Iran’s Nuclear Ambitions Crisis Intelligence Analysis

Iran’s Nuclear Ambitions Crisis Intelligence Analysis

By Jean-Pierre Ady Fenyo, Philosopher

Foreword

Whatever the United States policy on Iran shall be, it must not inadvertently cause World War Three or any situation that would definitely lead to World War Three. While the nuclear ambitions of the minority of fanatic pseudo-Islamic fascists who currently lead Iran is obvious and should not be taken lightly, those ambitions can be discouraged and Iran’s fanatic leaders can be persuaded to pursue policies which are definitely in the better interests of the peoples of Iran and the rest of the world. A preemptive military attack on Iran is both unwise and absolutely unnecessary, especially under the current circumstances. Here’s why.

Iran Is Not Iraq

As bad as the Iraq Fiasco is, and it is definitely a disaster by any measure, much due to an administration that is run by a group of people who seem unable to appreciate the need for caution, sophistication and real-politic thinking, attacking Iran in any significant and obvious manner would push Iran to the brink of risking all-out global conflict. Before we examine the analysis behind the aforementioned conclusion, let us take into account the most basic, known, proven differences between the late Saddam Hussein’s regime in Iraq and that of the Ayatollahs and fanatic fascists in Iran.

First of all, Iran has almost three times the population of Iraq, and its territorial size is almost four times that of Iraq, making Iran both the 18th largest country in the world in terms of population and geographic size, making Iran slightly larger than Alaska and roughly one-sixth the size of The United States of America! Plus Iran’s territorial features are far more diverse than that of Iraq, which is mostly sandy arid desert and rolling hills, whereas Iran’s is made up of everything from sandy deserts to rocky flat and barren lands, to high and rocky mountain ranges, from rich sub-tropical forests to pine forests. In terms of its military strength and technological reality, Iran has a military that is much larger and better equipped than Iraq was at the time America invaded Iraq! Also, the Iraqi population is much more united, less diverse and much more willing to form countless cells of resistance fighters who would stop at nothing to make lie as miserable, dangerous and deadly for anyone who would dare invade her! Also keep in mind that Iran is not only at a vital geo-strategic intersection between Asia, Africa and Europe, but unlike Iraq, which is almost split into three ethno-sectarian communities, 89% of its population is of the same sect of Islam, the Shiite, and at least half the population is also made up of loyal ethnic Persians. Taking all these factors into account and you begin to get the right picture: if invading, occupying and trying to control Iraq has turned out to be next-to-impossible for the U.S.; Iran will be three to five times as difficult and more deadly and dangerous to attack and invade than Iraq was! And Iranian business and family relational connections throughout the world, including some 700,000 living in the US, makes attacking Iran even more dangerous than attacking Iraq was, with only around 50,000 Iraqis living in the US! Attacking Iraq has caused significant and almost irreversible damage to the image of America and Americans throughout over 90% of the world, and has ruined decades of hard diplomacy and cautious international relationship building, and so it would be that massively attacking and invading Iran would most likely convince the vast majority of people in the world that the United States, which once stood for democracy, freedom of expression and the land of great financial opportunity, was for all intents and purposes as good as dead, a relic of some bygone era, never to be trusted again!

Iran’s Threat Is Serious

Iran’s nuclear ambition is a serious and urgent matter, and poses a very serious threat to the relative balance of power in The Middle East! Regardless of what top Iranian leaders try in vain to do in their efforts to convince the world and the IAEA that its nuclear interests are strictly for peaceful power generation, there should be no doubt about the fact that Iran already has some crude dirty bomb nuclear devices and knows that were it to acquire full nuclear weapons capacity it could easily get away with efforts to seriously undermine Israel’s regional and domestic security interests, until the day Israel would feel pushed too far into a corner from which it must escape, no matter what!

Here’s the very hypothetical scenario Israel, The United States of America, and even the European Union, can imagine:

1. Iran has managed to play games until one day in 2008 it announces that it has at least three nuclear warheads ready to be missile launched at strategic targets in Israel away from Jerusalem.
2. Iran builds a secret massive pipeline system for future oil supply to the Black Sea!
3. Iran then manages to secretly stock up on its own vast oil reserves and makes huge food and technology purchases, from Russia and other countries nearby.
4. Iran then manages to supply even deadlier and more accurate missiles to Hezbollah and Hamas, including some tipped with non-lethal but economically disruptive viral and bacterial agents!
5. Iran then fabricates a fake attack on its own territory and claims that it was an attack by agents of Israel and/or The United States.
6. Iran sinks several large oil tankers in such a way as to block the all-vital sea-lane in the middle of the Straight of Hormuz and this begins the week-long process of causing massive economic problems and the near-collapse of world markets.
7. The United States threatens to attack Iran if it in any way prevents U.S. efforts to remove the sunken tankers.
8. Iran in turn threatens to launch its nuclear missiles at Israel if the U.S. dares to attack, but makes an offer which, given Iran’s surprise Ace up its sleeves, The United States would be foolish to refuse! Iran offers to cooperate with the U.S. if it forces Israel to unconditionally hand over all territories it took in 1967!
9. The United States hesitantly agrees, especially given mounting pressure from other nations negatively affected by the massive oil shortage!
10. Israel is forced to return lands without any guarantees of future security!
11. The Arab nations experience massive street demonstrations in praise of Iran’s victory over Israel and The United States.
12. For the next 24 months things begin to calm down in The Middle East, although the aftermath of this entire affair has caused serious economic harm to much of the world and because of massive sudden unemployment many nations, with exception to Russia and China, which are willing to use draconian measures to keep their workers quiet, enter a Greater World Depression, which wrecks all vestiges of democracy and the rule of law!
13. As a result The United States no longer has the means to provide Israel and relatively moderate Arab nations the financial assistance they need and have come to expect!
14. Massive popular uprisings topple the governments of Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and others, and pseudo-Islamic extremists, i.e. anti-Israeli, anti-peace fascists establish Islamic Republics in those former allies of The United States.
15. Israel becomes totally isolated and life in Israel becomes so unbearable for most Israelis that a majority of Israelis leave Israel as economic migrants to nations in the E.U., Australia, Canada, America, South Africa and elsewhere!
16. After a two year interim period the Iranians give the orders to Hezbollah and Hamas to launch their missiles at Israel, and these cause the Israeli economy to collapse entirely!
17. Israel is forced into a corner, and is desperately trying to decide what it should do! It has only two options! One is to seize to exist, something that would have been unthinkable before Iran’s nuclear threat, and the other is to launch its missiles and risk World War Three!!!
18. All bets are off!
19. But, let us suppose that Israel simply moves itself to a large swath of land offered by South Africa, an old friend. Let us suppose that the Arabs and Persians temporarily create a huge pan-Islamic Dual-Caliphate. How long that would last before their ancient historic differences and animosity does not begin to set the Sunnites against the Shiites?? How long till there is such instability once more in The Middle East that threatens to cause World War Three?? And without a nuclear Israel, how will Jews ever feel safe from the threat of annihilation by a world that is once more heading into a direction where Jews are once more the target of preference for anti-Semitic leaders??
20. Again, all bets are off!

Obviously, if The United States had found some truly effective way to put an end to Iran’s nuclear ambitions then the above scenario could never happen!

Enough Reason For A Preemptive Strike?

While some so-called experts are arguing in favor of a preemptive military strike against Iran (immediately!), in the hope of causing a situation that would lead to a popular uprising against the Ayatollahs, most experts, me included, think comparing Iran to Nazi Germany and suggesting that we should attack Iran preemptively as we should have done to Nazi Germany, in the hope of preventing World War Three, is absolutely wrong, and would actually be the very thing that would trigger World War Three! Clearly what is really needed is a truly wise, sophisticated, multi-faceted and intelligent approach that would involve a combination of efforts, including the creation of a strong pan-Sunnite Alliance of relatively moderate Arab nations against Iran’s meddlesome influence in the region, a final, truly viable, peace settlement between Israelis and Palestinians, which would first require that Syria distance itself from Iran and make a deal with Israel, which would only be possible if The United States removed most of its military from Iraq and admit that invasions are generally wrong,

Just so that you get the point here’s a hypothetical scenario that shows what would happen if we did launch a preemptive military strike:

1. Intelligence reports convince President Clinton (2009) (or President Gore, Biden, etc.) that Iran is within three months of acquiring the means to tip and launch nuclear-tipped missiles, and she decides to give the green light to the Pentagon to launch a massive air attack on Iran, along with a massive Naval action in the Persian Gulf, with instructions to hold Iran’s oil hostage!
2. The preemptive attack is launched!
3. Iran cleverly holds back on any defensive efforts and begins melting away on purpose a large number of its elite forces, who have already, long ago, received instructions that they are to use massive funds, some in secret Swiss and other European and offshore accounts, to organize and finance dozens of major terrorist attacks on American and American-friendly European targets throughout the world.
4. While the preemptive U.S. military attacks will have destroyed the major facilities of Iran’s nuclear efforts, a few dirty bombs were previously stored in secret locations elsewhere.
5. Iran plays the peaceful victim card, with great success on the Arab streets! And soon enough relatively moderate Arab governments are toppled!
6. Now Iran has enough support at OPEC from Arab oil producers and from Venezuela cut the flow of oil so severely that within days A Final Greatest Depression is triggered.
7. A combination of devastated Western economies, massive street protests, and what not causes the world to turn against their governments and against the easy, false scapegoat, Israel!
8. The United States government is forced to declare a national emergency and America begins to collapse under the weight of its own injustices and paranoia!
9. Utter chaos, destruction and eventually total social meltdown in the U.S. forces America’s elite rich few to allow martial law and a dictatorship of plutocracy to happen.
10. Life in Israel also becomes unbearably difficult for most Israelis, and most begin an Exodus to Europe, America and Africa.


Or, in an even worse case:

1. Iran is about to develop full nuclear weapons capacity, the U.S. strikes Iran preemptively, destroying Iran’s nuclear facilities.
2. Iran launches chemical and biological warheads into Israel. A large percentage of Israelis and Palestinians are killed!
3. Israel retaliates with both nuclear and chemical weapons. Many uneducated Palestinians celebrate, even as they bury their own dead “martyrs”!
4. Iran and Syria are decimated!
5. Governments are toppled by angry Arabs throughout the region, and a massive missile attack is launched by all Arab nations.
6. The flow of oil from The Middle East stops!
7. Within weeks the most negatively affected nation is the U.S., with massive internal strife, panic, chaos and violence never before experienced!
8. With the end of democracy in the U.S. and the collapse of the world financial system the world is in chaos, with food riots and violence everywhere.
9. With basic amenities shutting down contagious diseases pop up and spread all over the world!
10. The instability in what is left of Syria and Iran threatens their neighbors, who end up going to war!
11. China is desperate for energy and launches a massive invasion of the region!
12. Total economic and social collapse spreads throughout the whole world!
13. The End of The World!

But neither of those things is likely to happen because of the threat by Israel’s top secret agencies and spies no longer providing vital intelligence to the U.S., and also a possible threat to release information harmful to US politicians! Which would be fair, because what kind of signal would that send the rest of the world about America? It would mean that since the U.S. was able to back-stab its most important ally in the world that America’s word means nothing at all!!! That is why this will never happen! Contrary to the common misperception that most Americans have; the U.S. needs Israel more than Israel needs the U.S.! No other nation on Earth has the kind of intelligence abilities that Israel has! And sufficient intelligence and infiltration of the intelligence services of other nations is key to national survival in today’s most dangerously intelligence/information-dependent world! Israel is a nation that unlike any other nation in the world knows that its very survival depends on having the best of everything a nation needs to have, and that were it not for its military, technological and intelligence superiority it would be vulnerable to relatively easy forms of blackmail and would face the so-called “Massada Question”, which is: should it risk World War Three in order to overcome any serious threat(s) or should it dissolve itself and risk another Holocaust, i.e. another time when Jews would be the scapegoat for the world’s problems and the target of monstrous lies, of virulent anti-Semitism, , of persecution and eventually a final Holocaust?! Obviously Israel would be right to risk World War Three! Because anti-Jewish anti-Semitism is not as many would like to think only because of the existence of The State of Israel, but is once more a common threat because of the fact that actual remnant Nazis have cleverly, by means of all their stolen loot-based investments and subsequent profits, been re-seeding the world with their sick anti-Jewish anti-Semitic lies and attitudes! And it is another big lie that Israel has been more wrong than right, less justified and more offensive and oppressive than not! The actual facts clearly show that Israel has been bending backwards over and over again in its desire and willingness to establish a meaningful, viable peaceful resolution, based on fair compromise and necessary cooperation, of the Israeli-Palestinian and Arab-Israeli conflict(s)! The facts, which I will discuss later in this article, show that Israel, in spite of many mistakes, miscalculations, and even some incorrect behavior, has been much more the victim and has been forced by circumstances, including Arab intransigence and unfairness, to do things it really would have preferred not to have had to do in order to survive! And the historic reality is that Israel not only has as much, if not more, legitimacy to exist, as does a Palestinian State (peacefully coexisting as a relatively friendly neighbor to Israel), but that most of Israel’s land (within the 1967 boundaries) was legally purchased from those Arabs who had inhabited those lands since the Romans forced most Jews to leave their lands! More on Israel later, since resolving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is very much a major requirement, key, to handling the Iranian Nuclear Ambitions Crisis!


What, Then, Can and Should be Done?

The idea that Iran is just a bigger, slightly harder version of Iraq is totally wrong and even if The United States had a military twice as big and powerful, the fact of the matter is this; Iran should not be attacked by massive conventional military force. The relatively wise real-politik solution would be the following:

1. The United States must do everything possible, by diplomatic and economic means/incentives, to convince Syria to come back into the predominantly Sunnite, relatively moderate Arab mainstream, in order to be able to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian and thus Arab-Israeli conflicts! But for Syria to feel secure enough, politically, economically and strategically, The United States needs to do several things: a. remove move of its forces from the region (i.e. Iraq), reposition/relocate a significant number of troops (around 10% of the current numbers there) away from Iraqi population centers, to the border region with Turkey and Iran; b. The United States needs to in some subtle way admit that the previous U.S. foreign policy of invading nations without proper international support was totally wrong and that The United States will no longer use massive conventional military force in the region without either a U.N. mandate or the full support/request of the Arab nations; c. The United States needs to provide Syria with many important economic, financial, and other incentives to make it possible for Syria to severe ties with Iran without suffering economic collapse, and to stop supporting all terrorist groups and organizations without being able to show benefits and advantages for its own people, such as a serious commitment on the part of the U.S. to broker and help implement a fair compromise deal over The Golan Heights, that would be equally acceptable to both Syria and Israel!
2. With Syria back and finally at peace with Israel, which can be accomplished within a few months, both Lebanon and the Palestinians will get the message and come round and agree to a final compromise peace settlement with Israel! Hezbollah will have been reduced to insignificance and possibly wiped out were it to make any more trouble as their massive stockpile of missiles will definitely have been confiscated by the Lebanese Army, with actual help from Syria! And Syria will also agree to a compromise deal vis-à-vis Lebanon, helping insure and strengthen Lebanese sovereignty without harming legitimate Syrian security and economic interests! A byproduct will be the end of most terrorist attacks within Lebanon!
3. Once there is a meaningful, viable peace settlement between the Israelis and the Palestinians of the West Bank, Hamas will be toppled and Gaza will also enjoy the benefits of peace with Israel! This will diffuse most of the anti-Israeli sentiment and reduce the currently rising anti-Jewish anti-Semitism throughout the world, especially throughout the Arab World and the greater Islamic World!
4. Within days of an Israeli-Palestinian Peace Settlement The Arab League will fully recognize Israel and establish full normal relations with Israel, thereby allowing the formation of a strong, powerful, impressive joint-Arab-Israeli political, economic and even military front to isolate and pressure Iran to stop meddling in the region and to be realistic about its ambitions. Iran will either get the message and change course or economic hardships and other international pressure will make the current Iranian leadership very unpopular and eventually they will be removed by the Iranian people through democratic means or even another Iranian Revolution!
5. A new Iran will go out of its way to work with the international community and provide the means to insure that Iran does not develop the nuclear weapons threat that Israel, the U.S. and the E.U. do not want Iran to have! Problem solved without a single serious military conflict between the U.S. and Iran! World saved!

But what if at point number 4. Iran does not change its course? What then? Simple; The United States will have no problem getting sufficient International and pan-Arab support for the first phase of a potential military eventuality against Iran! And the first phase would involve the following steps: 1. The pan-Arab-U.S.-Israeli forces secure the Straight of Hormuz and the steady flow of oil, i.e. the lifeblood of world economic stability!; 2. Though it is most likely that Turkey would decide to remain neutral, Iraq’s border with Iran would be the scene of a massive build-up of pan-Arab-Israeli-U.S. forces ready to pounce within weeks (most of the actual troops would be Arab, with special technological support from Israel and the U.S.).; 3. Iran would be given an ultimatum: give up its nuclear ambitions or face a massive military attack on its border, which would easily cripple the Iranian economy!; 4. Iran would most likely finally give in.

But in the worst case scenario Iran would go to war and within weeks it would lose without major disruption to the flow of oil! World saved, Iran decimated!

Israel Has Never Been The Problem

Somehow the Big Lies Machine of the remnant Nazis has managed to distort the truth about Israel, about its legitimate ancient historical basis, about Roman Imperial anti-Semitism followed by classical European pseudo-Christian anti-Semitism (against both Arab Muslims and Jews), about the pre-1948 reality of Jews legitimately acquiring lands that actually would be their historical right to have returned free of charge, about Arab leaders launching attacks on vulnerable Jewish communities before the establishment of The State of Israel in 1948, about Israeli Jewish retaliations that sometimes went way too far and violated the very principles of Judaism!, about how the actual Nazis and then, after the defeat of Nazi Germany, i.e. The Third Reich, actual remnant Nazis easily managed to turn the Arab leaders against the idea of peaceful partition of Palestine into two states, about how Israel was forced to be even harsher in its military responses to Arab invasion attempts and how both the Israelis and The Palestinians became the ultimate victims of a conflict fueled by the conflicting interests of the two Superpowers, of the Arab nations and others! Somehow much of the world fails to admit that it has a very double-standard vis-à-vis Israel as compared to other similar situation elsewhere! Somehow much of the world is totally illogical about who is the real underdog and overall victim at risk between the two sides of the Arab-Israeli conflict! Somehow much of the world feels incredible sympathy for The Palestinians, who identify themselves as Arabs first when it is convenient and Palestinians first when it is not convenient for them to be perceived as part of the Arab fold! Somehow much of the world fails to recognize that even current Israel exists in less than 22,000 square kilometers of land versus the total Arab lands, which make up roughly 13,000,000 square kilometers!
This means that a very small drop of a country is being argued and fought for by an Arab World that is hundreds of times larger than the only Jewish nation on Earth! Now, do not get me wrong, while I think Israel has every right and even need to exist, so do the Palestinians have a right to a viable Palestinian State in the West Bank and Gaza, and some parts of Jerusalem, and Jordan is not a Palestinian State (as some Israeli extremists wish to suggest), but Israel has never been the real obstacle to the formation! The main obstacle to peace between Israelis and Palestinians is the perpetuation by most Arabs and Palestinians of the myth, the illogical idea, which is that violence can ever lead to the creation of a greater Palestinian State and the destruction of Israel! As well as the dangerous tendency of Palestinians to teach their children these myths and to teach lies about and hatred towards Jews and Israelis! This is the first and most important obstacle to peace between these two peoples and nations! Again, there is good reason to think that remnant Nazis are actually behind the deepest source of these hateful and harmful dangerous myths and lies! Just as remnant Nazis are probably behind the minority of Israeli extremists and their hateful lies and myths about Arabs and Palestinians!!! And the second major obstacle are the Mafiosi-like arms dealers and merchants of death and destruction who profit from the status quo, the continuation and perpetuation of the Arab-Israeli and Israeli-Palestinian conflicts! And the third most significant obstacle is the failure of both the Israeli and Palestinian peace-seeking, peace-desiring, compromise- and cooperation-willing leaders, and their supporters, to realize and recognize the first two reasons, i.e. obstacles, I have just mentioned! The fourth major obstacle to peace comes from the ability of the pseudo-Islamic fascist terrorists (under the influence of ages of Big Lies planted in their minds by actual remnant Nazis!), to set back any peace efforts by suicide bombings which are actually anathema to True Islam! The fact of the matter is this; the only ones really benefiting from the suffering and killing are actual remnant Nazis, Mafiosi-like arms dealers, pseudo-Islamic fascist terrorists, pseudo-Jewish fascist terrorists, and anti-Arab, anti-Jewish anti-Semites throughout the world, such as pseudo-Christian Evangelical fanatics and traditional pseudo-Catholic anti-Semites!!!

It is perfectly reasonable to conclude, as most Israelis have, that were it not for the existence of the modern-day State of Israel, the real danger and threat of another, this time final, Holocaust would come into existence and there would be no one able to pressure the leaders of the non-Jewish world to bring their peoples to their senses and prevent any and all major anti-Jewish anti-Semitic attacks and attempts at genocide! Furthermore, it is fair to say that Israel, were the Arabs and Palestinians in particular to finally live fully at peace with Israel, would be a great economic and even social blessing to all Arabs and eventually to all Muslims! On the one hand the enormous positive economic trade benefits would, in of themselves, bring great prosperity to all Palestinians and most Arabs, and on the other hand Islam would be able to show clear, unequivocal evidence of how truly tolerant and reformed Islam can and should be, and Islam would finally evolve into the “Way of G-D” that The Prophet Muhammad would really have wanted! This would bring about a world where the three Monotheisms are no longer in competition and conflict, and the rest of the non-Monotheistic World, such as the Hindu, Buddhist and atheist worlds would also no longer live under the constant threat and fear of a Final Clash of Civilizations. Ultimately only a few would be strict adherents of traditional religion and a new World Spiritual Order would emerge, that would be tolerant of all persons, regardless of their personal beliefs or absence thereof! Would not that world be a threat to the interests of the leaders of the major religions? Well, if peace and prosperity, if justice and freedom, if spiritual love and scientific awareness are threats to these leaders, then maybe they have no longer G-D’s true interests in mind! The idea that a peaceful world will see a decline in religious fervor is incorrect. True, traditional religious conduct will dwindle, but in its place will rise a Great Spiritual Enlightenment that is not in conflict with science and which does not threaten the core values of the great monotheistic religions!

Does Ahmadinejad Represent Iran And Should We Be Seriously Concerned??

When the leader of any significant nation on Earth actually threatens to wipe out and recommends the destruction of any other significant nation on Earth that leader can no longer legitimately be considered a voice of reason and peace! When Iran’s fanatic pseudo-peace-loving, pseudo-spiritual President, Ahmadinejad, openly suggested that Israel is the only real obstacle to peace everywhere and that Israel is an illegitimate nation that must be wiped off the map, he totally discredited any other statements that were intended to suggest that an Iran under the leadership of his type of Iranian can be trusted when it states that it does not seek to make or acquire nuclear weapons! But what is the real situation at the top of Iran’s political leadership, which is not represented by Ahmadinejad? Are the Ayatollahs who rule Iran really intent on seeking to destroy Israel? The answer is yes and no! Yes, they would if they thought they really could, but no when they know that they cannot! So, then why do they tolerate Ahmadinejad? They do so because they need his kind of populist rhetoric that feeds into the ignorance of the majority of Iranians, with definite exception to the educated middle class of Iran who vehemently oppose Ahmadinejad and actually would like to reduce the power and influence of The Ayatollahs! Ahmadinejad’s virulent rhetoric serves, for now (although there are clear signs that that is beginning to change), to steer Iranian public attention away from internal problems and injustices towards an easy scapegoat enemy: Israel! Many Arab leaders have done the same in the past, but never as cleverly and effectively as Ahmadinejad has. Ahmadinejad represents the very views he and his ilk have created in the minds of many Iranians, but there is a sizeable number of Iranians, perhaps as much as 30%, who actually favor the real-politik world line on Israel: that peace between Israel and The Palestinians is possible and desirable! Insofar as Israel is concerned it has a very strange behind-the-scenes relationship with Iran and its leaders! That relationship is far more complicated and controversial than I am able or willing to address herein. Suffice it to say that Iran’s leaders are probably not willing to let the likes of Ahmadinejad to actually attack Israel! At least, not as long as their power is not seriously threatened! Israel has managed over the years to make odd deals with Iran in the past and may yet be able to get Ahmadinejad removed from his high-profile podium. So, all in all, while the sick hate-mongering nonsense spewed by Ahmadinejad does harm the overall interests of all peace-makers, not just those concerned for the real welfare of both Palestinians and Israelis, but elsewhere where tolerance of minorities is at risk or non-existent, he is not a Hitler able to launch World War Three. On the other hand if the relatively moderate Palestinians and Arabs really want peace, which I think and hope they do, then they should be much more vocal in condemning any and all statements that in any way threaten Israel and Jews. In fact, the Arab mass news media would serve the interests of peace were they to stop using inflammatory and malicious expressions like “Zionists” and “Jewish Extremists” in referring to what they should call them “those reactionary Zionists who are not progressive and peace loving unlike those progressive Zionists who are for peace” and “pseudo-Jewish fascists who do not represent most Jews”. And the same principle applies to the mass news media here in America and Europe; they must stop using incorrect, imprecise, inflammatory, offensive, dangerous words, terms, expressions like “Islamo-Fascists”, Islamists”, Islamic Terrorists” when they supposedly are referring to “pseudo-Islamic fascist terrorists”. Any truly intelligent person can clearly see how words and expressions matter everything, that using the right terms, matters very much, and that using the wrong terminology and words has already been the cause of wars, including World War One!

Words matter everything and on that level Ahmadinejad is a serious troublemaker. He needs to be made totally irrelevant, unless if by some miracle he were to have an epiphany and admit that he was being misled by the mechanism of Evil when he said those horrible things!


Conclusion

The United States of America needs to heed the wise and sound advice of Senator Joe Biden and General Wesley Clark when it comes to The Iraq Fiasco and The Iran Nuclear Ambitions Crisis. All-out war with Iran is not yet necessary and should be averted by all legitimate means possible. The world needs truly intelligent, informed and sophisticated policy makers and not the kind of idiotic pseudo-cowboys like Bush and the naïve and dangerous Neo-Cons who put him in power and could still push America and the world into the abyss of a Final & Short Dark Age!
