  
THE LIAR'S AGENDA? by Charlie Reese/atoyuma/"sileces"By No comments

paint Iran as a threat to the world? (Remember what a threat they
said Iraq was?) Why, if the United States is really concerned about
preventing the spread of nuclear weapons, has it steadfastly refused
to endorse the idea of a nuclear-free Middle East â€" something Iran
and the Arab countries have proposed time and again?
Finally, of course, there is the matter of deterrence. Deterrence
worked against the Soviet Union's 30,000 nuclear weapons and the
means of delivering them. Anybody who says Iran would not be deterred
from using a handful of nuclear weapons â€" assuming it even developed
them â€" is a fool or a liar.
Furthermore, Iran would gain nothing by attacking Israel, the U.S. or
Europe. Americans might disagree with how Iranians choose to run
their country, but that doesn't mean that Iran's leaders are insane.
They are, in fact, intelligent and well-educated.
As for the United States' latest claim that Iran is supplying weapons
to the Taliban, I simply don't believe it. The U.S. government has
lied and lied to the American people. It has zero credibility. Iran
is a Shiite country; the Taliban are a fanatical Sunni sect. Iran
volunteered its assistance during the initial American attack on
Afghanistan. Why would Iran suddenly change its mind?
