The Gravest Threat to World Peace

Is not Iran in spite of what the Wall Street Journal would like you to believe:

"Reporting on the final U.S. presidential campaign debate, on foreign policy, The Wall Street Journal observed that 'the only country mentioned more (than Israel) was Iran, which is seen by most nations in the Middle East as the gravest security threat to the region...'"

"The Journal article, like countless others on Iran, leaves critical questions unanswered, among them: Who exactly sees Iran as the gravest security threat? And what do Arabs (and most of the world) think can be done about the threat, whatever they take it to be?

"The first question is easily answered. The 'Iranian threat' is overwhelmingly a Western obsession, shared by Arab dictators, though not Arab populations.

"As numerous polls have shown, although citizens of Arab countries generally dislike Iran, they do not regard it as a very serious threat. Rather, they perceive the threat to be Israel and the United States; and many, sometimes considerable majorities, regard Iranian nuclear weapons as a counter to these threats.

"In high places in the U.S., some concur with the Arab populations' perception, among them Gen. Lee Butler, former head of the Strategic Command. In 1998 he said, 'It is dangerous in the extreme that in the cauldron of animosities that we call the Middle East,' one nation, Israel, should have a powerful nuclear weapons arsenal, which 'inspires other nations to do so.'"

Noam Chomsky: The Gravest Threat to World Peace

Well he is just like everyone is from time to time,just plan wrong.
Wrong about what?

The fact that most Arabs view the US and Israel as bigger threats to peace in the Middle East than Iran?

Maybe you know why only two countries on this planet are allowed to possess nuclear weapons in that part of the world? One country has illegally acquired dozens if not hundreds of such devices, and the other is the only "democracy" that's ever actually used such weapons.

That's just plain wrong.

Noam Chomsky: The Gravest Threat to World Peace

As always, Chumpsky takes the one-eyed shortcut. Debate mentions aside, it isn't Israel herself which is the greatest threat to world peace (that would be Russia with lots of nukes and little reason to secure them) but rather the fact that Israel exists in the tinderbox known as the Mideast and her "peaceful" Arab neighbors just can't seem to accept that fact. :D
Actually the greatest threat to world peace (almost by definition) would be the greatest purveyor of violence in the world. Only one among 194 countries has maimed, murdered, displaced, and incarcerated millions of innocent Muslims on the opposite side of the planet from its homeland in the last two decades.

The claim that Israel exists in a "tinderbox known as the Mideast" stems directly from carving a Jewish homeland out of Arab real estate. When 650,000 Jews inflicted Greater Israel on twice as many Arabs in 1948, the "peaceful" majority didn't require a "one-eyed shortcut" to perceive its future.

Chomsky is smart enough and honest enough to see and admit this.
You're not.

'Cancerous tumour' Israel will soon be destroyed, says Ahmadinejad




Israel’s existence is an “insult to all humanity,” Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Friday, in one of his sharpest attacks yet against the Jewish state, which is currently debating whether to attack Iran over its nuclear program.


By News Wires (text)





AFP - Israel is a "cancerous tumour" that will soon be finished off, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Friday told demonstrators holding an annual protest against the existence of the Jewish state.

"The Zionist regime and the Zionists are a cancerous tumour. Even if one cell of them is left in one inch of (Palestinian) land, in the future this story (of Israel's existence) will repeat," he said in a speech in Tehran marking Iran's Quds Day that was broadcast on state television.

"The nations of the region will soon finish off the usurper Zionists in the Palestinian land.... A new Middle East will definitely be formed. With the grace of God and help of the nations, in the new Middle East there will be no trace of the Americans and Zionists," he said.

The diatribe took place amid heightened tensions between Israel and Iran over Tehran's disputed nuclear programme.

The Jewish state has in recent weeks intensified its threats to possibly bomb Iran's nuclear facilities to prevent it having the capability to produce atomic weapons.

Iran, which is suffering under severe Western sanctions, denies its nuclear programme is anything but peaceful. Its military has warned it will destroy Israel if it attacks.









ANALYSIS




















ISRAEL

Israel steps up war rhetoric against Iran




State television showed crowds marching under blazing sunshine in Tehran and other Iranian cities to mark Quds Days, whose name, derived from Arabic, designates the city of Jerusalem, the disputed future capital of both the Israelis and the Palestinians.

Demonstrators held up Palestinian flags and pictures of Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and banners reading "Death to Israel" and "Death to America." A group in Tehran was shown burning an Israeli flag.

The marches have been an annual event during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan in Iran, ever since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

They underline Iran's antipathy to Israel and its ally the United States, and support for the Palestinian cause, which Khamenei on Wednesday called "a religious duty."

The supreme leader described Israel as a "bogus and fake Zionist outgrowth" in the Middle East that "will disappear."

The head of Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guards, General Mohammad Ali Jafari, told the Fars news agency as he attended the Tehran rally that "the Iranian nation has always been at the forefront of the (regional anti-Israeli) resistance in showing its animosity with Israel."

He added that Iran intended to maintain that virulent stance.

Ahmadinejad, in his speech, claimed that "Zionists" triggered the first and second world wars, and had "taken control over world affairs since the moment they became dominant over the US government."

He asserted that major governments, banks and media were in thrall to a Zionist cabal whose aim was to "destroy the cultures, values and sovereignty of nations."

Ahmadinejad's past broadsides against Israel and its Jewish supports, and his denial that the Holocaust occurred, have earned him opprobrium from Western and other nations, and walk-outs during his addresses to the UN General Assembly.

Israel has been employing its own invective against Iran and its leaders, invoking the image of Hitler and the Nazis on the eve of World War II and accusing Tehran of being bent on Israeli genocide.


AHMADINEJAD has made his intentions quite clear which could actually start WW 111 but Israel is the " agressor and the problem" ? lol Consider the source

Here we are getting the same old song and dance from Georgie Boy that we have seen him post so many times. Of course he believes that Winston Churchill was a liar when Churchill said the Arabs came in droves from their poverty-stricken countries because the Jews in Israel had jobs for them. It is the same phenomena we see today with Hispanics crossing our Southern borders for jobs in America and with the Muslims flooding into Europe from their poor countries. Evidently Georgie Boy has no problem with the Muslims coming into our country and Europe, and he certainly has no problem with the Muslims governing all the real estate in the Middle East except Israel, but resents the Jews governing one tiny piece of land. Today on AOL News they gave the best retirement places outside the U.S. Malaysia was #3, and since Georgie Boy hates this country, it might benefit him to convert to Islam and move there where he might be happier and more satisfied with his life.
 
Take you own advice by answering this question:

Which country has maimed, murdered, displaced, and incarcerated millions of innocent Muslims in the last twenty years?
Why, Gerorgie Boy, it is quite obvious that you have been blind all these years to what the Muslims have done and are still doing to others. Isn't it strange how Georgie Boy hates this country, and only today in his own major newspaper, there is a story of how pregnant Asian women are coming here to have their babies so that their children will be citizens of this country. Nobody is really stopping you from moving, Georgie, if you are that unhappy with this country. How far could it be for you to move down to someplace in Mexico, like Rosarita Beach or Ensenada? I hear that Social Security checks go real far down that way and you could be away from the country that you hate.

« Truman’s Speech & Noam Chomsky Commentary Magazine


Chomsky is simply a fraud, "Of course President Truman never spoke the words thus attributed to him, and reviewers quickly caught Dr. Chomsky out in his scholarly fakery. But this exposure has evidently not perturbed Dr. Chomsky in the slightest. He now concedes that he lifted his “quotations” from D. F. Fleming and J. P. Warburg; but he still insists that they are “accurate and perceptive” paraphrases of the Baylor speech, that they “convey the essence of Truman’s remarks.”

Beyond this Chomsky does not lend an air of resolution, but, one of derision.
 
There is a reason why Chomsky is a boorish ass; episodes of stupidity such as you posted.

What Chomsky conveniently chooses not to address is the dangerous mindset of the Iranian Mullocrats with regard to their the view of a cataclysmic Endtimes envisioned within the shia version of islam. The pre-fab “president” of Iran, Ahmadinijad, has a belief he is responsible for assisting shia islams mahdi in bringing forth those Endtmes.

History is replete with various Endtimers to include Jim Jones, Marshall Applewhite and others. Those religious fanatics had varying interpretations of the Endtimes. The damage to humanity that they could inflict was limited. It's a very different case with islamist ideologues who have a vision of the Endtimes which implementation can be assisted by nuclear weapons.

I have no desire to see a war started (by the Iranians), as fulfillment of some lurid religious fantasy regarding the return of a mythical figure.

Iran leader's U.N. finale reveals apocalyptic view

Ahmadinejad evokes return of messianic Islamic 'madhi'

I emphatically declare that today's world, more than ever before, longs for just and righteous people with love for all humanity; and above all longs for the perfect righteous human being and the real savior who has been promised to all peoples and who will establish justice, peace and brotherhood on the planet," Ahmadinejad said. "Oh, Almighty God, all men and women are your creatures and you have ordained their guidance and salvation. Bestow upon humanity that thirsts for justice, the perfect human being promised to all by you, and make us among his followers and among those who strive for his return and his cause.

With Iran on the verge of producing nuclear weapons and already in possession of medium-range missiles, mystical pre-occupation with the coming of a Shiite Islamic messiah is of particular concern because of Iran's potential for triggering the kind of global conflagration Ahmadinejad envisions will set the stage for the end of the world.

Ahmadinejad is on record as stating he believes he is to have a personal role in ushering in the age of the Mahdi. In a Nov. 16, 2005, speech in Tehran, he said he sees his main mission in life as to "pave the path for the glorious reappearance of Imam Mahdi, may Allah hasten his reappearance."

Please feel free to email your pal Chomsky and tell him I said he's an asshole.

Thanks.
Iran hasn't attacked another country in over 200 years.

Anyone who can't see this is the same bullshit rhetoric that was spewed leading up to the Iraq war 10 years ago, is one dumbass American.


You have got that completely wrong!

Under the mad Islamists, Iran is committed to the spreading of Islam and sharia law worldwide.

The other countries such as Israel are merely defending themselves when necessary.

Iran's proxies such as Hezbollah and Hamas have actively carried out, and still do carry out, aggressive military and terrorists strikes against Israel and other countries as far away as Argentina in South America.

To say that Iran is not a danger to the world is just ridiculous.

One can only wonder why Hossie brings Winnie the Racist and migrant Hispanics into a discussion about Chomsky's contention that Israel and the US pose bigger threats to peace in the Middle East than Iran?

PTSD, maybe?

General George Lee Butler would seem more likely to shed light on Iran and Israel in the 21st Century:

"As numerous polls have shown, although citizens of Arab countries generally dislike Iran, they do not regard it as a very serious threat. Rather, they perceive the threat to be Israel and the United States; and many, sometimes considerable majorities, regard Iranian nuclear weapons as a counter to these threats.

"In high places in the U.S., some concur with the Arab populations' perception, among them Gen. Lee Butler, former head of the Strategic Command. In 1998 he said, 'It is dangerous in the extreme that in the cauldron of animosities that we call the Middle East,' one nation, Israel, should have a powerful nuclear weapons arsenal, which 'inspires other nations to do so.'

"Still more dangerous is the nuclear-deterrent strategy of which Butler was a leading designer for many years.

"Such a strategy, he wrote in 2002, is 'a formula for unmitigated catastrophe,' and he called on the United States and other nuclear powers to accept their commitment under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) to make 'good faith' efforts to eliminate the plague of nuclear weapons."

Why is Hossie such a pussy when it comes to making "good faith" efforts at honest debate?

You don't know what you're talking about. Over 70% of Iran's population is under 30 and they are just waiting for those old mullahs to die off before installing a secular government that will allow them to wear Levi's in public.

Do you remember when you were under 30 and how you felt towards men of the cloth in their 60's?

The other countries such as Israel are merely defending themselves when necessary.
Israel started the last 6 wars its been in and is doing most of the sabre rattling in the ME. They're the big bully on the block.

Iran's proxies such as Hezbollah and Hamas have actively carried out, and still do carry out, aggressive military and terrorists strikes against Israel and other countries as far away as Argentina in South America.
Any government would respond militarily if Israel launched commando raids in their country. And Iran's trade agreements with Argentina are between them and Argentina.

To say that Iran is not a danger to the world is just ridiculous.
Oh stop it! I'm getting deja vu here. This is the same garbage that was being said back in 2003. Israel is the one making the threats and they need to shut their god-damn mouths!

Any attack on Iran will lead to the extinction of all life on planet earth. Are they worth that much?

You're not.

You're quite the apologist for those poor, oppressed arabs who had to endure "all them-there Jooooos" being imposed upon "moslem lands".

What you're not going to address, of course, was the interruption of the arab/moslem pogrom taking place that is ridding infidels from the islamist Middle East.

I always find claims such as yours to be hypocritical. On the issue of human rights, Israel has a far better record than any moslem Arab state. It's a simple matter to compare the realities of anti-Semitic and anti-Christian and anti-non-Muslim oppression within arab / moslem nations vs. Israel and Western nations simply because of the success of ethnic and minority religious cleansing within the moslem / Arab world. While Israeli Arabs have, per capita, one of the highest living standards among all moslems worldwide and their population in Israel is growing, the Jews (and Christians) of the moslem world are comparatively poor, marginalized, and will die out within the next half-century. The moslem majority nations will ultimately achieve what Hitler never did, their nations will be Judenrein (rid of Jews).
