Get your voices ready

USA defence secretary Donald Rumsfeld has told a German newspaper that "All options, including the military one, are on the table", in relation to Iran. It seems qutie obvious to me, that as long as the Bush administration is in power, this is inevitable. Iran will be the next country invaded by the US. The reason? Iran is restarting their nuclear program. They are building more centrifuges to enrich uranium. Iran claims it is for nuclear power and research. The USA says they are going to build nuclear weapons. The USA says that Iran is one of the biggest terroist sponsoring nations in the world. The USA says that the terroist organisations are seeking nuclear weapons... Is it just me or is this world FUCKING PARANOID?!

Now I don't want Iran to have nuclear weapons. So if that's their real agenda I agree they shouldn't be enriching uranium. But then again I don't want the USA to have nuclear weapons either. In fact, I don't want ANY nuclear weapons to exist on this planet. EVER. What I do have a problem with is the lack of ethics in all of this. The united states has a wicked arsenal of nuclear weapons. Now there have been several NPT's (Nuclear Proliferation Treaties) since world war 2 to prevent nukes from being used again. One was to deplete nuclear arsenals. One was to not develop any more nukes. One was to ban testing of nukes etc.. The united states (and some other nations) have either pulled out of certain treaties or not adheared to them.

The USA has told the UN to stay out of their nuclear affairs and yet when another nation gives the UN Security Council greif, the USA starts talking about going to war with them! Now whether or not these countries DO have nuclear ability, I don't believe the USA has the right.

So get your voices ready. Within the next few years there will probably be another war. Another massive drain on economic resources. Another humanitarian disaster. Another violation of international law. Another step down the road of greed, fear and power. This time we who believe in peace and justice, need to be heard.
