Two national governments on their borders have been overthrown. Israel has threatened them with air strikes…&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;A Nuclear Weapon is a defensive weapon.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Ever notice that North Korea and Pakistan can resist the United States,,, What do they have in common?&lt;BR/&gt;They are both Nuclear Powers.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;It is simple bigotry that Iran is not being allowed to develop atomic weapons. Why shouldn’t an Islamic hereditary theocracy be allowed to build I.C.B.M.s?&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;A nuclear middle-east will be a peaceful middle-east because of Mutually assured destruction. Mutually assured destruction kept the peace between the United States and the Soviet Union for decades.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Atomic bombs are defensive weapons because they make victory impossible for anyone. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Nuclear proliferation is going to happen sooner or later any way.&lt;BR/&gt;Technology always spreads. Gunpowder was invented by the Chinese, but now everyone has it. Even the most isolated illiterate tribesman carrys an assualt rifle when he goes to war.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;In the future, every Mullah, Generalismo, and Warlord will have the ability to hurl nuclear weapons at one another. But, they will also be threatened with the same thing coming back at them.

If the US leaves ...</title><content type='html'>The world loves to hate America. If the US leaves a country alone or does business with - it supports a tyrannical regime. If it attempts to liberate the oppressed or fight off an oppressive invader - it is an imperialist.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;  'Imperialism' was coined in the sixteenth century, reflecting the imperial policies of Portugal, Spain, Britain, France, and the Netherlands into Africa, and the Americas.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;The world forgets that America once wore the yolk of colonization - and all states and territories had to petition for membership.  America built it's world relations on the foundation of democracy, individual freedom and anti-imperialism. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;It's friends are among the strongest freest, economic autonomous countries in the world. And powerful too - the US is very happy for the emergence and sucess of the European Union.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;For much of it's history, the United States was entirely neutral. This stance allowed it to be attacked on several occasions. Such as the attack on Pearl Harbor, at 8:00 AM, on December 7, 1941&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;There were many reasons, at the time, why the US regretably used the atom bomb. Ask China, the Phillipines, Tailand, Burma, The Soloman Islands, India how they felt when the Japanese attacked without provocation - and what the Japanese did to the prisoners at Nanking, Burma or Bataan.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Japan and Germany were working on the atomic bomb also - it is certain that Japan would have used it against the United States. After all, Oppenheimer and Enrico Fermi (The Italian Scientist) invented the bomb. Before his defection in Sweeden, Fermi was an axis power scientist.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;After a successful detonation at Bikini Atoll, President Truman weighed the decision to use it with his Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Marshall.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Marshall explained to Truman that a quarter of a million lives would be lost (100,000 American) To take the main Island of Japan.  No one at the time knew exactly what the extent of the damage would be. Even the Japanese thought the first was a massive cluster bomb campaign. Apparently, it killed about 200,000 Japanese - mostly civilians.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Mossadegh was removed from power on August 19, 1953, in a coup d'état, supported and funded by the British and U.S. governments and led by General Fazlollah Zahedi. The operation came to be known as Operation Ajax in America, after its CIA cryptonym, and as the "28 Mordad 1332" coup in Iran, after its date on the Iranian calendar. Dr. Mosaddeq was imprisoned for three years and subsequently put under house arrest until his death.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;In Iran and many countries, Mosaddeq is known as a hero of Third World anti-imperialism and victim of imperialist greed. However, a number of scholars and historians believe that alongside the plotting of the UK and US, a major factor in his overthrow was Mossadeq's loss of support among Shia clerics and the traditional middle class[disputed], brought on by his increasingly radical and secular policies and by their fear of a communist takeover.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;He was clearly another participant and casualty in the cold war between Stalinist USSR and the US.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21414309/114203221908231689/comments/default/2087958616105469254'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21414309/114203221908231689/comments/default/2087958616105469254'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://no-war-on-iran.blogspot.com/2006/03/text-below-is-my-quick-translation-of.html?showComment=1208160120000#c2087958616105469254' title=''/><author><name>View from America</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15014885085483425899</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://no-war-on-iran.blogspot.com/2006/03/text-below-is-my-quick-translation-of.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21414309.post-114203221908231689' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21414309/posts/default/114203221908231689' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21414309.post-6531448528084854993</id><published>2008-02-09T04:06:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-02-09T04:06:00.000-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Bravo! nice work!! and that even in America??!!

But the North Viet Cong NLF was a brutal Stalinist regime that wanted to ursurp South Vietnam. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Operation Ajax was a US joint plot with the UK against a potential Soviet Client. How come you dont include the Abadan Crisis that cost Iran 10 million dollars a month in debt after Mossadeq expelled Western investors and nationalized the oil? That plunged the nation into an economic crisis. He joined forces with the radical Islamists and the Tudeh Party to ursurp power from the Shah and gain total military control. Who knows where Mossadeq couldve taken Iran, possibly a gulag? &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;On Allende. The US role in the coup was minimal to no participation. I've read three MARXIST books on Chile within five to ten years of the coup and all assert that the 1973 Coup was totally Chilean. Allende dug his own grave by implementing land reforms that angered the peasents and ripping the Chilean Constitution to shreds. He was abandoned by the Christian Democrats when they sided with the right wing parties to ask Allende to resign. Look up the famous March of pots and pans where thousands of people took to the street asking Allende to resign or to be removed from office. The Chilean military took direct advantage of the situation and decided to act with no help from the CIA. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;On Iraq, civilian casualties are a horrible thing to witness, but the US was and is not targeting children. Its a propaganda ploy to post such pics as say that it is US aggression and imperialism. Why not show pics of the dozens of kids killed by Saddam Hussien in his three attempts at imperialism in Iran, Kurdistan and Kuwait? &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Your blog is one sided and narrow minded. Granted I am not an apologist for US Cold War policy but I am no where near the mind you harbor in thinking of the US as an imperial force bent on hegemony.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21414309/114203221908231689/comments/default/114525246792054749'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21414309/114203221908231689/comments/default/114525246792054749'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://no-war-on-iran.blogspot.com/2006/03/text-below-is-my-quick-translation-of.html?showComment=1145252460000#c114525246792054749' title=''/><author><name>Ruben</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09824786051180903155</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://no-war-on-iran.blogspot.com/2006/03/text-below-is-my-quick-translation-of.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21414309.post-114203221908231689' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21414309/posts/default/114203221908231689' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
