The israeli hawks and the neocons are pushing for another conflict. I have noticed in the past few days a media offensive on that subject, first a lengthy 1/2 hour report on BBC World, a few articles here and there, the usual "idea-planting" strategy.This time Iran is the target, the hypocrisy is amazing given that Israel is sitting on the only nuclear warheads in the region. Officially, Israel does not admit it has a nuclear arsenal, if it wasn't for a whistleblower, Mordechai Vanunu, it would have taken another decade for the Israeli public and the world community to find out.Iran has never said anything about military applications but talks about energy concerns. Even it was military, some US officials according to the BBC, have admitted the "fait accompli" and are factoring in, a nuclear Iran in their foreign policy, thinking that it might bring some sort of balance in the region. I can't figure out how but there it is.A war would be catastrophic for the world economy, Iran is a major oil producer, it could halt part of the supplies by blocking the Ormuz straits and so on. But given the Iraq experience, neocons have shown an amazing ability to come up with schemes that have no regard whatsoever for world stability. Like I said earlier, a foreign policy thought up by a team of monkeys.http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20061115/wl_mideast_afp/israelirannuclearus_061115104426&printer=1//en.yabiladi.com/topics/drums-44-1501697-1501697.html#msg-1501697 Thu, 04 Jun 2026 19:38:54 +0200 Phorum 5.2.15
