The Israeli and the United States Governments, both with powerful nuclear arsenals and self-righteous pretensions to have the right to attack anyone anywhere over perceived threats to "National Security", have made it clear that they want to attack Iran on the grounds that Iran is a serious nuclear and regional threat.
Meanwhile, Iran has never even invaded anybody in its entire modern history, its supreme leader continues to issues Fatwas against the use of nuclear weapons, and the IAEA has yet to find any evidence of a viable nuclear weapons program. On top of that, America's own intelligence agencies recently said as much too, that there is no evidence of an active nuclear weapons program.
So, since Israel and the White House have no real proof to support an attack on Iran, they have had to leap into that chapter right out of Hitler's Mein Kampf, the one that expounds upon telling the Big Lie, constantly, endlessly, until the masses or more or less hypnotised into believing it to be true. This is an attitude, of course, of profound contempt toward the everyday citizens of America, Europe and Israel, that is, you and I, whom these students of Fascist methodology consider complete imbeciles and puppets on strings, who can be manipulated to believe what they want.
Russia, however, is not about to swallow any of this, and as AP reporter Vladimir Isachenkov wrote on Friday June 20:
Russia's foreign minister on Friday warned against the use of force on Iran, saying there is no proof it is trying to build nuclear weapons.
Sergey Lavrov said Iran should be engaged in dialogue and encouraged to cooperate with the U.N. nuclear monitoring agency. (source)
Lavrov went on to say something that is powerful proof that everything Olmert, Bush and Cheney has been saying is utter propaganda:
Lavrov said Russia had asked both the United States and Israel to provide factual information to back their claims that Iran was working to build atomic weapons. “So far we have seen none, and the same conclusion was made by the International Atomic Energy Agency,” he said.
“It's absolutely not right to speak matter-of-factly that Iran continues building nuclear weapons,” Lavrov added. (source)
Does anyone think that Israel and the White House, who are chomping at the bits to devastate Iran, would hesitate for one second to convince one of the greatest obstacles to their agenda, Russia, that Iran is trying to make nuclear weapons? Of course not. In effect, they have been playing poker with a bad hand, and Russia has called their bluff. SHOW US THE PROOF, the Russians demand, because if anyone should know what's going on in Iran, it is Russia, which has workmen, technicians and officials all over that country.
The Neocons are trying to bullshit their way into another vile war, one with potentially even worse reuslts than the ones they have already started. What more would could you expect, though, from such delusional, violence-filled creatures?
