Iran Replaces USD with Euro as Reserve Currency..and so begin the war

It is really a bold move (click here) . Strategically it is within Iran's sovereign right. However no other nation has the ball to make the first move ditching the sinking dollar for fear of US brutal retaliation.

Saddam tried and was hung for it. And now I sense war with Iran is inevitable.

Iran’s Many Wars

June 25, 2009

Former Iranian President Ali Akbar Hasemi Rafsanjani (AP)

A specter is haunting Iran, the specter of a bloody civil war. Underneath the heroic movement for democracy by millions of Iranians, we are witnessing the final acts of a protracted war for the control of the Iranian economy, and the possibility of violent confrontations within the conservative block that ruled the country in the past thirty years.

June 12th was a coup d’état by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) against Hashemi Rafsanjani and his family oligarchy. The Iranian economy has been the private turf of a handful of economic and political mafias since the revolution. Hashemi Rafsanjani and his extended family were among the first groups benefiting from Iran’s crony capitalism.

Using his political influence as President of Iran, and Speaker of the Parliament, Rafsanjani created a vast family dynasty. Initiating the liberalization of the economy after the war with Iraq, Rafsanjani ushered an ambitious privatization program, allowing members of his family, and other insiders, to take possession of state property at far bellow market prices. The family made a fortune when Rafsanjani opened the oil industry to private Iranian contractors. By the end of the 1990s, the economic power of the family was unparalleled in Iran’s private sector. In recent years, however, the family dynasty has been facing fierce competition, particularly from IRGC.

Since the 1990s, IRGC slowly transformed itself from a sheer military force, to a complex military, political, and economic oligarchy in control of main arteries of the Iranian economy. It is now a large holding company with multi-billion dollar, legal and illegal, contracts in oil, water, electricity, transport, foreign trade, and other economic sectors.

In 1999, Mehdi Karrubi, then the Speaker of the Parliament, made public IRGC’s smuggling activities through sixty illegal docs. In May 2004, hours after the grand opening of Imam Khomeini Airport in Tehran, armed members of IRGC stormed the compound, closing it down for alleged security reasons. It was later revealed that, using the airport, IRGC had been smuggling goods to the country.

The 2005 presidential victory of Mahmood Ahmadinejad, a former Revolutionary Guard, provided IRGC with a new advantage in its economic war with competitors. Rafsanjani ran unsuccessfully against Ahmadinejad, losing the race due to widespread vote rigging. The election was a turning point in the relationship between ITGC and Rafsanjani. The economic war intensified.

Ahmadinejad vowed to fight and eliminate the “oil mafia.” Appointing veteran guardsmen to cabinet positions, he gave IRGC the control of nine ministries, including Defense, Energy, and the lucrative Ministry of Petroleum, a stronghold of Rafsanjani family, the “oil mafia.”Access to the oil industry proved instrumental for IRGC. The economic war entered a new stage. IRGC aggressively penetrated areas once dominated by the Rafsanjani family.

Since the election of Ahmadinejad in 2005, the National Oil Company of Iran awarded IRGC a no-bid contract to develop the 15th and 16th phases of South Pars Gas, and another contract to build a 600-mile “peace pipeline” from Iran to Pakistan and India. IRGC also received a large contract to build a 900-kilometer pipeline from the Persian Gulf in the south to Sistan and Baluchestan in Iran’s southeast.

Aided by the increase in oil prices, Ahmadinajad pursued populist economic policies, gaining the support of a noticeable section of the electorate. High oil revenue, for a short period, reduced tension between different oligarchies. The decline in oil prices, however, ended the period of peaceful coexistence. A showdown was inevitable. It came during the recent Presidential Elections.

Mahmood Ahamadinejad’s attack on Rafsanjani and his family during his televised debate with Mir Hossein Mousavi was a calculated move, a political maneuver paving the ground for an all out war in later weeks and months. Rafsanjani requested permission to defend himself on Iran’s state-owned television network. His request was rejected. He formally complained to Ayatollah Khamenei. He was ignored, and silenced in the days that followed. Declaring victory in the elections, Ahmadinejad promised to prosecute and bring to justice those he assaulted during his campaign.

The days following June 12th were full of unanticipated developments. Millions of the Iranians poured into the streets, protesting on daily basis. Supporters of Ahmadinejad also waged two separate rallies in Qom, and in front of the Ministry of Justice in Tehran, with slogans against Rafsanjani. Addressing his supporters during Friday prayers at Tehran University on June 19th, Ayatollah Khamenei suggested dealing with Rafsanjani’s family’s economic misconducts through legal channels, while giving full support to Mahmood Ahmadinejad, and ordering a crackdown of all protests. The IRGC coup d’état seemed to have achieved its goal.

Ayatollah Khamenei’s orders to shoot, however, failed to stop people’s fury. The day after, millions poured to the streets of Tehran in an open defiance of the Supreme Leader. Many died, more injured. Violence, however, failed to stop the popular cry for democracy. Unanticipated by IRGC and the Supreme Leader, the continuing street protests opened a new front, influencing the future of the economic war, its winners, and its loses. The powerful democracy movement became the wild card in the battle for the control of Iran, and a possible savior of Rafsanjani in his final battle for survival.

Failing to negotiate a deal, Rafsanjani traveled to Qom, lobbying high-ranking clerics, and using his influence as the head of the Assembly of Experts to create The Council of Leaders to replace Ayatollah Khamenei. Empowered by the constitution to appoint and dismiss the Supreme Leader, the Assembly of Experts is Rafsanjani’s last legal resort in his long battle with IRG and Ayatollah Khamenei.

The removal of the Supreme Leader, if approved by the Assembly of Experts, may, however, prove costly and dangerous, risking a confrontation between various military factions within the ruling elite. Anticipating such an outcome, the Supreme Leader has ordered a reshuffling of top IRGC commanders, removing those suspected of loyalty to Rafsanjani.

Not a monolithic organization, in its leadership, and among the ordinary guards, IRGC may also face possible internal rifts, fracturing in the days and weeks to come. More than one-third of IRGC’s rank and file voted for Mohammad Khatami and his reformist platform in 1997. Dissertation and refusal to shoot at demonstrators remains a possibility. The continuation of the protests may also result in rifts within the Security forces, and the army.

The fight for political reform is intertwined with an entrenched factional struggle within the regime. Unlike 1979 when Iranians fought against a single, and undivided, political and military regime, Iran’s current political elite is divided. Different armed groups back various conservative factions. The rift within the Islamic Republic may be a blessing for the democracy movement, a breathing space for regrouping, and moving forward. It may also be a recipe for an uncontrolled factional violence. The democracy movement may become collateral damage in a larger war. The future remains unclear.

Iran - Model Kepimpinan Ulamak Yang Gagal?

Jika kita memerhatikan perkembangan yang berlaku di Iran kita tidak dapat lari dari imej yang terpancar di kaca TV kita iaitu kebanyakan yang turun memprotes kemenangan Ahmadenijad di Tehran dengan jumlah beratus ribu malah berjuta adalah dari golongan muda dan terpelajar. Golongan yang sedar dan terdidik ini memprotes kemenangan golongan konservatif yang sekali gus adalah golongan mullah iaitu golongan agama .

Tiga puluh tahun dahulu golongan yang menyokong Ayatolah Khamenei adalah golongan yang sama. Terpelajar dan muda. Mereka menyokong Ayatollah kerana menentang pemerintahan Takhta Merak milik Shah Reza Pahlavi. Kerajaan yang pada mereka menindas, tidak cekap dan korup.

Iran mungkin negara pertama yang mengenengahkan model negara Islam berkepimpinan ulama. Iran juga merupakan saru-satunya negara di rantau Timur tengah yang mempunyai model demokrasi yang hampir bebas. Aku katakan hampir bebas kerana pemimpin tertinggi di Iran bukan Presiden yang dilantik rakyat, tetapi golongan ulamak yang diketuai oleh seorang yang berpangkat Ayatollah. Kumplan Ulamak ini mempunyai kuasa untuk memveto presiden mereka. Begitu juga mereka mempunyai kuasa untuk memecat Ayatollah mereka. Jadi mereka mempunyai sistem ' check and balance' mereka sendiri.

Jika anda perhatikan, Parti PAS mempunyai model pemerintahan yang serupa. PAS mempunyai Dewan Ulamak yang diketuai oleh Mursyidul amnya yang berkedudukan diatas Presiden. Jadi aku andaikan jika PAS berjaya dalam pemerintahan negara ini, model negara Islam mereka juga mungkin lebih kurang sama dengan apa yang ada di Iran. Mungkin dengan sedikit tambahan, iaitu Institusi Raja-Raja Melayu (itu pun jika mereka tidak berdendam dengan Raja Melayu yang mengarahkan mereka turun takhta di Kuala Kangsar).

Hakikat yang hendak aku katakan disini adalah setelah berjaya membentuk satu Daulah Islamiah mereka sendiri, golongan ulamak ini tetap juga tidak disenangi oleh rakyatnya. Mereka dilihat tidak dapat memahami aspirasi golongan muda di Iran. Rasuah masih berlaku dalam sistem Islam mereka. Inilah yang menyebabkan kebangkitan golongan muda mereka. Perlu kita ingat sekali pun gerakan ini didalangi oleh Amerika dan sekutunya, perkara ini tidak berlaku jika rakyat Iran sendiri tidak bangkit merusuh. Tanpa bibit-bibit tidak puas hati yang tersemat dibenak rakyatnya, Iran tidak mungkin menghadapi masalah sebegini.

Soalnya mengapakah sistem yang kononnya Islamik masih menghadapi kerenah yang serupa dengan sistem yang tidak Islamik. Rasuah dan tidak cekap? Yang paling penting adalah golongan muda yang terdidik juga tidak menyenangi golongan ulamak dan golongan konservatif ini. Adakah ini bermakna model negara Islam berkepimpinan ulamak juga gagal memenuhi aspirasi rakyat?.

Pada pemerhatian aku yang tidak cukup ilmu ini, semua sistem pemerintahan memerlukan pendokong yang tidak mementingkan diri sebaliknya mementingkan perjuangan dan rakyatnya. Tetapi hakikatnya itu sangat sukar dilaksanakan kerana hampir semua manusia samaada mullah, ayatollah, mursyidul am atau apa sahaja mempunyai nafsu kemanusiaan yang sukar dikekang. Itulah sebabnya model sistem Khalifah Islam yang sepatutnya menjadi asas pemerintahan Islam hanya dapat bertahan 4 pemerintahan sahaja. Kuasa dan harta boleh membutakan mata hati malah kepada orang yang terdekat dengan Rasulallah.

Ini mendorong aku bertanya kepada pendokong-pendokong yang ingin menegakkan negara Islam di Malaysia, Model apa yang kalian mahu gunakan memandangkan Malaysia lebih kompleks dari Iran, kerana hanya 51% penduduk yang beragama Islam. Dan setakat ini hampir semua negara Islam mundur atau dikekang dengan rasuah dan ketidak cekapan. Malah jika kita tengak pada fiil ketua-ketua yang duduk didewan ulamak, aku kira negara Islam Malaysia yang diidam akan tersungkur lebih awal..kalau dah rumahtangga tak tahu nak jaga bagaimana nak jaga negara (klik sini)? Setakat ini negara Malaysia Darul Islam boleh ditunda-tunda.

Salam untuk semua.

IRAN Falling to US Covert Action

InfowarsJune 22, 2009
President Obama called on the Iranian government to allow protesters to control the streets in Tehran. Would Obama or any US president allow protesters to control the streets in Washington, D.C.?

We are now witnessing in Tehran US "attempts to foment a popular revolution" in the guise of another CIA-orchestrated "color revolution".
There was more objective evidence that George W. Bush stole his two elections than there is at this time of election theft in Iran. But there was no orchestrated media campaign to discredit the US government.

On May 16, 2007, the London Daily Telegraph reported that Bush regime official John Bolton told the Telegraph that a US military attack on Iran would "be a ‘last option’ after economic sanctions and attempts to foment a popular revolution had failed."
We are now witnessing in Tehran US "attempts to foment a popular revolution" in the guise of another CIA-orchestrated "color revolution".

It is possible that splits among the mullahs themselves brought about by their rival ambitions will aid and abet what the Telegraph (May 27, 2007) reported were "CIA plans for a propaganda and disinformation campaign intended to destabilize, and eventually topple, the theocratic rule of the mullahs." It is certainly a fact that the secularized youth of Tehran have played into the CIA’s hands.

The Mousavi protests have set up Iran either for a US puppet government or for a military strike. The mullahs are in a lose-lose situation. Even if the mullahs hold together and suppress the protests, the legitimacy of the Iranian government in the eyes of the outside world has been damaged. Obama’s diplomatic approach is over before it started. The neocons and Israel have won.

The US intervention and the orchestrated disinformation pumped out by the western media are so transparent that it is impossible to believe than any informed person or government is taken in. One cannot avoid the conclusion that the West wants the 1978 Iranian Revolution overthrown and intends to use deception or violence to achieve that goal.
It has become increasingly difficult to believe that facts and truth motivate the western news media. For the record, I would like to point out a few of the most obvious oversights, to use a euphemism, in the Iran reporting.

According to a wide variety of news sources (for example, London Telegraph, Yahoo News, The Globe and Mail, Asbarez.com, Politico), "Before the polling closed Mr. Mousavi declared himself ‘definitely the winner’ based on ‘all indications from all over Iran.’ He alleged widespread voting irregularities without giving specifics and hinted he was ready to challenge the final results."
A d v e r t i s e m e n t

Other news sources, which might not have been aware that the polls were kept open several hours beyond normal closing time in order to accommodate the turnout, reported that Mousavi made his victory claim the minute polls closed.

Mousavi’s premature claim of victory before polling was over or votes counted is clearly a preemptive move, the purpose of which is to discredit any other outcome. There is no other reason to make such a claim.

In Iran’s system, election fraud has no purpose, because a small select group of ruling mullahs select the candidates who are put on the ballot. If they don’t like an aspiring candidate, they simply don’t put him on the ballot.

When the liberal reformer Khatami ran for president, he won with 70% of the vote and served from 1997-2005. If the mullahs didn’t defraud Khatami of his win, it seems unlikely they would defraud an establishment figure like Mousavi, who was foreign minister in the most conservative government, and is backed by another establishment figure, Rafsanjani.

As Mousavi was seen as Rafsanjani’s man, why is it "unbelievable" that Ahmadinejad defeated Mousavi by the same margin that he defeated Rafsanjani in the previous election?
Neoconservative Kenneth Timmerman let the cat out of the bag that there was an orchestrated "color revolution" in the works. Before the election, Timmerman wrote: "there’s talk of a ‘green revolution’ in Tehran." Why would protests be organized prior to a vote and announcement of the outcome? Organized protests waiting in the wings are not spontaneous responses to a stolen election.

Timmerman’s organization, Foundation for Democracy, is funded by the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) for the explicit purpose of promoting democracy in Iran. According to Timmerman, NED money was funneled to "pro-Mousavi groups who have ties to non-governmental organizations outside Iran that the National Endowment for Democracy funds."
The US media has studiously ignored all of these highly suggestive facts. The media is not reporting or providing objective analysis. It is engaged in a propagandistic onslaught against the Iranian government.

We know that the US funds terrorist organizations inside Iran that are responsible for bombings and other violent acts. It is likely that these terrorist organizations are responsible for the burning buses and other acts of violence that have occurred during the demonstrations in Tehran.

A writer on pakalert.wordpress.com says that he was intrigued by the sudden appearance of tens of thousands of Twitter allegations that Ahmadinejad stole the Iranian election. He investigated, he says, and he reports that each of the new highly active accounts were created on Saturday, June 13th. "IranElection" is their most popular keyword. He narrowed the spammers to the most persistent: @StopAhmadi @ IranRiggedElect @Change_For_Iran. He researched further and found that on June 14 the Jerusalem Post already had an article on the new Twitter.
He concludes that the new Twitter sites are propaganda operations.
One wonders why the youth of the world, who do not protest stolen elections elsewhere, are so obsessed with Iran.

The unexamined question is Mousavi and his motives. Why would Mousavi unleash demonstrations that are obviously being used by a hostile West to discredit the government of the Iranian Revolution that overthrew the US puppet government? Are these the actions of a "moderate"? Or are these the actions of a disgruntled man who kept his disaffection from his colleagues in order to gain the opportunity to discredit the regime with street protests? Is Mousavi being manipulated by organizations funded with US government money?
John Bolton laid out the US strategy. First we try to destabilize the regime. Failing that, we strike them militarily.

As this strategy unfolds, Iranians will pay in lost independence or in blood for the naiveness of its secularized youth and for the mistake the mullahs made in trusting Mousavi.

Iran Meratap.

Apa yang berlaku di Iran beberapa hari kebelakang perlu diperhatikan dengan teliti oleh kita semua. Apa yang telah berlaku dan bakal berlaku akan memberi impak kepada dunia Islam. Salah satu pengajaran yang perlu kita pelajari adalah betapa mudahnya untuk meruntuhkan sebuah negara.

Huru hara yang berlaku adalah disebabkan oleh keengganan calon Presiden Iran yang kalah Housam Musavi untuk menerima kekalahan beliau. Beliau tidak mengiktiraf kemenangan Ahmedinijad dan menuduh berlaku penipuan besar-besaran untuk memenangkan Ahmenijad. Aku katakan besar-besaran kerana Ahmedinijad menang dengan undi 60% sedangkan Musavi mendapat hanya 30%. Untuk menipu 30% undi bukan permainan budak kecil.

Hakikat Iran huru hara ini bukan kejadian kebetulan. Is sesuatu yang dirancangkan untuk terjadi oleh elemen-elemen yang memang mahu Iran musnah ( klik sini ). Banyak yang mahu Iran dimusnahkan termasuk beberapa negara Islam sendiri yang ketakutan dengan kebolehan Iran untuk membangunkan kuasa nuklearnya.

Hakikat banyak negara kecil diruntuhkan oleh Revolusi berwarna -warni dengan konduktornya dari tangan tangan hitam CIA bukan perkara baru. Velvet Revolution, Orange Revolution, Rose Revolution adalah suatu kod nama untuk 'rampasan kuasa' yang dilaksanakan secara remot oleh petualang-petualang yang bertindak atas nama demokrasi.

Banyak petanda bahawa Iran akan dijatuhkan oleh kuasa-kuasa yang takut dengan kebangkitanya akan berlaku. Semua bentuk serangan akan dilaksanakan dengan menggunakan rakyat Iran sendiri (klik sini) . Dan jika itu berlaku dengan tumpahan darah yang banyak apakah negara-negara barat akan simpati? sebenarnya itulah yang mereka mahu.

Aku juga tidak terkejut jika Israel tiba-tiba menyerang kemudahan nuklear Iran dalam keadaan kelam kabut begini . Itulah yang berlaku apabila ada pemimpin negara yang sanggup menjual negara untuk mendapat sedikit kuasa.

Dan Ini semua tidak mustahil berlaku di negara ini. Seorang pemimpin boleh sahaja mengistiharkan kekalahan beliau akibat penipuan dan mengajak penyokong-penyokongnya merusuh dan dengan demikian menghura-harakan negara untuk membolehkan kuasa asing mengambil alih. Kita lihat bagaimana ramai rakyat yang tidak tahu cerita sebenar atau faham isu sebenar yang sanggup berguling-guling diatas jalanraya untuk sedikit kuasa, sedangkan tangan sebenar yang merancang berseronok di bilik berhawa dingin.

Begitu mudah sekali menghuru harakan negara. Namun begitu kita harus mendoakan kesejahteraan Iran kerana sekalipun berlainan fahaman, Iran tetap saudara Islam kita dan sebarang darah yang tumpah adalah darah saudara kita. Tetapi ada diantara kita yang lebih suka darah saudara mereka tumpah asalkan mereka mendapat sedikit kuasa. Pengkhianat seperti Mousavi ada ramai dinegara ini.

Salam untuk Iran...

The Big Satans are at it again

These big Satans never stop. These so called bearer of freedom and democracy that actually never a freedom fighter. When he talks about truly popularly based government in Iran , he was not talking about a government which is popular with its people, he was talking about a government which is popular with the American. A government that serve the American interest. He was talking about a government head that will do their bidding.

Mahmud Ahmedinijad was elected with 60% votes. More than twice of that of his nearest opponent. Yet this election was declared a fraud without any shred of evidence. And this came from a guy who's President was once determined by a fraud voting system!. Nobody talk about regimes change then.

But what can u expect from a Nation that invade other nation based on fabricated evidence!

I resign to the fact that Iran will be their next target for a coward war fought from a distance. Wages by a bancrupt nation to save their skin. But believe me the war will never be about freedom and democracy. But if they cannot win in Iraq, they will never win in Iran. These Big Satans will just dig a big hole for themselves. Kiling and maiming women and children in the process.

US Urges IRAN To Become 'Productive' Member of The World

This has to be the funniest statement yet from the new Secretary of State Mdm Hillary Clinton. Of course I would expect more of such statement/s shall come out from her ( click here). What would you expect of the biggest bully who pretend they still rule the neighbourhood.

What does she mean by 'Productive'? Kow towing to the whims and fancies of the US, Israel and EU? Stopping all nuclear related activities regardless as to whether it was for peaceful purpose or not? Stopping all missilles development? Stopping sending sattelite into orbit?

The Iranian government has the responsibility to protect itself from outside threat and it has the responsibilty to develop itself to the best of her ability. The Iranian government need to protect its people, its resources from outside plunderer. That is a productive goverment. If they don't, the fate of Iraq awaits them. This they fully understand.

The US government should stop pretending that they are the 'beacon' of freedom and democracy. This is one government that never respect freedom and democracy. Not if it not according to their wish anyway.

There are so many documented misadventure of covert operation carried out by this rogue nation to takedown lawfully elected government all over the world that is not toeing their line, including in Iran.

Iran has also been accused of sponsoring terrorism but the biggest sponsor of terrorism is the United State itself. The biggest irony is that they have unleashed untold amount of horror and terror in the name of war against terror (click here). But yet the consider it just and justified.

They blame religion extremist who killed in the name of GOD yet they have President who heard GOD voices! and now they are going to teamed up with GOD chosen people to send second wave of global war on terror (click here).

Mdm Secretary is fully aware that the most unproductive and the most destructive country in the world is the country she is representing.

Citizens of the world - fasten your seat belt. Its going to be a rough rides.

Yes sir, The United Sates of America is running amok. If this news and this one are to be taken at face value then we are in for a rough rides. With the economy is expected to be on the downside for the next 3-5 years, international crisis - artifcially generated somemore, is the last thing we need. Or may be it is the first thing that the USA needs in order to remain relevant as the world superpower and to save the dying empire.

Now since the words are out, let see what are the possible scenarios;

1. US will impose martial law on their own country because of free falling economy and that they are technically insolvent and will not able to pay their debt. Their foreign debt runs into trillions and might have to default on their debts. See this analysis.

2. Nuclear war with Iran. This has been long anticipated and has been the agenda of the neo cons in the white house. Both the Presidential Candidates knew that who ever is the President of the US shall have to make this choice. Iran as we know is not Iraq. They have backing from Russia and Syria. Anyway, we all know what the out come of US Shock and awe tactic. The problem for the US will start the moment their personnel steps in Iran's territories. Most probably the war will spread all over Middle East. If the US win we shall see a new map of middle east. If the US win. This strategy is well published. Just look further in the net.

3. War with Russia. This is geo political and geo economic power struggle. The Red Bear knew whats Uncle Sam is up to. They have been watching nervously since the US started their Missiles Defence Shield program. The US has been surrounding the Russian Federation with Missile launcher and sophisticated radar in Poland and the Republic Chezch. Then come South Ossetia's conflict in which Russia smoothly overran Georgia's army which has been trained by the Israelis and US contractor. Russia has taken a pro active steps by sending their nuclear attack ship to the US backyard.

4. War with Pakistan. It is known that the US despise any Muslim nation having nuclear arm. It is also well known that the US cannot win in Afghan as long as the taleban can hide in mountaineous region inside Pakistan. The Fact is that Pakistan is in the abyss. It is technically insolvent and need to be rescued by IMF. We all know IMF is a parasitic organization. It wont help any nation that does not succumb to its wants and needs.

5.War with China?..Nahh...Even the tough talking American knew not to disturb the sleeping Dragon with 1 Billion people at her disposal!!!

There you are folks, all the possible scenarios that might be generated by the US to remind the world there are still THE power to beat.

Going for War with Iran?

Let me start my posting with an apology for my bad english. But since this posting is about impending international event, I will 'redah je'. So bear with me...

I dont like war, aren't we all? But if you read all the news ( at face value or between the line) re nuclear Iran, you will realise that this Persian Nation is putting itself on the verge of War with the world's biggest bully and its cohorts simply because it want to assert its right to have a nuclear technology. On the face of it you have a straight forward case of western civilization wanting to stop nuclear Iran from destroying the world ( You just dont trust the mullah with a nuclear bomb in their arsenal do you?), but if you went futher and read between the line, you understand that this not about all that. Its about someone wanted to dominate the world with- out their opponent putting up a fight. Its like a boxer wanted to win a fight with his opponent gagged and tied. Thats why they are called BULLY in the first place

If Iran were to be subjugated, it will complete the jigsaw puzzle, the complete control of the Caspian Basin and the control of the world most precious natural resources for a long time. Russia will be completely surrounded and isolated!

But I tell you that the brave New World would not has the ball to attack Iran on a level playing field. With their space age technology, they cannot even tame the stone age Afghan!.

Strategically, Iran has to arm it self even with nuclear weapon!. It would be stupid and blunderous on their part if they do not do so. Why are the western world is deafeningly silence on nuclear Israel? If you want a nuclear free region, strip off every nation in the world of nuclear arms. But logic and common sense have never been a factor in their calculation. Greed is.

So where are we heading? I believe we are heading into war. Nothing can stop those blood thirsty power grabber. But can they win complete control of Iran and the region? That is another matter altogether. The Persians are not those to let go without a fight. Remember the Shah? with all the support he had from his friends in the new world, he still fell. Remember Saddam? he has superior weapon supplied by the New World yet he could not take even an inch of Iran.

But if the New World do proceed with their plan, then we shall see a turning point in the history of mankind. But remember what God said in the Quran - " They scheme and God scheme but God is the better schemer" or something to that effect.

We do lives in an interesting time aren't we?
