		<description>iyamwutiam, thank you for your perspective on the motivation behind the Iranian nuclear programme.  It gives an interesting new dimension to our analysis/understanding of what is transpiring today.

Reasoned argument without vitriol and hyperbole allows us readers to dispassionately consider its merits and draw our own conclusions.

Thanks again.</description>

		<description>There is a distinction between the two nations and their ultimate goals.  North Korea having an armed US presence adjacent to it for decades see the pursuit of a Nuclear Bomb as a deterrent to an inevitable invasion/regime chane while the Iranian government seeks their exploration of nuclear power as a step to further advance their industrial and scientific base - as did China and India- who by the way have caught up quite a bit with the United States - in terms of technology and particularly understanding technology.

This is what is being missed.  The goals are quite distinct.  While one nation seeks a weapon the other seeks to explore and understand technology which may be the next frontier.  For example -  the pursuit of missile technology can be viewed with two general distinctions - defense but also the ability to launch their own satellites for communications, etc.   Again - both India and China come to mind- since Japan isessentially an American protectorate as witnessed by the countless indiscretions of american troops on Okinawa, as well as other places. 

Russia does not seek a weak Iran -especially aty the moment.  Their nurturing of the Shanghai Cooperative is not only proof but due to their position of being encircled by traditional allies (particularly Ukraine, Estonia, Poland)  has them realizing the &#039;virtue&#039; of being advocates for a &quot;multipolar&quot; world.

China, Venezuela, Bolivia, Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Qatar, and Russia are slowly and concertedly countering both dollar hegemony and US domination.  While at this time - it may seem daunting especially sice NATO has firmly allied itself with the US not only in terms of paltry military cooperation but rather more significantly in extending the aims of continued &#039;wester/european&#039; imperialism.  

The large leaps by asian currencies and economies post the long term capital debacles and globalisation HAS had many countries understand that the technology divide can be bridged much sooner than even they themselves expected.  

Today - the wireless innovation has given countries like India and China INSTANT communication infrastructure with out the requsite decades it would have taken before 1980 in termsof laying down copper wire all over the country.  The plunge into WI-FI, a large growing base of engineering being converted into computer programmers, physicists who are able to create working space technologies (such as destroying a satellite in space with a single missile) as well as implementing superspeed mag-lev trains etc- has given a confidence to &#039;developing&#039; nations that the IMF, World Bank handouts in exchange for raw resources never have been able to cultivate.

Finally - the &#039;developed&#039; countries are learning that the price of the obscene profits gained by outsourcing technology to impoverished nations who have a plethora of cheap labor - is transfer of technology and knowledge unprecedented as seen from the scope of European powers.  The only analogy would be the wonders that Marco Polo and others brought back via trade from East that exploded the scientific base of the west.

This is not lost upon the corporations as can be witnessed by the mushrrom cloud s of law dealing with &#039;intellectual property&#039;, patents, etc etc.  Despite this - one can unequivocally say - that the growth of computer programmers, technicians, scientists etc in these developing countries has risen at such an astonsihing rate that it may be only a few decades before the forefront of innovation shifts back from the West to East.    This is what Iran sees- and it seeks itself to advance beyond the provincial and uneducated &#039;model&#039; such as Saudi Arabia and move closer to align itself in the path of its more Eastern neighbors such as India.</description>

		<description>Mr. McNiven:
I thought   Mr. Reza Fiyouzat position on Iranian reactor has been defeated for now. It is the best that Mr. Fiyouzat spends  his precious energy on elimination of US nuclear arsenal and other  formal colonial power nuclear weapons including the racist Zionist State first  and then talk  about the peaceful energy reactors of Iran, otherwise is a fruitless discussion especially now more than ever where countries are attacked by a hegemonic power, and the states are seeking protection by any means.

		<description>How many surrogates do you need?  Saudi Arabia, Arab Emirate, Kuwait, Turkey,………
Why can’t they work with Iran, power of the region and natural ally of the United States until the Iranian revolution?  But even after the revolution Iran has signaled her intension to work with the US based on mutual interest but due to US domestic politics, the Lobby, and against the interest of oil companies, these efforts have been fruitless.  Why is that?  The United State has followed her interest like other powers and does not recognize PERMENANT FRIEND OR ENEMY BUT INTEREST.  How come the United State is not able to recognize that ISRAEL’S INTEREST IS NOT US INTEREST?  If you think that US is looking only for oil in the ME or Central Asia, do you think is Iran or Israel that can be the most beneficial to US since Iran like US does not trust Russia and is working with Russia now because Iran has been pushed towards Russia. On the other hand Russia and Israel seek the same goal, weak Iran.  Every Iranian knows that Russia like Israel wants a weak Iran because Iran has strong ties with other republics and their people.  If this is for oil only then why not invade Saudi Arabia?  Saudi Arabia in 1974 stopped the shipment of oil?  Why the United States trust Saudi Arabia? since states do not have permanent friends or enemies but interest. Israel and Russia have benefited the most since 9/11. 
What kind of benefit do you get out of Israel as a surrogate state?   Your biggest enemy, the Russia, was pushed out of Afghanistan by Mojahedin, which later was labeled as “Al Qaeda”.  Mojahedin got rid of your enemy for you while Israel continually is making enemies for you. 
I think it is the time for American people to remove THE VEIL OF IGNORANCE and push the servants of the Zionist state of Israel out of the congress, the senate and out of the presidential campaign.  Don’t you think so?</description>

		<description>It is about oil. 
Israel is about oil ... without oil, what would Israel matter?  
Our only interest in even having an Israeli state has been in order to have a surrogate in the region.  Sure the nut cases in the x-ian-right (of whom I actually count some as friends) think in terms of the rebuilding of the temple and end times ... but the core policy has been and will always be oil.  
In fact, perhaps what o i l stands for could be Our Israeli Legionnaires?</description>

		<description>Mr. Drolette:

Please let me say that you got it wrong. It is not “only for o-i-l”.  It is for Israel as well. The neocons, mainly Zionist, promised George Bush an empire which takes the Zionist interest very seriously.  Israel has become illegitimate in the eyes of the international community. It is the existence of Israel in danger, not because of Ahmadinejad’s critic of Israel which has captured the heard and mind of Arabs and Muslim world due to his honestly, rather because of the brutality, war criminal, land grabbing and apartheid system that Zionist regime is engaged in during the past 60 years which has WIPPED OUT PALISTINE, invaded so many surrounding countries and has continued its policy of expansionism for “greater Israel” from Mauritania to Afghanistan that made Israel illegitimate.
Why don’t you listen to the presidential candidate like Mike Gravel for god’s sake?  He knows what is going on and he is very concerned for the interest of American people.  He said publicly, on PBS, that Israel lobby is pushing for an attack on Iran, but this is not the interest of the United States.  Why did he say so, 77 years old former senator from Alaska?  He is bold because he does not have anything to lose and he is more interested in American people’s interest than a silly job that you call it “Presidency” where you have to serve Israel’s interest first when you want to make   foreign policy regarding the Middle East.
Mr. Drolette:  Iran is not Iraq, but does not mean they had the right to bring Iraq such a brutality and destruction.  Iraq invaded Iran with the encouragement of US and the “civilized west” where Saddam was given weapon of Mass destruction by the west including US and Germany and money from the Arab puppet head of States.  The term “axis of Evil” which is suited well for ‘US – Israel – Britain’ was coined by a Zionist pro Israel in name of David Frum, and  the term Islamofacsistsm which has been used by  George Bush, was created by the pro Israel such as Daniel pipes and podhoretz who has publicly requested, like Joe Lieberman, bombing of Iran on American expense and now is “advising” one of the presidential candidate Rudolf Giuliani who has promised to bomb Iran if he is elected president to please his good “advisor”, podhoretz, form the lobby.  Who did bring the proposal labeling Iran’s military, Revolutionary Guard Corps, as a terrorist organization which passed by 76 – 22 where Hillary Clinton voted for it and by doing so she expanded the war even further.   Hillary Clinton, AIPAC girl, who have said in the past “if I knew what I know now, I would have not voted for the war.”  Doesn’t she know now?  If she can not learn from her past mistakes then how she expects people to vote for her?  

 “What in the earth could be the difference?”)

The difference is that North Korea is not located in the Middle East. If North Korea was located in the ME and was a regional power historically, then N. Korea would have been a target.  Look at Syria.  Does Syria have O-I-L?  Of course not, but Israel considers Syria as an enemy and does not want to return Syria’s land. Syria is not an enemy of the US and can be very beneficial to the United States but since Syria is on Israel’s enemy list then become US enemy as well. If I were you I would have not paid attention to Bolton who goes to Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA) and calls for bombing of Iran.
Mr. Drolette: 
 As you have correctly implied US wants to attack Iran and nuclear reactors are an EXCUSE.  Number of American generals have accepted, including Odum and AbiZaid, the Iran nuclear reactors even NUCLEAR IRAN and have said we have lived with  nuclear Soviet Union why not Iran where is surrounded by nuclear states including Israel.  However, I do not want to believe with such a certainty that:
“Iran will almost assuredly be attacked and any excuse will do, no matter how far-flung”
If Americans are mobilized and protest against the Zionist war in large numbers and stop funding the war by going on strike until the war machine is down then we might be able to prevent  a disaster for the world. 

Americans must stand up and go on strike every Tuesday until the war machine is down.  Americans can not hide behind a VEIL OF IGNORANCE and be silent. Your silence may be forgiven once but repeat of the same thing has a serious consequence which you will carry it for generations to come.</description>

<p>Please let me say that you got it wrong. It is not “only for o-i-l”.  It is for Israel as well. The neocons, mainly Zionist, promised George Bush an empire which takes the Zionist interest very seriously.  Israel has become illegitimate in the eyes of the international community. It is the existence of Israel in danger, not because of Ahmadinejad’s critic of Israel which has captured the heard and mind of Arabs and Muslim world due to his honestly, rather because of the brutality, war criminal, land grabbing and apartheid system that Zionist regime is engaged in during the past 60 years which has WIPPED OUT PALISTINE, invaded so many surrounding countries and has continued its policy of expansionism for “greater Israel” from Mauritania to Afghanistan that made Israel illegitimate.<br />
Why don’t you listen to the presidential candidate like Mike Gravel for god’s sake?  He knows what is going on and he is very concerned for the interest of American people.  He said publicly, on PBS, that Israel lobby is pushing for an attack on Iran, but this is not the interest of the United States.  Why did he say so, 77 years old former senator from Alaska?  He is bold because he does not have anything to lose and he is more interested in American people’s interest than a silly job that you call it “Presidency” where you have to serve Israel’s interest first when you want to make   foreign policy regarding the Middle East.<br />
Mr. Drolette:  Iran is not Iraq, but does not mean they had the right to bring Iraq such a brutality and destruction.  Iraq invaded Iran with the encouragement of US and the “civilized west” where Saddam was given weapon of Mass destruction by the west including US and Germany and money from the Arab puppet head of States.  The term “axis of Evil” which is suited well for ‘US – Israel – Britain’ was coined by a Zionist pro Israel in name of David Frum, and  the term Islamofacsistsm which has been used by  George Bush, was created by the pro Israel such as Daniel pipes and podhoretz who has publicly requested, like Joe Lieberman, bombing of Iran on American expense and now is “advising” one of the presidential candidate Rudolf Giuliani who has promised to bomb Iran if he is elected president to please his good “advisor”, podhoretz, form the lobby.  Who did bring the proposal labeling Iran’s military, Revolutionary Guard Corps, as a terrorist organization which passed by 76 – 22 where Hillary Clinton voted for it and by doing so she expanded the war even further.   Hillary Clinton, AIPAC girl, who have said in the past “if I knew what I know now, I would have not voted for the war.”  Doesn’t she know now?  If she can not learn from her past mistakes then how she expects people to vote for her?  </p>

How about an alternative perspective, the one that the &quot;left&quot; seems to ignore or choose to quash
