Edited on Mon Oct-05-09 10:30 PM by theFrankFactor
1. Corporate control of the government

The US activities in the Middle East are a litany of lies and illegal activity.

2. Just so you know -
America is way out of line on Iran - the whole world is against you on this - go Iran - and you go alone - it will be the end of the USA permanently -

You need to understand that these people have done absolutely nothing wrong- you, America, are being manipulated worse than the lead up to Iraq - wake the fck up.

3. Americans manufacture another nuclear crisis
By ERIC MARGOLIS

NEW YORK -- The U.S., Britain and France staged a bravura performance of political theatre last week by claiming to have just "discovered" a secret Iran uranium enrichment plant near Qum. On cue, a carefully orchestrated media blitz trumpeted warnings of the alleged Iranian nuclear threat and "long-ranged missiles."

In reality, the Qum plant was detected by U.S. spy satellites over two years ago, and was known to the intelligence community. Iran claimed the plant will not begin enriching uranium for peaceful power for another 540 days. UN nuclear rules, to which Iran adheres, calls for 180 days notice.

snip

The reluctance of Iran to reveal its nuclear sites is magnified by constant threats of attack against them by Israel and the U.S. Iran also recalls Iraq, where many of the UN "nuclear inspectors" were likely spies for CIA or Israel's Mossad. This may explain some of Iran's secretive behaviour. The U.S., Britain, France and Israel have been even less forthcoming about their nuclear secrets.

snip

Welcome to Iraq deja vu, and another phony crisis. U.S. intelligence and UN inspectors say Iran has no nuclear weapons and certainly no nuclear warheads and is only enriching uranium to 5%. Nuclear weapons require 95%. Iran's nuclear facilities are under constant UN inspection and U.S. surveillance.

6. A peaceful nation in the region is surrounded by nuclear nations and threatened daily by the most po
powerful is scrutinized and sanctioned etc. by agreements made by their enemies and this is fair how?

7. "Now hold on Glenn, don't go making us into hypocrites by suggesting we are calling them evil when
we condemn them". Way to go Glenn.
