Iran Reviews > Iran reiterates its right to nuclear energy

http://www.hanlonsrazor.org [Hanlon’s Razor] North Korea’s recent testing has most likely emboldened Iran, it says that there are few if any repercussions to going after the nukes themselves, and here they’re just claiming a desire for energy.

Antiwar.comhttp://www.antiwar.com [Antiwar.com] Antiwar.com Blog: The Bush team is chomping at the bit to use the “lessons” from Israel’s war for its own on Iran.  A former intelligence officer told Hersh: “We told Israel, ”˜Look, if you guys have to go, we’re behind you all the way. But we think it should be sooner rather than later””the longer you wait, the less time we have to evaluate and plan for Iran before Bush gets out of office.’” The Bush team apparently believes that they are entitled to create a few more catastrophes before Bush’s time runs out.

[Justinlogan.com] JustinLogan.com: What Is the Plan If There's Another 9/11?: They are not going to touch Iran.They have just handed the future of Iraq over to proxies of Iran - thus dooming that country to decades more of suffering - and they knew what they were doing.Although they may not have guessed how horribly their invasion would turn out, they have read Bernard Lewis, they have long boosted Ambassador William H Sullivan's pro-Shi'ite Islamist assessment of 1979, they knew about the Iranian connections of their darling Ahmed Chalabi and most of their other favorites.There may have been those in the Bush administration who would have liked to try to impose a plan on Iraq which would have respected Iraq's modern history and preserved its integrity and secular government, but the realists and the neocons must have known that the US was opening Pandora's box, and under those circumstances only the more primitive political movements centered around religious seperatism, especially that controlled by the Shi'ite clerical hierarchy, would thrive.

[Thomaspmbarnett.com] Thomas PM Barnett :: Weblog: Losing all perspective on Iran, but ...: Hitler secured power largely because of the actions of others, specifically the policies of the Western governments: the post World War I economic policies of the West that impoverished Germany (read Keynes) combined with the influence of anti-Communism that caused Western leaders to view Fascists such as Hitler and Mussolini as lesser evils in comparison to the Soviet Union. There is no doubt in my mind that if Western governments had followed a different approach to European security during the 1920s and 1930s, Hitler would have just been just another in the long line of marginal German politicians who sought to exploit anti-Semitism for political gain.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com [Huffingtonpost.com] The Blog | Bill Scher: Reframing the Iran Debate | The Huffington Post: When a US administration in its first days, classifies three rogue states as being part of an "axis of evil," then proceeds to invade one of these without so much as a hint of provocation, can anyone rationally be surprised when the other two decide it's high-time to defend themselves? I am in no way rationalizing any action taken or to be taken by Iran in this regard but it's not hard to imagine what might be going through their heads when such a tantalizing window of opportunity presents itself by a bumbling, incompetent and downright stupid US administration.

http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.com [Gates of Vienna] Recommendations for the West: The West at the beginning of the 21st century suffers from a lack of cultural confidence, and is in some ways engaged in an internal struggle over the very meaning of Western civilization. This ideological “war within the West” has helped paved the way for the physical “war against the West” that is waged by Muslim Jihadists, who quite correctly view our creed of Multiculturalism and our acceptance of Muslim immigration as signs of weakness and that the West has lost contact with its civilizational roots.

http://thedignifiedrant.blogspot.com [The Dignified Rant] Opportunity in Crisis: Nor is encouraging proliferation by Japan, South Korea, and/or Taiwan anything more than a bit of revenge against China for failing to do something useful to stop North Korea. With mutually hostile states owning nukes that can reach neighbors in under five minutes, we'll recall our Cold War twenty minute notice of Soviet attack as positively geological in scale.
