Don't Let Them Trick Us into Another War |

Mainstream media is helping sell another illegal war. The
way they do this is mainly by not reporting things or under-reporting
things. Before 1979, the U.S. strongly supported Iran's
nuclear energy programs.

"Introduction of nuclear power will both provide for the growing needs of Iran's economy and free remaining oil reserves for export or conversion to petrochemicals" - Henry Kissinger, Secretary of State for President Ford Yes, Iran does need fuel. Ford's team commended Iran's decision to build a massive nuclear energy industry, noting in a declassified 1975 strategy paper that Tehran needed to "prepare against the time -- about 15 years in the future -- when Iranian oil production is expected to decline sharply." Estimates of Iran's oil reserves were smaller then than
they are now, but energy experts and U.S. intelligence estimates
continue to project that Iran will need an alternative energy
source in the coming decades. Iran's population has more
than doubled since the 1970s, and its energy demands have
increased even more." Yet Cheney, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and outgoing Deputy Secretary Paul Wolfowitz held key national security posts when the Ford administration made the opposite argument 30 years ago." "A near-meltdown seems to be imminent over Iran and its nuclear programmes. Before 1979, when the Shah was in power, Washington strongly supported these programmes. Today the standard claim is that Iran has no need for nuclear power, and therefore must be pursuing a secret weapons programme. "For a major oil producer such as Iran, nuclear energy is a wasteful use of resources," Henry Kissinger wrote in the Washington Post last year. Thirty years ago, however, when Kissinger was secretary of state for President Gerald Ford, he held that "introduction of nuclear power will both provide for the growing needs of Iran's economy and free remaining oil reserves for export or conversion to petrochemicals". " -Noam Chomsky A negotiated solution to the Iranian nuclear crisis is within reach
President Ahmadinejad was NOT talking about attacking Israel, he is talking about the ending of the current Israel political regime which he has explained would be replaced by true democracy. See video: Iranian President Ahmadinejad DID NOT threaten to "wipe Israel off the map." | |||||
