rich history and, most importantly, it has the fourth highest oil reserves and the second highest gas reserves in the world.
Since Iranian people are not united and they themselves are their own worse enemies, then it should be fair game for all the hyenas in the world to feast upon its carcasses. The Islamic Republic of Iran is not the best government nor the worst government in the world. Take a look at U.S.'s best friends in middle east. In Saudi Arabia women have not been born yet since they are not even allowed to have birth certificates and if they want to go outside of the house, they have to get permission from their 7 year old boy. In Iran, women are CEOs of companies, have equal land ownership rights, and get paid all of their parents retirement payments while they are single - wouldn't every American women dream of having that privilege?
So, let's for a minute try to understand what does Iran want?
Independence. They keep telling us but we are not listening. They want Independence from the West and want to be free from being demonized.
What do we want here in Americ with respects to Iran?
No independent country in the Middle East, or if we could help it, in the whole world actually.
United States of America believes in one thing and one thing only: To serve our interests at anyone else's expense. Period.
Iranians have always wanted to be free - free from the Western bullying, western manipulation, and western humiliation. Here is their chance. The unjust treatment of Iran should give them a chance to unite and fight for their rights against the gang of bullies and the injustice and hypocrisy of the West and its useless institutions such as the United Nations. Iranian people should not be fooled by the bull crap that is fed to the world about the West. Every American is subject to NSA phone call interception while most live to work 5 or 6 days a week and have little to show for it at the end of the month, after they paid all their bills. Afterall why did they vote for Donald Trump? I find it strange that at a time that U.S. has the lowest unemployment rate for 70 years during the last 6 months of Obama, they were complaining about jobs and salaries and voted Trump into office.
There is no International Law - but only International Lawlessness. Iranians should learn that. International court of justice? hah. United Nations? All exist to avoid having a "real" and "legitimate" international organization that serves as the chariot for "Justice and Equality for every citizen and every nation on earth" - including Iran and Iranian people.
Think about it ... Justice and Equality for every citizen and every nation on earth.
The truth is America and its gang of bullies believe in dog pack mentality. In the dog pack, there is a leader (alpha male), a second in command, a third in command, etc. all the way down the chain. The scraps get divided along the order of the packing order of the dogs, with the first going to the top dog - the United States of America. Everybody else get the left over. Everybody else who do not want to be part of the pack automatically become a sacrificial lamb and will be slaughtered and passed along the ranks for feasting.
But what the Americans, the Brits, the French and the so called United Nations do not understand is that Iran is not a dog. It is a persian cat. Cats cannot belong to a pack of dogs.
They can put pressure on Iran all they want. It will only make Iranians hate American and its gang of bullies for generations, as they have in the past. This hatred will become deeper and deeper. As more and more Iranians wake up and realize that all their suffering is due to the Western desire to have Iran become its bitch, its obedient slave, they will unite more, they will rise to the challenge, and they will eventually win their freedom from western prejudice, injustice, bullying, hypocrisy, and double-standards. Anyone who believes this will not happen, would probably believe that the Islamic Republic of Iran did not oust the Shah puppet government in Iran. And they are wrong.
Any win against Iran is temporary. It will not last. Iran will endure. It will win in the long run. The west cannot make Iranian people give up their desire for freedom from the West and its oil and gas companies. After almost 40 years of injustice and demonization of Iran, more and more Iranians today support the Islamic Republic of Iran that they did many years ago. What unite Iranians is their love for the country - something expert advisors to President Obama, Bush, and Clinton could not convey to them and they could not quite understand it since they only know Iranian traitors in Los Angeles, like the MEK People's Mujahedin. Trump has no desire to even listen to experts. He just wants to make America great again. The evidence speaks for itself.
Keep putting pressure on Iran. Don't stop. Don't hesitate. Create lofty organizations and call them, "The New Project for Iran Freedom and Democracy". All these bull crap titles, fake organizations supporting overthrowing of a government and all they do is proof - that there is no international law, and United States of America WILL NOT ALLOW ANY COUNTRY TO LIVE THEIR LIVES BASED ON THEIR PEOPLE'S ASPIRATIONS. They must fall into the pack of dogs or suffer the consequences of demonization, threats, sanctions, and eventually ... war.
But they do. Iran wants to live their lives based on their own ASPIRATIONS. Nothing we can do to change that, but only we can delay the inevitable.
Iran is however different. Don't take my word for it. Take a look at their history. Their people are ultra patriots. You'll see when the war starts. You were warned.
In the words of Hillary Mann, "there is no way that an independent country (Iran) is going to negotiate their internal political order with a hostile power (U.S.), no way."
