My job requires wide ranging in-depth research of the issues from various sources. I don’t rely on the Western media nor should others. I never cease to be surprised at how some continue to believe the Western media despite their constantly being caught telling lies, distorting the truth, and of course telling only half the story. Every war, the same old fibs but some have either a short memory or prefer the comfort of self delusion.
A case in point is the illegal and, contrary to the UN mandate, overthrow of the Libyan government and seizure of that nation’s wealth. They don’t even try to cover up, let alone excuse the rape of that country. Where are all the BBC, CNN and other reporters now; the battles; murder and mayhem are still going on? There is no need for them; they achieved their objective, softening up the folk back home for NATO’s invasion and looting. Such is their arrogance. How long since Iran (Persia) threatened, invaded or attacked any country?
Facts; Iran does not have any nuclear weapons; there is no proof that it is intent on making them; the dispute is over the matters of inspection. Would you be totally transparent to a body that sanctioned the overthrow of Libya and now Syria? Furthermore Iran’s military capability simply doesn’t need nuclear weapons to defend itself; its legitimate ICBMs are sufficient. Nuclear weapons would be militarily superfluous to requirements.
On the hand, Israel is fly-swatting size (an eighth the size of Florida); it has repeatedly threatened and invaded its neighbours, it has a nuclear arsenal second only to that of the U.S. It constantly threatens to annihilate Iran despite the latter never having other than pledged to defend itself. Just who are the rogue nations?
I think my friend, if you saw two bull mastiffs and a poodle savaging a woman shopper you would run to assist the dogs. Before you say it; Iran’s president never did say they would ‘wipe Israel off the map.’ This was a distortion (surprise, surprise). What did he say that over time, like Communism, it would evaporate, which is quite a different thing and a point of view upheld by many Jews.
The latest news is that Iran will actually benefit by sanctioning oil supplies to the EU. This will drive prices up; and they are still selling to much of the rest of the world. India, and China soon, are buying their liquid gold with – gold. Yet another act of Western stupidity for which we will all pay the price. You fork out if you wish; like many others I have little choice.
