An insider's viewpoint: Iran and the World Print E-mail
Saturday, 15 April 2006
Why is Iran perceived differently to Pakistan, another Muslim country with nuclear capability? Especially since the former is a democracy and the latter a dictatorhsip? How can the heated exchange between Iran and the international (predominantly Western) community be settled once and for all?

In this insightful and informative interview of a prominent Iranian academic, Mahmood Sariolghalam, we hear from one corner not often heard since the start of the current troubles between Iran and the rest of the world: an highly educated Iranian citizen with no allegiance to the present government. What emerges is a sincere and reflective look at the current problem and a proposed solution for Iran.

What it boils down to is that the revolution is evolving – soon the 2nd generation will be in charge, nationalism is emerging, and in general everything in Iran is changing. The foreign policy is currently rhetorical and revolutionary – but the economic policy, which is free of the influence of the revolutionary leaders, continues to be progressive and open to international participation. Once the Foreign Policy and the Economic Policy are in line, things will be much more stable and it will be a lot easier to deal with these issues.

For now, though, the relationship between Iran and the US is dictated by, essentially, a lack of relationship – they have no diplomatic channels open, and their every interaction is characterized by distrust and rhetoric. Iran has called the US the “Great Satan,” and the US has labeled Iran as a member of the “Axis of Evil.” Obviously, none of this helps.

Iran is being attacked FIRST, because the good fiends working at Strategic Communications Laboratories (google them), know full well, that if you wish to `legitimise' the use of nuclear weapons, you must first present them as `saving lives' by attacking hardened bunkers etc. Then, when you have the WHOLE world in your geo psycho political deathgrip, vis USA nuclear fascist expansionism, you can dictate terms. You can throw in a couple of Hiroshimas (the Iranians would be advised to torch every single oil facility in the entire region to yield them NOTHING & hasten the downfall of the USA nuke fascist regime), if the natives continue being restless; BEFORE moving onto bigger targets like Pakistan, China etc.
As noted Before, the only total solution is to dump the $ & Go 4 Gold, to hasten the collapse of the USA petrodollar (credit expansionary) regime at every level.
Iranian determination to torch ALL mideast oil facilities will also help the rest of the eastern world see reason, by dumping the dollar, to end the agony quicker rather than later.

Iran is being attacked because it aims to be independent economically and politically of any US influence. In that sense, for the US, Iran is very dangerous because it provides a role model for others in the region. As long as Iran continues to undermine the dollar economically (by replacing it in it's basket of oil selling currencies) then it remains a threat to the US. Therefore this issue only concerns nuclear energy insofar as it allows Iran to sell it's oil in any currency apart from the dollar.

Only America & America's view must prevail. Why? Because America is the only Superpower in the world. If you don't agree superpowers wrath will fall on you. If you agree with USA, you are democrat, you are good, if not; you are dictator, you are evil- simple formula.

While it is absolutely neccessary to resist deathgrip of USA nuclear fascist geo psychology- eg by targeting/ cutting off oil, to get Eastern finance to end the agony by dumping the $ & going 4 gold... This is only the beginning. For as well as establishing a new energy based (as opposed to gold, inherently deflationary - or fiat, inherently hyperinflationary) global currency (establishing a global reserve bank of Jerusalem), which entails keeping the oil/gas turned on long enough to enable (with a WARTIME will) global switch to solar powered microgeneration (the price being USA/ Euro acceptance of a common global security/ constitutional architecture)... THIS neccessitates (as Muslims admin the Christian sepulchre, preventing general war among Christian factions) Jewish admin of Mecca, to stabilise the globally pivotal Medina (oil) superstate (prevent Sunni/Shia razing Mecca/ mideast again)...
& THIS apparent impossibility made possible, by a combo of ALL the world's conventional religious & state structures having burnt their legitimacy & the self evident neccessity of establishing a STRICT division between WRITTEN SECULAR constitution & the UNWRITTEN COSMOLOGICAL constitution (of creation) - which the former is designed to give humanity power to comprehend; eg by giving global civil society STRATEGIC POWER IN DEPTH eg control of own energy & with it the power of info dissemination - enabling humanity to POOL its substantive sovereignty to control state & economy; to enable it to prioritise humanity's control of its OWN TIME to THINK, gain mastery of Gods time, the UNWRITTEN constitution (of creation) become our cosmic parents & visit the same torment on the next cosmic generation... Eg time/ consciousness & free will being one & the same from standpoint of BOTH creator & created... - Intelligent life having emerged from dust as an INDEPENDENT entity, STILL needing to draw courage from the SUPRA reserve of courage to gain mastery over (cease being the slave of) its OWN creation (on pain of apocalyptic extinction) - ONLY such an over-arching common culture can gyrostabilise global political economic priorities/ order itself, on the basis of the wild horses of the human imagination... To those asking, `where did the FIRST creator come from?' I surmise we will only have the conclusive answer to this Q when we cannot progress without it (eg there is a principle that humanity CANNOT develop any technology without at least begining to appreciate the problems inherent in such- or else stone age man would continuously have incinerated itself with the nukes) - though again, the pursuit of such is neccessary to gyrostabilise order, through the electrified imagination...

By your comments its good to see your readers have the best interests of the United Kingdom ( disunited , since you`ve had your say )at heart .What sane nonreligious person would allow the religously fanatical Islamic Ayottollas in Iran ,to have their finger on the trigger of a nuke , the most devastating weapon the world has ever produced , so they can do their gods work ?? What i fail to understand is where the Islamic god stands on lieing through your back teeth ? No we don`t want a bomb , oops we got one by accident , must have been allah`s will . How is it in the interests of this country and it`s citizens to `Allow` these religous zealots , who hate our Western way of life , to produce such a weapon . To late , To late , will be the cry When their bomb comes floating BYE

When gold meyer threatened the West with nuclear annihilation in 1973!! israel still does every day, this explains where the “45 min” lie came from. The UK zog came running to fight for its master, remember the israelis defile Jewish law by using their “god” to rape, pillage & murder every day.
These fundamentalists like the john paul gadd (“he was only teaching the children”) or maxwell (pensions are in the news again)..
israelis say “god gave them this land” (no evidence of ANYTHING but Arabic archaeology in Palestine) & then claim the whole world is israel!!
These fanatics want to exterminate all life worldwide, these examples & there many to point out are the real destroyer of Western & civilisation.

Al is so right; it does not take a genius to see through you as you have no conscience. You bomb from the air on unarmed civilians, "shouting "for the god israel" (the devil), put chalk messages on bombs that say "for your children", actively target & murder them every day as part & parcel of your religion. Nobody with any form of the ability to think for them believes the so called attacks on you were as such, more like a false flag operation. Get over it & accept the world will do what you have done to them on you.

Hey Karen What irony your comments have , Israelis sending bombs to kill Palestinian children while Palestinians use their own children as bombs to kill Israelis . What are the best calibre human missile ? A 12 , 13 or 14 year old ? So it seems that not only are the Isrealis killing your children but so are the Palestinians killing their own children . I point this out in the forelorn hope , even with your Twisted , indoctrinated , lemming like hatreds , that if you care so little for your own , then why should anyone else ?

So typical for BS, I have been reading the replies since I found it a few weeks ago, when is the israeli fundamentalist going to stop typing the same old Anti Semitic rubbish?
Your “children” are the future murderers; you’re insane, hate filled diatribe is repeated with the regularity of verbal dysentery. Your lack of education shows this. So what if the Palestinians (Jesus’ REAL people) clean some mass murdering settler. Palestinians do not kill their own, you do & it works both ways. Your command of the English language is utterly limited as is your ability to think, so the Semitic children have no worth.. so do yours as it are a detriment to civilised societies. So what do you expect from a 5th columnist.
