The Double Standard on Nuclear Weapons in the Middle East
Malcom Lagauche at uruknet.info reported in March 8, 2006 article on the U.S. and her allies ganging up on Iran over Iran's nuclear program: According to the latest news, the U.S. is increasing the pressure on Iran about the fictitious atomic bomb that it is building. This is the same bomb that Iraq was working on in 2003 prior to the U.S. invasion.
While the world turns its eyes again to the Middle East and watches a buildup to a war created by the U.S. over a mythical atomic bomb, there is one country in the neighborhood that actually has hundreds of atomic weapons; "poor beleaguered Israel," as many writers (conservative and liberal alike) refer to the only atomic power in the Middle East.Lagauche said, "Even mentioning Israel’s stock of weapons is a no-no in polite western societies. The U.S. has destroyed Iraq under the pretense of it attempting to make a nuclear weapon and it is on the verge of creating the same calamity in Iran," he added. "Ask a question about Israel’s nukes and the response is mute. In fact, most U.S. journalists won’t even entertain the thought of asking such a question."
