Zo gaat het in de wereld: het tuig met de meeste wapens bedreigt, chanteert en vermoordt zodra het opportuun lijkt. En de doorsnee mens voert de bevelen uit in opdracht van de boven hen aangestelden. En alles onder het mom van beschaving, democratie en mensenrechten. 'Report: Pentagon official says Israel has 'amber light' for Iran strike

U.S. President George W. Bush has given Israel an "amber light" to begin preparations for a military attack on Iran, a Pentagon official told The Sunday Times this week. "Amber means get on with your preparations, stand by for immediate attack and tell us when you're ready," the official said.
The official told the Times that Bush informed the Israeli government he would back an Israeli plan to strike Iran's main nuclear sites with long-range aerial weapons if diplomatic talks over Tehran's contentious atomic program broke down. Bush's voice of support comes despite U.S. military officials' opposition to the risks of an aerial strike on Iran, the official told The Times. However, the U.S. would not deploy American forces for such a strike nor would Israel be able to depend on U.S. military bases in Iraq for logistical support, the official said. The U.S. would not necessarily give the "green" light for an attack without unquestionable proof that Iran is involved in military preparations of its own, the official told The Times. Iran last week test launched a series of medium-range ballistic missiles it claimed were capable of striking Israel. The tests were seen as provocative and prompted Israel to showcase its Eitam plane, released last year, which it said is capable of spying on Iran. An image surfaced in all the major media outlets on the day Iran announced its first round of test launches, depicting four missiles being fired simultaneously. However, the AFP and the Associated Press subsequently retracted the photo and replaced it with an image containing only three missiles. After being shown the photograph by AFP, Mark Fitzpatrick of the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies said "it very much does appear that Iran doctored the photo to cover up what apparently was a misfiring of one of the missiles." Ahmadinejad: Iran will 'cut hands' off anyone who tries to attack.;

'De Mediterrane Unie': de aap uit uit de mouw en bij deze nu al ongeloofwaardig. Trouw bericht:
In de slotverklaring van de top voor de totstandkoming van de Mediterrane Unie in Parijs, zeggen in totaal 43 landen uit Europa, het Midden-Oosten en Afrika, te streven naar een Midden-Oosten zonder massavernietigingswapens.
De verklaring legt uit dat daarmee alle nucleaire, chemische en biologische wapens bedoeld worden, inclusief de systemen om deze wapens bij een doelwit aan te laten komen. Ook de Israëlische premier Ehud Olmert heeft het document ondertekend. Van Israël bestaat al lang het vermoeden dat het beschikt over een arsenaal kernwapens, maar officieel wil het land dat noch ontkennen, noch bevestigen.
Het onderwerp massavernietigingswapens is in de regio in het bijzonder actueel vanwege de ophef rond het Iraanse atoomprogramma. Iran weigert gehoor te geven aan internationale oproepen zijn uraniumverrijking te staken en Israël en de Verenigde Staten zeggen dat Iran in het geheim een kernbom ontwikkelt.
Quod licet Iovi, non licet bovi, zeggen ze dan. :P
Het is gewoon de hypocrisie ten top. Je zou op de maan willen gaan wonen.
