| Tunisia: With a Wink and a Nod, U.S. Approves of the Iranian Bomb |
| 2006-04-26 |
| A very strange article... Shows how varied concepts can be in the mid-east. Premise: Is it possible that that Washington has tacitly given the go-ahead to Iran to build its nuclear bomb? According to this article from the Tunis Hebdo of Tunisia, just as the U.S. let Pakistan have the bomb to keep India from embracing the USSR too strongly, it is ready to sign off on an Iranian atom bomb, with security guarantees for Israel. All of this worries the oil-rich Gulf States, who fear the now almost inevitable arrival of the 'Shiite Crescent.' |

| #1 The difference is Pakistan is up against historical rivals India, over Kashmir; and China, which has no qualms taking over both Pakistan and India, etal. in the name of [future] Chinese- and Communism-centric East Asian hegemony. Other than post-Hafez Assad, dubious Syria, Iran is surrounded by predomin peaceful democratic or moderate states. |
