U.S. Embassy Is Warning Beijing on Iran Gas Deal

Submitted by Greg Rzesniowiecki, Dec 29, 2006 03:21

I find the whole exercise; stop Iran's nuclear industry so ironic that I can't believe the world is taking the US seriously on this matter. Nevertheless it is and so America the Brave, World Saviour, Selfless Adventurer is again to sacrifice her sons and daughters in another war half a world away... What hold can the US have over the Chinese? After all if China foreclosed on all the US debt it now carries the US would go belly up... It's the holders of US bonds and promissory notes which are bankrolling the huge public deficit (trillions of dollars) growing to fund the US at war.

The whole thing is ludicrous. How can the US feel threatened by the Iranians, just as how did it feel threatened by the Iraqis and Afghanis? It wasn't these that caused 9/11! Those traitors within the US Administration and fellow travelers of a neo-con persuasion and perhaps some others sent the cruise missile into the Pentagon, engineered the grey military planes that hit the Trade Centre Towers, (including the laying of explosive charges in the preceding several months) and goodness knows what the folks in Shanksville Pennsylvania witnessed...

Never mind Iran it's these callous, ruthless and murderous individuals which are the ones that ought be sanctioned. Since 9/11, 2001 they have the blood of near 3000 9/11 victims on their hands. They also have the blood of hundreds of thousand Afghanis plus the hundreds of US service-persons killed seeking retribution against Osama's mates.

In Iraq they have the blood of over 650 000 Iraqis and 3000 US and coalition service persons.. (this number is far greater if one counts the service-persons who die at home from injuries sustained).

What cost in human life will war with Iran cost? And if the US is contemplating a short sharp campaign wouldn't the irony become twisted if indeed the US uses nuclear weapons against a non-nuclear armed sovereign nation, to shorten the war, the war which is so so so unjustified!

Awaken to the madness you bring into a World already in crisis, please...
