With all the talk of war and familiar media drum beat from all sides, we need to understand our own position detached from the emotional aspect of our collective feeling about an anomaly called IRR that rules Iran. A new war on Iran started in 79 but is moving to a new stage.
A survey of who benefits, who loses and who wants/can change the dynamics may help clarify why Iranian, American or Iranian American, the most patriotic thing you can do for your country is oppose this war.
Who benefits:
* IRR, Zionism, Neocons, Russia, China, Iraq, U.S., Turkey, SA, Pakistan for/to different reasons and extents
* All extreme agenda domestic & foreign
Who loses:
* The worst thing that can possibly happen to Iran for political, economic, freedom & sanity reasons. Bad for Peoples of all the world as a whole
* All options that are actually practical, middle of the road and wise
War is good for
* Global power structure AKA imperialism, AKA another new world order, AKA same crap that has been going on at conveyor belt speed for about 200 years
* IRR: gets a big us against the world excuse, yet again. At a point when it is weakest and falling apart gradually under its own weight and utter incompetence in managing the general affairs of the country even in terms that would be good for an ‘islamic regime’ or even a ‘semi-normal dictatorship’ to the extent that such animal exists. A war will fully unleash the fascist state and untold mayhem.
* Israel/Zionism: for the same reasons as always and given extensive mutual interests with IRR
* Neocons: to finish getting their ‘peace dividend’ that was not completed post soviet, and before China takes over. And because Neocons are as sick and twisted as IRR
* Russia: As long as it is promised that the revenue lost from IRR, is replaced by arms sales, various aid from U.S. and others; and it gets more impunity in central asia. That coincides with American interests…Later.
* China: As long as lost oil/exports are replaced and the Central Asian scenario does not come at the expense of China.
* Iraq: potentially remains free from Iranian influence and builds while Iran is deconstructed. Similar dynamics as Turkey and Syria & Felestin & Israel. It also allows the Sunni to regain some strength.
* U.S.: because war is good for American corporate economy and given current economic cluster. Close to full control of Persian Gulf & Central Asian Oil and Gas wealth which is the lion portion of world energy for foreseeable future.
* Turkey: It benefits immensely from a financial perspective as it has since 1979 and Iran-Iraq war. It weakens or kills its greater central Asian Turko-islamic union/dominance ambitions. It will strengthen islamist in Turkey and may push it closer to dictatorship. Kurdistan is wild card for Iran, Iraq & Turkey.
* SA: Anything bad for Iran is good for SA. They have always been bastards. It will also ensure the %15 Shi’t population don’t get any ideas in foreseeable future
* Pakistan: similar reasons as SA. It will also allow for greater control of Afghanistan
War is bad for:
* all the same people that have always been fucked. AKA majority of the people of the region and the world but this time former safe haven populations will be expanded into. AKA NA, parts of Europe, Central Asia
* Territory and people of Iran. There is distinct interest to divi up Iran in one of several formations. It may also be part of the lure of bringing hesitant participants to this war. People of Iran can kiss Iran as we know it goodbye. This war will make Vietnam & both Iraq wars combined look like a cake walk.
* Global sanity and World stability; as though there is much left. There will be peoples radicalized and as many factions as there are teams in the world cup. You would need to go to airport 3 days before flight, and scanning starts at your home. Your civil liberties will be abbreviated to civil if you are lucky.
* Environment. I don’t think I need to explain this one. Suffice to say the Mother Earth will start becoming old bitch earth. It will take a while but there are enough idiots who think this would be just another war.
* Liberal democracy & democracy. One could argue the liberal version died with Thatcher/Reagan/79 devolution trio (Thatcher actually said as much). The non-liberal version is already half out the window.
It is easy to understand that out of our own historic frustration and immense sense of injustice wrought on a large portion of Iranian population by IRR & masters, that a war could hardly seem worse than these scumbags terrorizing Iran; or kill more people or create more calamity. But a war will deliver all that and then some.
The new ‘new world order’ is busy trying to define what may be next for Iran and the region. The IRAN WAR, however, may end up defining the ‘new’ new world order because no one can guarantee the outcome; possibly 3-5 new countries/alliances in various formations and end of Iran as we know it.
There is no such animal as liberation by tanks and guns. We already have islamic utopia with tanks, guns and chaghoo kesh, now further equipped with Nokia, Siemens & Chinese armored vehicles.
