And now them and Bush are dragging us to war with Iran. how does that help the american people? - James McPherson Fri, 11 Jul 2008 20:00:32 +0100 http://atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/4249-the-coming-attack-on-iran-a-perfect-storm-of-madness.html#comment-5564 I think more than anything to be able to defend their country. Iran wants the same things as Israel, security. Who can they trust? They remember 1979; Arabic nations who supported Iraq against Iran. The integrated financial, technical, and armaments that were provided by many Arab countries to support Arabic Iraq against non-Arab Iranians was responsible for death of about 500,000 Iranians and injury of several millions. They remember our financial and technical support of Sadam Hossein to use chemical bombs against Iranians. Iranians remember summer of 1953. President George Bush often states that Iran is threatening the interests of the Unites States in Persian Gulf! What are the interests of England and the United States in Persian Gulf, the Persian front door to Iran? A primer for discussion of these issues must start with review of British and the United States policies relative to the Persian Gulf region. Stephen Kinzer, a veteran New York Times correspondent, in his book “All the Shah’s Men, an American coup and the roots of Middle East Terror”, published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2003, brilliantly reconstructs the events leading to the present dilemma of the United States in the Middle East. The events described in this marvelous book are not fiction; the events actually happened during the summer of 1953 in Tehran, Iran. The United States Central Intelligence Agency operation Ajax staged coup d’état in 1953 against democratically elected Prime Minister Dr. Mohammad Mossadegh. Democracy was substituted with the despotic regime of Mohammad Reza Shah. The dawn of democracy in Iran, started in late 1880, flickered by democratically elected Mossadegh, was extinguished. This was the beginning of Iranian servitude once more to the interests of England and the United States. During his last years, Shah did not trust Iranian people; his inner palace was guarded by Israel commandos. Since 1979, the United States has been punishing Iranian people for ousting the immature, weak, despotic Mohammad Reza Shah. This punishment, Iranian assert, included Iraq invasion of Iran instigated by President Regan. During this war, the United States and her satellite nations helped materially and logistically Iraqi military forces to invade Iran and use chemical and biological weapons on Iranian population. Dr. Mohammad Mossadegh In the preface of his book, Kinzer recalls his conversation with an Iranian lady about Dr. Mohammad Mossadegh. He asked her: “What do you remember…about the coup against him?” She responded: “Why did you Americans do that terrible thing? We always loved America. To us, America was the great country, the perfect country, the country that helped us while other countries were exploiting us. But after that moment, no one in Iran ever trusted the United States again…” This un-American act was instigated by Winston Churchill-Anthony Eden of England and two American brothers John Foster Dulles (US Secretary of State) and Allen Dulles (Director of Central Intelligence Agency). The primary reason for this regime change was to subordinate Iranian people and exploit the Iranian natural resources. Harry Truman once said: "There is nothing new in the world except the histories you don not know.” Have we learned from our past mistakes committed during 1953 not to repeat it once more? This time the price would be much larger for both the Iranian and our American societies! We must stop George Bush with his neocolonialism. If you were the President of Iran, what would you do for your country?

Engaging Iran is the only approach that has merit. Regardless of Iran's size however, we should be careful what we assume about Iran; it has some ten million men of military age. Puor bien savoir les choses, il en faut savoir le detail, et comme il est presque infini, nos connaissances sont toujours superficielles et imparfaites. Unfortunately, what we do know is that the Bush administration cannot be trusted to do what it says. Iraq taught us that lesson. Many experts have long been predicting that Bush would invade Iran before he leaves office. But of course, the Bush administration would never admit to such a thing. “On ne donne rien si liberalement que ses conseils.” But it is the man who follows his own counsel, he’s the one that should lead. - John Maszka Fri, 11 Jul 2008 18:09:32 +0100 http://atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/4249-the-coming-attack-on-iran-a-perfect-storm-of-madness.html#comment-5558 Suicide By Global Police: It is alright to be worried, because fear causes action. Here is what is happening: "Suicide-by-cop" is a suicide method in which a person deliberately acts in a threatening way, with the goal of provoking a lethal response from a law enforcement officer, such as being shot to death. The United States is acting as the world's Police. World War 3 is in the making, and elements in the middle east are bent on Suicide By the Global Police. - wemustrepent Fri, 11 Jul 2008 17:49:01 +0100 http://atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/4249-the-coming-attack-on-iran-a-perfect-storm-of-madness.html#comment-5549 And so this is how Obama will lose the election. If there is a war with Iran, Americans will never elect Obama. He is just too nweak, confused, and unpatriotic. In other words, he is unelectable. This will be a replay of the 1972 election where McGovern got pummelled. Democrats never ever learn. - Jane Fri, 11 Jul 2008 15:12:44 +0100 http://atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/4249-the-coming-attack-on-iran-a-perfect-storm-of-madness.html#comment-5537 start a garden in your yard. work your way out of commuting to work. fix up your house and your roof. stock up on food and supplies. buy american. make a rain barrel. know who your friends are. hang on tight, there is a big storm comeing soon. - bill bishop Fri, 11 Jul 2008 10:42:28 +0100
