Towards God?

The only threat to the world today are peons like the two demented dimwits who have put their comments below. This entire Iran crisis is a manufactured crisis, manufactured by the US elite, in an area in which they have a long tradition of not only supporting dictators, suppressing the people's voices and aspiration but also the barbarism of the kind we see in Iraq- using all lies in the book.

Now when the Mullahs in Iran have been used by the Americans, strengthened by the Americans both against the democratic government of Mossadeq, as well as against the Shah when he became more powerful and then to wholesale wipe out the left's leadership in Iran, what should we expect in this posturing now? That the US was helping the Shah's Iran develop just this kind of nuclear power so that it would free the domestic use of oil is a historical fact, that every country has the right not only to develop nuclear technology for its power use but given that a few belligerent, barbaric and historically unreliable and trigger happy states have nuclear weapons, Iran has every right to have one as well. That Iran was moving leftwards before the nuclear issue was given undue dominance by the US elite which halted this leftward move and drove power right back to the Mullahs is also a fact. That this drive towards the Mullahs has helped them and has helped the foreign policy agenda of the war mongers among the US elite is a fact as well. Ahmadenejad is merely leeching off the status that the power state has given him, that of a magnanimous (tantamount to Hitler according to the Fox News) bullwark against imperialism- something that he didn't earn nor deserve. Neither he nor Iran (post the hostage crisis) have done anything at all to deserve the hate of the US public or be shown in images of the kind that are depicted. It is all a media blitz to convert a quite normal human being into a boogeyman that needs to be stopped because he is on a mad rampage, for those who remember how the Saddam image was constructed by this very same corporate media, would say deja vu...In all this the voice and struggle of the people is coopted while the larger of the two Shaitans sets the agenda for the damn fools to posture (with their third rate missiles) and confuse the people regarding the real bread and butter issues facing the world....

There are so many demented heads of states in the world today with enough followers. - N.Korea, Mynmar, Iran etc. I am sure there will be more in the future too.

Some time where this God who is praised and worshipped as all powerful, kind, compassionate, all knowing etc. etc. Has he gone to sleep , I wonder!!! especially Allah who can not drive evenan iota of good sense into the head of loonies like Ahmednijad.

That illiterate monkey needs to be put behind the cage and put in the zoo. He is the most convoluted copy of a mullah in a suit. He is infact a puppet of the ayotollahs.

The best way out would be to let the mullahs kill the ayotollahs and vice versa.

The world would be safer then.
