'Intemperate' Barack Obama: Give that Man a Cigarette!
Is Iran
being unfairly treated by a nicotine-starved President Obama? According to this
article from Iran's state-controlled Kayhan, President Obama's imbalanced attempt
to impose sanctions on Iran is foundering because the world considers past Western
behavior toward Iran to be unjust.
Barack Hussein Obama's recent
outbursts speak of impatience and a volatile personality. Since Mr. Obama is a
known smoker, his behavior can best be described, as they say in Britain, as
throwing a "nici fit." The term describes the anxiety that smokers
feel when levels of nicotine in their bodies begin to drop. Really, threatening
Iran with nuclear attack is taking things a little too far; someone give the man
a cigarette before he blows up Russia or China in the throes of a nici fit!
The nuclear summit in
Washington has concluded, and the current U.S. president and ex-lawyer Obama
strangely had little of consequence to say afterwards. immediately before the
summit, China put a damper on the aspirations of the P5+1 group [top impose
sanctions on Iran] with a declaration of a lack of intent. President Medvedev of
Russia, with a very conservative Kremlinesque remark, also indicated that he
wasn't sold on the idea. So the P5+1 - the U.S., Britain, France, Russia and China,
plus the Germans, always the poor old cousins - came away empty handed.
So have the Western powers woken
up to what's really happening with international public opinion?
For thirty years, the world
has watched the West beat on Iran. Almost every accusation made against Iran
and its people has proven a fabrication. The world watched hundreds of
thousands of Iranian children embrace death on the battlefronts of the Iraqi
imposed war, which was a tragedy engineered by Tel Aviv, Washington and London.
The world watched again as
Iran's eastern border with Afghanistan became another battlefield - and as
Tehran's lonely efforts to stem the flow of narcotics to the West claimed more
Iranian lives. The world stared in disbelief as Western-backed terrorist groups
killed Iranians in their thousands. And the West still held its tongue.

But now the band of
international brothers and sisters otherwise known as humanity are voting with
their actions. Just why has Iran been so mistreated over these three decades?
What harm have any countries come to due to Iranian actions? Hasn't Iran sought
to shield all children from the harm done by illicit drugs? Have we failed to
offer shelter to the children dying in hails of bullets and bombs? Have we
taken from any member of the international community what doesn't belong to us?
Has Iran been bad for trade, peace or stability?
The answer is no, which is
the very same answer President Obama received to his call for further sanctions
this past weekend.
Iranian society and democracy
have some way to go. There are many rivers to cross before Iran realizes its
revolutionary ideals and projects its revolutionary heritage into the future.
And Iranians don't feel that they have to be perfect every time.
But the cruel and uncaring
nature of the Western world and its allies has been made visible purely through
Iran's resistance to foreign interference. We're bad for the pipedream-image
that the West tries to project for itself. That may be Iran's fault, but we can
hardly abandon our principles if our truth undermines a big lie.
Looking at the Western
world's jest and fancy, its plastic self-promotion, its brash upstart manners,
its rejection of all that doesn't suit its considerable tastes - those in the
know reject the Western-imposed status quo.
President Obama's failure to
grasp this collective global state of mind has become his biggest impediment.
Why threaten nuclear attack Mr. Obama, when a gesture toward undoing thirty years
of injustice against Iran could do the trick?
Perhaps we have overlooked
the U.S. administration's need to feed its self-created monster the military
industrial complex - a phenomenon whose voracious appetite is satisfied only
via scaremongering and war making.
