True, but unfortunately not a laughing matter. President Ahmadinejad recently announced with pride that they would enrich their uranium to 20%. The cacophony from the Western media and Washington D.C. was immediate and intense.
The funny part is the way they can jerk the chain of the Israel lobby by making apparently innocent statements. 20 % enrichment is a long way from the 85-90% enrichment needed for a nuclear weapon. They have the incredible amount of 22 pounds of uranium--isn't that frightening? Further examination revealed that the 20% enriched is to be used for medical isotopes for cancer treatment and imaging-- also frightening?
Old Foot-in-Mouth Hillary Clinton joined the chorus by insisting Iran was working on nuclear weapons and claiming Iran is a "military dictatorship" ignoring other tyrannical regimes in the area. Iran steadfastly maintains it's nuclear efforts are for power generation, clearly permitted by the non-proliferation treaty and have been verified by inspections by UN and US intelligence units. Mrs. Clinton doesn't trust this information and prefers to believe Israel's rant.
The U.S along with authoring new sanctions is busy reinforcing U.S. military and Arab units in the vicinity to counter any potential Iranian retaliation for an American/Israel attack. Unbelievable. We are afraid Iran will not just let us attack them without retaliation.
The present geography has Iran as the meat in a sandwich between our military in Iraq and Afghanistan, with Pakistan a potential new seige potential.
How did Iran become our enemy and subject to our constant displeasure ? Go back 31 years to when the Iranians overthrew the U.S. installed Shah who pillaged the country's wealth for his personal fortune while maintaing ruthless oppression with his feared secret police.
Through the years, the animosity continued with freezing Iranian assets in the U.S.
and supporting Saddam Hussein in the war with Iran.
The beat goes on. Iran is no threat to the U.S. save for not agreeing to the hegemony
of U.S. and the Arab states. We need not worry about an attack on us, unless of course we continue to overtly provoke them, or our rogue ally Israel carries out their threat to bomb Iranian nuclear production sites.
Seems like a lot of nonsense over a way to boil water.
With Love and Kindness,
THE HATMAN
