Coping with Iran

05-Aug-2008 (88 comments)
SHAUL MOFAZ: Iran's nuclear program is geared toward attaining military weapons capability -- something that constitutes an existential threat to the state of Israel. With such ability, Iran not only could attack Israel directly, it could also increase financial and material support under its nuclear umbrella for terrorist organizations such as Hamas and Hizballah, as well as for Syria. Iran has already provided Hizballah with long-range missiles that can hit most Israeli territory, and one day, Iran could also use this power against the United States and Europe>>>

Poor Man’s Equalizer

We in the peace movement must distinguish ourselves from likes of Shultz, Perry, and Kissinger.

The current framework of Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) is almost non-performing. It may not be dead, but it is non-functional. This, as many other totally unpleasant outcomes, is another by-product of the Iraq war. In “post Iraq” world, an overwhelmingly majority of nations learned that the Bush administration invaded Iraq not because the administration “thought” Sadaam had weapons of mass destruction; it invaded Iraq because the administration “knew” Sadaam didn’t have weapons of mass destruction. In this regard we must recognize the two years UN inspection of Iraq and destruction of its weapons as part of military strategy of the United States>>>

For lack of a Solzhenitsyn!

Why is it that here in America we don’t produce notable figures, heroes of humankind?

I thought of Solzhenitsyn and his recollection of being an officer in the Soviet Army, observing the inhumane treatment that the Soviets had inflicted on the Germans, military and civilians, in 1945 as WWII came to a close; perhaps crimes that many would excuse as retribution for what the Germans had done years earlier to them; a retribution that he would not find acceptable. Today’s counterpoint is simply the ease in which the American military accepts crimes of war, often candy-coating them and making them PR-acceptable, as simply “collateral damage.” Our American military has gained vast experience at decriminalizing many repugnant acts of war during the past six decades, from No Gun Ri to My Lai to Fallujah, expecting future generations to be the ones passing judgment, if at all>>>

 دوستی به همین سادگی؟

آیا هیچ انسان عاقلی بدون هیچ معیاری با افراد دوست میشود؟

05-Aug-2008 (6 comments)
آنچه مسلم است دنیا در مرحله گذارو رهایی از زیرسلطه نظام امپراطوری قراردارد. انقلاب ایران در منطقه استراتژیکی خاورمیانه نقش ارزنده ای در این گذار رهایی بخش ایفا کرده و می کند. لذا هر اظهارنظری از جانب مسئولین بویژه دولت عدالتخواه زیر ذره بین دشمنان انقلاب (امپریالیزم و صهیونیزم) ودوستان انقلاب، یعنی نیروهای عدالتخواه قرار می گیرد. بنابراین حتی اصل ظاهرا مسلم دوستی بین ملت ها می باید با نگرش علمی مورد بررسی قرار گیرد.تجربه عملی در راه مبارزات استقلال طلبانه و عدالتخواهانه نشان داده است که بی اهمیت دانستن بسیاری از این گفتمانها و گذشتن از آنها بعدها به مانند ویروسی در جامعه پخش میشود که احتیاج به صرف وقت و انرژی بسیار دارد تا بتوان با آن مقابله کرد. بنابراین مقابله به موقع از اهمیت خاصی برخوردار است.>>>
