Arab League backs IranÂ’s right to peaceful nuclear energy
2006-06-15
CAIRO - The Arab League said Wednesday that Iran had the right to develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, as laid down in the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. “We support Iran’s position on the peaceful use of atomic energy because this right is enshrined in the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty,” Arab League Secretary General Amr Moussa said.
Not him again!
I thought he had a heart attack?
“This right exists for all Arab and non-Arab countries which have signed the NPT and wish to achieve progress,” Mussa added. But he stressed the region was not in need of a military nuclear programme.
"No, no! Certainly not!"
“This applies to Iran and Israel and others,” Mussa said.
"Especially Israel."
"Technically, mostly Israel."
“The objective should be to clear the Middle East region of all weapons of mass destruction, first and foremost nuclear weapons,” the Arab League chief emphasised.
"So that we can kill all the Jooooz without getting our asses kicked," he added.
Iran’s top nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani, during a visit last week to Cairo where the Arab League is based, urged all Muslim countries to follow in his country’s footsteps and develop a nuclear energy program. “The nuclear issue affects the future of all Muslim countries,” Larijani said on Saturday.
Like whether there will be Muslim countries in the future.

#4  No one will ever admit it, but the Arabs need the Jews.

Good way to put it, SteveS!

Now if we could only get the proper parties to start internalizing this, we might make some progress. The proper parties being the Arab street. And many educated, too, I will add. Seems as thought it's difficult to get that childhood programming out of their system.

So who do you think the "leadership" would turn to for their next scapegoat if Israel were to throw itself into the sea? Or would they suddenly start acting civilized?

#3  "...Israel."
"...mostly Israel."
"...Israel."

We should probable mention Israel, since in the final analysis, it *is* mostly about the Jooooos.

Let's do a little thought experiment and imagine that the Jews have finally gotten tired of their annoying, explosive neighbors and thrown themselves into the sea. What now for the Arab world? Your governments are still oppressive and medieval. Your people are still uneducated and non-productive. Your economies are based on exporting naturals resources, a Third World condition. The only difference is you still suck as countries, your people are still unhappy but now there is not a scapegoat in sight. Except for their leaders. No one will ever admit it, but the Arabs need the Jews.

"Especially Israel."
"Technically, mostly Israel."
"Well, okay, it really only applies to Israel."

#1  Iran has had the right to domestic energy since the Shah - SUPPORTING a VIOLENCE-ORIENTED REVOLUTIONARY GLOBALIST RADIC ISLAMIST AGENDA WHILE ALSO HAVING OFICIOS PROCLAIM HOW IRAN'S NUCLEAR WEAPONS WILL BE PEACEFUL tends to make people wary or distrustful.
