I am NOT an Iranian and neither a muslim belonging to the Shia sect(just in case you accuse me of writing this for secarian loyalties) but I would like to catch your attention to the following:
1. The Iranian Government has told the world time and again that they do not need war. Even with Israel. Yes!! They have said Israel has no right to exist but so has many others in the last decade who have an iota of knowledge about the way and circumstances in which it came into existance and continues to occupy illegal lands. Here is Israel practically annihilating and indulging in holocaust of palestinians, forcing them our of their homes and lands with US blocking almost 5 UN mandated resolutions every year, that deals with condemnation of Israeli policies.
And to think of it, people can't even question 'Israel's right to exist.
Suspecting 'holocaust' lands esteemed authors like David Irving to a jail term. Wow!!
Bush is especially frustrated at Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has abandoned negotiations with Europeans and defied international pressure. Bush's chief political adviser, Karl Rove, complained during a Houston appearance on Wednesday that it is hard to find a diplomatic resolution because Ahmadinejad "is not a rational human being''. Ha ! Ha!
Come to think of. If there was an award category of the most "irrational man of the decade", white house occupant in Wash. DC would win hands down.
Iranians on the other hand have had enough of their share of 'unwanted' and 'uninitiated' war. Remember the eight years of Saddam's war against Iran, when USA, USSR, Europe and even it's own so called 'Muslim' neighbours had got mobilised to bring the nation down to their knee and overthrow their popular government?
However, Saddam and his allies (Arab and non-Arab) lost the war.
2. People of the region (including Arab citizens) are well aware that their reserves of fossil fuel are not going to last long. Therefore, they should all be looking for energy source substitutes. Iran still maintains that they do not look for military arsenal back-up using the nuclear technology. Even Saudia or Kuwait, given the option of chances to develop and diversify their energy resources, will naturally chose nuclear energy.
3. Why does west think that Iran is on the track of militarisation? Iranian leaders, being Muslims, have announced many times that they do not seek nuclear or WMD. Why doesn't west believe them? Is it because the ingrained culture of politicians in the the west, that they 'say' something and but 'practise' something diagonally opposite?
Iranians have even announced that making nuclear weapons is against the teachings of Islam. Think about it...!! No christian/hindu nuclear power has ever said that.
4. However, the stakes are high for the Iranian government. Show me one case in history, when a regime, which is under threat of overthrow, does not defend itself and does not take measures to defend itself and the country from foreign aggression? What shall they do? Sit like Saddam and wait the foreign aggressors to intervene into the country and overthrow him? We would not do this, then why do we expect Iranians to do the same? Shall they sit down and wait for the foreign aggressors to come into their homes and rape their ...?
Would Iran be justified if 'as an act of pre-emption', it bombs the nuclear/military bases of Americans, for Bush is not making any attempt to hide his intentions of keeping his own military options open in order to embark upon yet another one of his disgusting and criminal, 'policy of pre-emption' on behalf of buddy Israel.
