    • Sanctions are another lump of coal : they are an act of war.
      Commentaries relating to Iran's 'lack of progress' can be related to little inconveniences like having their bank accounts frozen, free access outside the country interfered with, access to oil refining and pipeline equipment frozen off.
      You can have all the 'resources' you like : but if equipment is not available to get at them they almost might as well not exist. Worse, if somebody else wants to take it on their terms.

    • I think its so interesting how Israel, the UK and the US are in the middle of all of the conflicts leading up to the global war on terror. There in lies the true axis of evil. Their cumulative financial resources and political collusion creates the very terror they fight and keeps the cash flowing in their direction through selling the idea of defense and preemptive defense.

      This is a huge lump of coal in our stockings.

    • "the pursuit of nuclear weapons by Iran is a very dangerous situation."

      The pursuit of nuclear weapons by 'the world' is a very dangerous situation. Why aren't we telling all other countries with them that they are making a dangerous situation in the world? I'm not defending Iran having them as I don't believe any country should have them. However, it does look quite hypocritical for us to condone it on the part of Israel ( which is one reason why Iran wants them) China, France, Russia, India, Pakistan and ourselves. If you want to focus on one country, I think Pakistan having them is much more dangerous right now.

      Go to the Wikipedia article on the NPT and notice the Third Pillar. What is happening is that the observance of the NPT is a signal to slag a nation as dangerous...when it is taking pains to show it is not! Nor is reactor tech compatible with weapons tech in most cases : certainly not one in which Russia is supplying both plant and fuel !
      Cutting to the chase : the US is the one violating the NPT.

    • Wonderful video. I agree that it became harder to follow around the 8minute mark. It could have done the whole "put yourself in their shoes" better. But the point it makes still stands.

      Lyman [Moderator]....

      I'm just guessing but maybe that this was part of a test to see how
      easy it might be to make an improvised nuclear weapon given the massive quantity of
      highly enriched uranium that probably scattered to parts unknown
      at the time of the collapse of the Soviet Union. There were reports, over
      a decade ago, from the U.S. Air Force Academy that enough plutonium
      and highly enriched uranium to make 40,000 Hiroshima sized bombs went
      missing from the Soviet Union as it disintegrated. Some of this material was so
      pure that, according to the report, it could go critical simply by dropping two halves
      of a critical mass together. Undoubtedly there are many governments who quietly
      stockpiled this material when it was available and relatively inexpensive. We should remember that, at the time, soldiers of the former Soviet Union were literally being paid with potatoes. It is amazing that there hasn't been a nuclear terrorist attack somewhere in
      the world already. Perhaps our human race is a little more sane than we give ourselves credit for.

    • brit50, neither country is a threat unless we make them one. War is a racket and countries are pushed into it by the military industrial complex and the world bank. It's never about fear, danger, threat or whatever the government leads you to believe. It's always about resources, power and money. Read this page or even some of it and you will begin to understand this.

      'Protesters'. Are they different than paid agitators ?
      Putin said flat out Russia would regard an attack on Iran like an attack on Russia itself. If 'protestors' don't know about that or like it...do they have Iran's interests at heart ?
      Mousavi was responsible for attacks on Americans when he was president before. You really have to wonder about the mentality of spooks.

    • I think people should think more on the lines of what is going to happen internally. Iran is now seeing large internal disputes with a large majority of young people in their country. In my opinion Pakistan is a much larger threat than Iran. Large nuclear stockpiles, and a very unstable gov't system.

      Is it a large majority? I am not so sure. It's a loud and significant portion of the population.
      I would guess its more like half the country at *most* that are actively demonstrating, probably much less and not the armed portion.
      The right has the Basij and the military, secret police, intelligence agencies, you name it.
      this isn't like overthrowing Iran in the seventies or the fifties.

      I certainly applaud those that are standing up to tyranny but what's next?
      A horrific crackdown may be imminent but I am skeptical that Democracy(tm) is about to spontaneously erupt anywhere in the Middle East any time soon and that includes in Israel.

      Edit: I misread your comment, I didn't intend to appear as though i were correcting you.

    • simple to understand, but probably a bit too blunt for spin addled minds. i think its time to cut the pentagon off from foreign affairs..because for all of its intelligence, it seems to have all the insight of a paranoid shut-in. the restructuring can move as quick as they can sell us on the complexities of force/spying/detainment in keeping a domestic peace. and just cause Irans gov should go eff themselves too - does not a case make for our Pentagons 'too shadowy to fail' policy. the simple truth on our involvement went farther than any bloodshed and mire thats resulted by closeting it away - all the while, setting up Iraq for the fall/invading in opposition. the US doesnt have to be the instrument of opposing force, and trying to remain so(and so that Europe will let us sit at the big boy table) has wreaked its own havoc on us socially and politically.

    • Saved the video for later viewing, but all war is by deception.

      Don't forget that the Bush administration, in conjunction with the corrupt media tried to say that Iran had nukes and was going to kill all the Jews or something, but it was a lie. Then a few months ago, Obama along with all the other puppet world leaders, tried to say that Iran had a secret nuke program which was another lie.

      We're going to war with Iran and Obama is going to take us there on false pretenses and the same ol lies.

      Correct. The NIE from last year still stands which is no active nuclear weopons program, according to a recent post by Ray McGovern.

      **No NIE on Af-Pak

      "The proof is in the pudding. Were not Panetta a self-described “creature of the Congress” (be wise, compromise), he would have long since ordered up a National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) on prospects for Afghanistan AND — far more important — Pakistan.

      Would you believe that at this stage there is still no such NIE?

      And the reason Panetta and his managers are keeping their heads way down is the same reason former CIA Director George Tenet for years shied away from doing an NIE on whether Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. The findings would smell like skunks at a picnic."

      They not only used the wrong word they didn't spell the wrong word correctly.

      Imminent - Likely to occur at any minute.
      Eminent -- High in station, rank or repute. Distinguished.

      Or so Dictionary.com states

      The word conspiracy gets a bad rap, but there was no conspiracy theory in this video anyways. It's just a basic history on Western government's meddling in Iranian affairs because they happen to live on a shitload of oil.

      Guys like Mikeysfake1 like to throw the word conspiracy around when they cannot really address the information.

      It's just a small section of a video that continues to go into detail some crazy ideas. Yes the video doesn't start conspiring but if you've seen the whole movie than you would know that. I don't remember the title of the movie but a friend of mine had me watch it. Trust me the video goes off on some crazy tangents. And yes I am on a different wavelength.

    • How about a little current history. At the moment the Iranian government doesn't seem to represent the Iranian people. This is evidenced by the riots and demonstrations taking place as we speak. Unless the Iranian government does something that requires a military response I can't see the U.S. government involving our troops. With a little luck we could see a big change in the government of Iran.

      Come, come. We know Black Ops have been assassinating and kidnapping Iranian government and military figures for years now. Mind, the SAS is as much in the thick of it as anyone the US supports or assigns. Iranians trust the UK no more than the US ; something about studying history.

    • Tommic,
      you are absolutely right about a nuclear armed Iran being scary. However, so is a nuclear armed US, which is the only country to actually use a nuclear weapon.

      This is not to suggest that their isn't something particularly scary about apocalyptic and fundamentalist religious leader acquiring nuclear weapons, be it Iran, but also Israel, or possibly a Palin type figure in the US.

      If we want Iran to de-escalate it's nuclear program, we have to make it clear that we are going to hold the same criticisms to Pakistan, Israel, India and ourselves. We have to also make it clear that we will stop intervening externally with other nations in the region, and internally as we are currently doing by proping up insurgents, and funding opposition leaders (despite the fact that they may be better for Iran it is clearly as undemocratic as people from other parts of the world funding our campaigns).

      We need to apologize for past interventions outside the UN, Iraq, Iran earlier and for propping up all sorts of dictatorships. We need to make it clear that we are only going to intervene throuh a democratic security council (that includes all nation states where none have vetos). We need to slowly disarm ourselves and other nuclear armed countries recognizing that international rules, and internationally democratic bodies should make decisions about war, and in fact should eventually be the only army. We can set up rules for immediate engagement in cross border conflicts, and allow other interventions to be decided democratically.

      We as global hegemony have the choice to continue undermine the ICC, keep the security council limited to the global hegemons, or reform it so that it provides real rules that even the US has to follow. We have the choice to continue to allow nuclear arming of our allies, while holding different standards for our enemies, or submitting our military to international norms and democracy, rather than a tool for empire.

      We have every reason to start doing this now. It is to easy to acquire nuclear weapons and to dangerous for some countries to have them. China is also going to surpass the US, and the disruption from a changing of the guards will leave unallied states with nuclear power. Finally do we want an international system governmed by Chinese hegemony or do we want to instatutionalize a less scary democratic international system. Finally do we want to waste resources racing after arms as individual nations, or do we want to leave that to a democratic UN, the only body with the moral right to fight just wars.

      Finally tommic, I know this is a process, but I think if we recognized the goal of having international interventions controlled and facilitated through a properly armed UN, apologized for the ways we have acted as an empire and made initial steps while outlining a clear path towards the final goal, Iran and other nations may not need to secure arms out of their own self-interest. This is what change might look like.

    • While all the history is true and the United States was guilty of intervention in the political process in Iran in the past, the pursuit of nuclear weapons by Iran is a very dangerous situation. Nuclear non proliferation is paramount in the prevention of destruction that most in the world cannot comprehend. Until Arab and Persian alike back off the demand of Israeli destruction the threat of nuclear war in the middle east grows with the proliferation of nuclear weapons and the use of them is certain if extremist gain possession of them.
      A portion of the world will be completely destroyed and hundreds of millions will die without the prevention of the spread of these weapons. Unfortunatly war is going to become reality in the middle east and funny how I wrote this here on current just afew days ago.

      They came close to attacking Iraq unprovoked and would have had they gone along with Bush and his Coalition of the Willing.

      Canada instead committed its forces to Afghanistan and first deployed forces there in January–February 2002.
      Lesser of two evils.

    • History, people, know your history, know your enemies and I'll tell you this, Iran is not it. If anything, THEY have the right to hate us. Plus, notice in this video how WE supplied Saddam Hussein with weapons to fight Iran. We then also armed Iran. Funny how we supplied the weapons we went to war with Iraq to rid them off, supposedly. Watch and re-watch this, the truth is we are as guilty as any country or probably more than most of terrorism and war crimes.
