America's Doomed
Campaign to Help 'Puppets and Traitors'
Does
America's veto of a U.N. Security Council resolution calling Israeli settlement
activity 'illegal' reflect U.S. plans to ' pervert it for their own gain' the
uprising cropping up around the Muslim world? According to this editorial from
Iran's Kayhan, while Iran stands with peaceful Muslim demonstrators -
except their own of course - the U.S. is fighting a doomed rearguard action to preserve
its interests.
As expected, the United
States has once again vetoed a draft U.N. resolution condemning the expansion
of illegal Israeli settlements on occupied Palestinian territories. America has
turned a deaf ear to international calls and Palestinian appeals for an
immediate stop.
[On February 18, the United
States vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution that condemned the construction
of "illegal" Israeli settlements on occupied Palestinian territory.
The United States says that while it considers the settlements 'illegitimate,' it
thought the resolution would make peace talks more difficult to accomplish.]
The unjustified but
foreseeable veto was another example of American double standards toward the
Middle East. It also highlights the growing need to reform the U.N. Security
Council by democratizing its decision-making process, which has become the
epitome of the global power structure. Because there is no alternative to the United
Nations, and a reformed U.N. is the best guarantor of world peace and development.
Whatever the motives behind
the veto - narrow national interests, domestic political pressure or
maintaining America's unprincipled shield of the Zionist entity, the Obama
regime can do what it deems right. But it must also accept the cost, because
with ongoing uprisings and revolutions in the Middle East, Washington is risking
the loss of its global credibility and relevance.
This time around, U.S.
representatives were completely alone at the Security Council, because the
draft resolution had garnered the approval of more than 130 UN members and,
during the Friday vote, all the other 14 members of the Council said "yes."
Poignantly, this was the
first veto cast under the Obama Administration, a move that reflects decades of
US intervention in Security Council decisions regarding the Middle East.
Indeed, of the 14 vetoes cast since 2000by the five permanent members of the impotent
Council, nine have come from the U.S., which acted alone to obstruct
anti-Israel resolutions.
It goes without saying that as
autocratic U.S. allies are being systematically challenged and overthrown by
popular movements in the Arab world keenly sensitive to double standards, Washington's
veto will be particularly costly. In other words, the rage that has spread
across the Middle East, starting from Tunisia, after what happened at the U.N.
on Friday, will continue to topple other U.S.-backed puppets and traitors.
Just as importantly, what
began in Iran in the summer of 2009 is much the opposite. U.S.-backed
supporters of the corrupt and authoritarian puppet who was kicked out in a genuine
revolution in 1979 are trying to make a comeback by trying to pose as
liberators and attempting to compare themselves with the Egyptians, Tunisians
and Bahrainis.
But falsehood can never
sustain itself against the truth. U.S.-funded opposition of "green"
spies with the Zionist regime at the helm has already lost momentum. They planned
a rally for February 14 and the White House was very excited. It sent large
amounts of money to its "green" agents, and on February 13th, the
State Department sent numerous tweets in Farsi to these hoodlums, instructing
them to begin their dirty work of thuggery and violence on the streets of Tehran.
The "greens" make
up a very small circle of Tehran “elites” along with supporters of the former
Shah who live in North America and Western Europe. This boils down to a small
group of dissidents pitted against 75 million supporters of the Islamic
Revolution in Iran! No wonder Obama and his "Valentine's Day"
conspiracy was a resounding flop, with barely a 400 CIA-coached loafers burning
a few tires and running helter-skelter.
On February 15th, Facebook
was flooded with congratulatory messages from the Egyptian people and other
Muslim nations to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, President
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the 70-plus million people of Iran, for the failure of
the CIA-backed "greens" - the counterparts of Mubarak's undercover
thugs.
In the same way, the hope is
that the revolutionary people of Egypt, Tunisia, Bahrain, Libya, Yemen and
other regional states will remain on guard (like their Iranian counterparts) to
protect their newborn freedom and democracy from being hijacked by Washington
and its allies, who are desperate to pervert it for its own gain, retake the
Middle East and reclaim their vanished credibility and relevance.
