Spreading freedom in new ways UPDATED

George W. Bush and his neo-con cronies are planning the next war in the Middle East. This time they’ll try out another new weapon, the so-called Bunker Busters, which are small atomic bombs that can destroy underground facilities. The enemy is Iran and the nuclear weapons program they claim the country is working on. According to British The Independent, which quotes the American reporter Seymour Hersh:

One option under consideration, Mr Hersh reports, involves the possible use of a B61 nuclear "bunker-buster" bomb against Iran's main centrifuge plant, at Natanz. Last week the Federation of American Scientists alleged that a weapons test to be carried out in the Nevada desert in June was designed to simulate the effects of just such a bomb. Conventional explosives would be used, it said, for "a low-yield nuclear weapon ground shock simulation against an underground target".
The US Defence Threat Reduction Agency told The Independent on Sunday that the test, codenamed "Divine Strake", was intended "to assess the capability of computer codes" to predict the effects of the explosion. The experiment aimed to improve "warfighters' confidence in their ability to plan to defeat hardened and deeply buried targets". It did not refer to tactical nuclear weapons like the B61.
According to Mr Hersh, some officials are shocked at what they describe as "operational" planning which goes far beyond the usual work on hypothetical scenarios. One former defence official is quoted as saying the planning was based on a belief that "a sustained bombing campaign in Iran will humiliate the religious leadership and lead the public to rise up and overthrow the government".

To legitimize the attack the clique in Washington have been demonizing the Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. He has made some questionable statements on Holocaust and this seems to be one of the justifications for considering him a potential Adolf Hitler. The holocaust remarks are semi fascist, but otherwise any comparison with Hitler and the nazis is off the mark. The Iranians are not a threat to anyone else's freedom the way Hitler was. That means there are some ulterior motives for starting a new war in violation of international law.

The Iranian regime is considered a threat to Israel, and with the newly won strength of the Shiites in Iraq the Middle East is experiencing a build-up of too much Shiite power, in the eyes of the Americans. Bush, Rumsfeld and Cheney have shot at their own precious feet, and now they're on their way to making an even bigger blunder that'll cause hatred of the West all over the Middle East and the poor South. It'll beat the cartoons!
Now is the time when the Europeans should find out what their real interests are!!

It has not been verified by the IAEA that the civic atomic program of the Iranians is to be used for illicit fabrication of nuclear bombs. In all likelihood the Americans are planning a new WMD expedition, with concomitant lies and violation of international law.

It’ll be interesting to see how European leaders will react. France, Germany and Belgium were opposed to the Iraq war, much to the chagrin of the Americans. But this time Bush seems to have got them safely on board. In the Iraq war the Americans tested new heavy bombs in the initial "Shock and Awe" campaign. They failed, however, to bomb Saddam Husein to pieces. The Americans paid a heavy price for this: NATO cooperation was almost destroyed in Rumsfeld’s divisive talk of “Old” and “New” Europe.
Since then the Europeans' weakness has been exposed. The EU constitution that was meant to boost a common foreign policy and introduce a reinforced defence policy with a weapons agency that could foster technological renewal in the Old World, was rejected in the referendums in Holland and France. The economic giant had to admit it is a political mouse that has started cooperating more fully with the Americans out of fear of the consequences if it does not do so. - Bark poodle, bark - tyranny is in sight!!
