The hydra
19-Oct-2007
False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil.
-- Plato
Legend has it that the Hydra with the body of a serpent and numerous
heads, could never be harmed by any weapon, and if any of the other
heads were severed another would grow in its place. Attacking cattle
and local villagers, it devoured them with its numerous heads, totally
terrorizing the vicinity for many years. According to legend, Heracles
defeated the Hydra.
The reality we live in is that a far worse creature than the legendry
hydra is terrorizing the global village. As one head is
de-commissioned, another replaces it; Rumsfeld with Gates, Casey with
Petraeus, and so on. Its contemptuous greed unfulfilled, the Iraqi
devastation only vetted the appetite of the ungodly creature; and so
venomous lies spew out in preparation for an attack on the next country
– Iran, with 72 innocent lives waiting to be annihilated.
Failing to prove Iran’s nuclear program as a threat to world security
as the IAEA would not be party to another mass murder and lie to
further the ambitions of the White House, Mr. Bush is now commanding
his generals to inform the American public that Iran is responsible for
arming Iraqis that are killing Americans. Randomly, he takes pleasure
in having Iranian diplomats arrested by his thugs in Iraq, the same
people who murder Iraqi civilians, women and children.
Having buried himself in the darkness of deception, the White House
occupant forgets that the truth occasionally leaks out and he ‘can’t
fool all the people all the time’. Indeed, in the “Teicher Affidavit:
Iraq-Gate” of 1/31/95, it was revealed by former NSC official Howard
Teicher that during the Iran-Iraq war of 1980-88, the U.S. provided
Saddam Hossein with weaponry including anti-armor penetrators – one of
the weaponry Iran is accused of providing to the Iraqis.
During the 8-year war, much of the weapons supplied to Iraq by the
United States and its CIA department, was through a cleverly devised
program called “Bear Spares”. The program made sure that spare parts
and ammunition for Soviet or Soviet-style weaponry was made available
to countries which sought to reduce their dependence on the Soviets for
defense needs. If the "Bear Spares" were manufactured outside the
United States, then the United States could arrange for the provision
of these weapons to a third country without direct involvement.
Due to its various wars, Israel has a large stockpile of captured
Soviet weaponry and ammunition. At the suggestion of the United
States, the Israelis would transfer the spare parts and weapons to
third countries or insurgent movements. Egypt manufactured weapons and
spare parts from Soviet designs and provided these weapons and
ammunition to the Iraqis and other countries. Egypt also served as a
supplier for the Bear Spares program. The United States approved,
assisted and encouraged Egypt's sale of weaponry, munitions and
vehicles to Iraq.
Mr. Bush’s generals have been told to play politics instead of
soldiers. Neglecting their duty to protect their country, they are
obeying a man who is jeopardizing peace in violation of Chapter VII of
the United Nations Security Council . These generals, more versed in
lying than in protecting the Americans, as with their
commander-in-chief, would have the nation believe that weapons killing
Americans are coming from Iran.
America and the CIA, masters
of deception, eager to start another war at any cost, even at the cost
of American patriots who are dying in Iraq, are hard at work convincing
the nation that Iran is arming Iraqis, attempting to make us forget the
190,000 assault rifles and pistols that the Pentagon ‘lost’ (while
under the watchful eye of KBR, Mr. Cheney’s old company). One must
wonder what else may be ‘lost’ or otherwise, and blamed on Iran?
In the reality we live in, this Hydra too, has its weakness and its
strength. What empowers and feeds it is apathy. Its weakness is the
collective will of a well-informed nation. The arrow that will rid
that nation of its destructive ways, is the Constitution of the United
States. Failure to do this, will be the destruction of the U.S. as we
know it.

Malicious monster is unleashed
by Iran_Novin (not verified) on Sat Oct 20, 2007 11:12 AM PDTThis religion debacle in the region stinks and it is sad. The future looks more gloomy there than rosy. And, west is risking very high since own created malicious monster is unleashed. The only constructive solution is to empower Iran in becoming foundation for a secular progressive society in that region.
The best solution for Iran is to surprise the entire region and world. The best surprise is to announce internationally of peacefully becoming a modern secular federal republic in six months and have United Nations to oversight its transition and helping Iranian military in preserving the integrity of country.
Its domino effect in the region will keep Iran safe, secure, and prosper internally and internationally for a long time.

a small addition
by someone (not verified) on Sat Oct 20, 2007 08:25 AM PDTAlso as explicitly stated in one of US PBS Frontline programs, during the Iran/Iraq war US went as far as providing the position of Iranian forces to the Iraqis (AVAX).
Wonderful: You did it again Soraya

Brilliant article!!
by Leila (not verified) on Sat Oct 20, 2007 06:58 AM PDTDear Soraya:
Thank you for yet another excellent article. It is obvious to any intellectual who takes time to get themselves educated that you know what you are writing is 100% accurate. We are witnessing once again in front of our very own eyes a repeat of the false lies, forged documents, and pretext of "WMDs" which steered this nation towards a war with Iraq. A catastrophic war which to this date has caused the deaths of over 4000 U.S. soldiers, one million Iraqis and another two million Iraqis displaced.
Now the drumbeats to war are beating once again this time against Iran with all sorts of lies, disinformation, and propaganda coming from the neocons, and the Zionists. The first attempt was to convince the American and world public opinion that Iran was developing nuclear weapons. Unfortunately, for President Bush,VP Cheney, the neocons and the Zionists, the IAEA came out and said there is absolutely no evidence of a nuclear weapons program in Iran. This delayed the ability of the P5+1 to impose further sanctions on Iran. So of course the U.S. as usual has to come up with another set of lies and once again with absolutely no proof and no evidence, they are claiming that it is Iranian made weapons coming from Iran that are killing U.S. soldiers. How hypocritical is this!!
The U.S. has over 180,000 mercenaries in Iraq who are accountable to no one. They can't account for 190,000 of lost weapons; we have the terrorist organization the MEK which is being supported, and funded by the U.S. (another hypocrisy by the U.S.) creating havoc both in Iraq and in Iran; we have the Israeli Mossad agents swarming in Iraq supplanting false evidence against Iran and supporting separatist ethnic groups both in Iraq, and in Iran; we have the influx of insurgency and weapons coming from the friendly "moderate" Arab puppets, the Saudis, Jordanians etc. and yet with absolutely not one proof of any kind Iran is to blame for everything. We know the reason why; U.S. desire for hegemony and domination of the oil rich region of the Middle East and the eradication of any regime which does not kow tow to U.S. demands.
It doesn't matter how many innocent American lives and Iranians have to perish to satisfy the greed and lust for power and oil of the U.S., The U.K. and now this time France (much to our chagrin the Zionist Sarkozy is in power).
This time if the American public does not wake up and take action against this shameless warmongering Administration they can blame no one but themselves and an inept and spineless Congress.
By the way be ready for the massive amounts of hateful and vulgar comments that you are going to receive from the traitor Iranians and others acting on behalf of AIPAC,other Zionists and the neocons that will do everything in their power to shut you up. But fortunately, as I have witnessed you can withstand the abuse. True nationalists never give up! Remember Dr. Mossadeq!!
regurgitateing half truths
by Fred (not verified) on Sat Oct 20, 2007 04:50 AM PDTIslamist lobbyists regurgitate half truths to bypass the awful truth of their beloved Islamist Republic. US is not the problem for Iranians, it is the Islamist Republic that has got to go.
