Are the War Hawks Watching? In Lauded Iranian Film, Self-Interest Yields Tragedy

Richard Silverstein, Truthout: ''After watching the film, I was tempted to see it as a moral allegory for the insanity that currently reigns in relations between Iran and the West. Just like the couple in the film and the two separate families, who each act out of good motives, but whose obtuseness leads to tragedy, so Iran and its enemies seem hellbent on a confrontation that can only lead to tragedy for everyone involved.''

The Ayatollah Is Right About One Thing: Nuclear Weapons Are Sinful

Robert Scheer, Truthdig: ''Of course the world s people should be alarmed by the prospect of Iran, or any other nation, joining the nuclear weapons club. But demonizing Iran and attempting to further isolate that nation s leadership hardly advances the cause of nonproliferation. If Washington can find a basis of reasonable accommodation with a bizarrely erratic and paranoid North Korea, serious negotiations with Iran should be eminently possible.''

Some of you were there in Hiroshima when, like an Old Testament prophet, he warned that the human species faces a stark choice: either we eliminate the world's nuclear arsenals, or we will suffer the apocalyptic nuclear wars that will inevitably follow.''

Obama Officials Talking Tougher About Iran as Netanyahu Visit Approaches

Bloomberg

02/29/12

Obama administration officials are escalating warnings that the U.S. could join Israel in attacking Iran if the Islamic republic doesn t dispel [manufactured] concerns that its nuclear-research program is aimed at producing weapons. Four days before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to arrive in Washington, Air Force Chief of Staff General Norton Schwartz told reporters that the Joint Chiefs of Staff have prepared military options to strike Iranian nuclear sites in the event of a conflict...

Iran: Scapegoat for a bankrupt empire

Future of Freedom Foundation
by Tim Kelly

So, given that Iran poses no real threat to the United States and is not even a regional threat because it is dependent on exporting its oil, why are so many American politicians baying for war against the Islamic Republic? To get an answer, we should recall what H. L. Mencken said: The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary...

Noam Chomsky, Truthout: ''One of Israel s leading strategic analysts, Zeev Maoz, in 'Defending the Holy Land,' his comprehensive analysis of Israeli security and foreign policy, concludes that 'the balance sheet of Israel s nuclear policy is decidedly negative', harmful to the state's security. He urges instead that Israel should seek a regional agreement to ban weapons of mass destruction: a WMD-free zone, called for by a 1974 UN General Assembly resolution.''

The methodology of the War Party doesn t vary all that much: in every war we have been duped into fighting, the pattern has been pretty much the same. First, we are given fabricated 'intelligence,' which has been 'cherry-picked' .... 'A senior official' reveals Iran s nuclear weapons program is much farther along than anyone thought: a 'top aide' to the White House tells us 'all options are on the table,' and ready to go. Eventually we reach the climactic moment when the President hauls out some incriminating 'evidence' of the Enemy s evil intentions ...
