America and their faithful 51^st state
Britain are reaching new levels of hypocrisy each time they increasingly
turn towards the Iran ‘problem’. Reported last week by Mo Magrey (Good
Day to Bury Bad News) was the increasing expectation of armed conflict
with Iraq, and today several articles on Antiwar.com
do nothing to calm fears. Gordon Prather’s article ‘Bush’s
Nutty Referral’ pinpoints the sheer insanity of accusations being
made by Washington, and more worryingly being reverberated around Europe
by Britain, France, and Germany. Prather refers to the idiot notion that
talks have ‘broken down’ because of evil Iranian intentions, whereas
this is far from the case; as he succinctly illustrates in an important
article. However, what is really worrying is that although the accusations
are ridiculous, the case for war or pre-emptive air strikes absurd, all we
have to do is remember that we invaded Iraq recently. The parallels are
clear, America and Britain makes links between falsities, in the Iraq war
it was links between the September 11^th attackers and Iraq,
where no link existed, In Iran it is linking the desire for nuclear energy
with the desire for Nuclear weapons, when Iran has been complying
voluntarily in discussions with the EU member states above. In Iraq a
false dossier on weapons of mass destruction was produced, In Iran it is
the false reasoning on a breakdown of ‘talks’ between Iran and the EU
– nothing to do with America. Yet the outcome is the same, America and
Britain take the hypocritical moral high ground and begin appealing to the
UN for licence to take action in Iran. To have America and Britain, the
worlds largest and most consistent rogue states, purveyors of
international terror on an unprecedented scale, claim that Iran should not
be allowed to develop Nuclear Arms is ludicrous. Jude Wanniski’s article ‘Bush-Bolton Plan to Bomb Bushehr’ refers to a Fox news Breaking Point Investigation, Sunday April 24, 2005. In this discussion Senator Biden states:

To have a despotic theocracy in possession of a
nuclear weapon creates a much greater danger than having a democratically
elected government in control of a nuclear weapon.

Well, the last time I checked Americans were reeling
from two dodgy elections with a President considered by many to be
illegitimate, whilst Britain has just ‘elected’ Tony Blair to power
with only a third of voters actually wanting him to lead Britain; so
Britain and America should certainly not have the right to possess nuclear
weapons – let alone act as moral adjudicators over who else should be
allowed them. The West is taking another step towards the complete
alienation of the Middle East, and is providing fuel for the terrorism
that they claim to be fighting. With each passing day the Middle East
nations gain more legitimacy in their hatred of the West, for they are
perfectly justified in questioning the moral authority laid down by such
hypocrites; and with each threat of armed action by America and Britain
the need for them to acquire nuclear weapons is increased. President Bush
during the same Fox News program stated:

I believe that the Iranian people ought to be
allowed to freely discuss opinions, read a free press, have free votes, be
able to choose among political parties, I believe Iran should adopt
democracy, that’s what I believe

But the reality is that in America and the UK -
democracies in name - we can honestly say that this statement does not
describe the situation for the individual; and ironically the war on
terror has only served to lesson the democratic process in both countries.
We export democracy abroad, whilst we restrict it even further at home, an
unpleasant irony highlighted by an unpleasant man.
