Comments on: Why Are We Letting Iran Catch Up? http://blog.heritage.org/2009/09/28/why-are-we-letting-iran-catch-up/ Fri, 10 Feb 2012 22:29:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Ali, Tehran http://blog.heritage.org/2009/09/28/why-are-we-letting-iran-catch-up/#comment-59288 Ali, Tehran Mon, 05 Oct 2009 06:08:57 +0000 http://www.foundry.org/?p=15768#comment-59288 I write from Iran. I think that Mr. Carl Rove described the presidency of Mr. Obama very simple but meaningful;"He do everything in the wrong way". Unfortunately president Obama do his work in relation to the U.S. enemies as if that if he befriend to them then they will not the U.S. enemies any more. There is a simple fact that is that there are some individuals, groups, organizations and countries in the world that have dangerous ideas and thoughts and act in accordance to their ideas. One of them is the Iranian regime. You can't and must not be a friend to all. No wise man think that they have became the enemies of the U.S. just because of the Bush's administration as Mr. Obama may want to show that it is, they are enemies of the U.S. because of the principls of the United States of America, the very principles that Mr. Obama now have come to weaken them. I, as an Iranian, wish for the military attack of the U.S. against the Iranian regime in the presidency of my beloved president, George W. Bush, but I was left hopeless like many other Iranians. Now I am very concerned about the wrong decisions that Mr. Obama would make in relation to Iranian regime. I think that president Obama will weaken the United States of America more and more in his term in the future, and this is my current nightmare in Iran. I write from Iran.

Mr. Obama has no idea of what to say to the general. He is clueless. Our commanding general in Afghanistan has been saying for months that the U.S. needs to send another 40,000 troops into this country, or all will be lost. Of course Mr. Obama can always say that his "chain of command" didn't inform him sufficiently of the need for more troops. Now, since the American people have been made aware that Mr. Obama hasn't spoken directly to his generalin months, you can be sure that a meeting between the two will be held with much fanfare. Of course this decision will have to take second or third priority behind getting the Olympics to come to Chicago and getting his national health Care plan passed, against the opposition of the majority of Americans.

If those that pushed for war truly believed a collection of rag-tag terrorists capable of detonating a nuke in one of our cities, killing millions of our people, they would have inflicted a Carthaginian razing furor upon our alleged enemies the likes of which has not been seen on this earth since the Germany was burned to ashes, and the German people - some ten million of whom died post-war in what can only be viewed as an intention act of genocide committed by the Allies - and not this laughably half-hearted effort at "democratization" and "nation building". The paper which fomented it all known as "A Clean Break" is very clear that whether or not democracy took hold in Iraq it was a win for Israel. But was it a win for the European-American men who gave everything of themselves that Israel might live only to see their own people left the wither on the vine as those that pushed for war push for cosmopolitanization and "comprehensive immigration reform" domestically?

Adli of NV, I suppose you are going to vote for Harry Reid next year? You must be out of your mind. First of all, those "other" countries in the Middle East ought to be scared to death to see those fundamentalist nutcases with any military capabilities. They obviously did not learn when another Tyrant, Saddam, was in power and they would have got their butts kicked without the U.S. Secondly, what is with the blessings from those countries? They are still upset because the Ottoman Empire sided with the Germans in WWI and they lost. They are upset because Jews through the UN reclaimed their ancestral homeland and had the audacity to not be wiped out - again, after the holocaust. Meanwhile the Arab countries let the Palestinians sit in camps for political purposes. The Palestinian Arabs could of had a country (most of modern day Israel) but they refused the UN two-state solution in 1947. Instead they wanted to annihilate Israel. Ever since, the Arabs have been stirring up the pot with their people by using the Jews as a political tool in order to stay in power. With the demonic Iranian leadership, who murder their own people, you are worried about Israel nukes? Dear C. Adli of NV,

They obviously did not learn when another Tyrant, Saddam, was in power and they would have got their butts kicked without the U.S.

For if a people has not that interest, then they effectively are not a people. And what is a people? A shared religion, culture? No doubt these are important markers of distinctiveness and group cohesion, but are Mexicans and the English a people though they might both many of them be Catholic? Of course not, that is absurd. So what then constitutes a people? Kinship, shared blood. And, if the Jewish people have ethnic interests, that is, put bluntly, the propagation of their unique gene line into the morrow, then so do other peoples as well. In the excerpt I posted above respected Israeli policy advisers talked with utter candor about, if it be necessary at the last, that they will remove the Arabs from their midst - and to hell with all that might gainsay that. 'Three thousand years of struggle for life will not end here, damn it!", was in effect the message conveyed. Now, I as an European ethno-nationalist who loves my people no less, look on with interest to see whether this most of extreme of solutions will be carried forth, and wonder if it will establish a precedent. Again I'll be blunt, for European Man to live the interlopers that have come among us in the past decades must be repatriated. We must also do what me must do remain forever ourselves, and the devil take the hindmost.
