- If America and Britain think they have fears of "terrorism"
now, all I can say is, " they ain't seen nothin' yet" if they
attack Iran.
-
- Cheney keeps up his rhetoric about attacking Iran with
tactical nuclear weapons and Sharon of Israel continues to say that Iran
is a threat-yet Iran has made no threats toward either the U.S. or Israel.
In fact, as of yesterday, Iran once again said they wanted to continue
talks with the EU about how to get more nuclear power without causing a
ruckus in the world. But none of these talks with the EU has satisfied,
nor will they satisfy Cheney or Sharon and their neo-con allies who thirst
for Ayatollah blood. The problem is that when they kill off many of the
Ayatollahs, whom they detest because they see their own reflections in
them, they will also have killed many thousands of innocent Iranians.
-
- This will only inflame the Iranians in the world, many
of whom are very wealthy, powerful and have connections where even Cheney
cannot find them and their ability to respond, but they will inflame an
evengreater threat of retaliation from the Shi'a of the world. The Shi'a
are not passive, nor are they afraid to die for a cause.
-
- Somehow, my articles and those of others, who are experts
on the Shi'a, haven't gotten across to the West that the Shi'a are not
the Saudis or Kuwaitis or some of the more ritualistic Sunni. The Shi'a
will react with true anger and action, as they've reacted for centuries
to the killing of Hussein, with the kind of anger they had about the assassination
of Caliph Ali-and America and England will pay a terrible price with many
innocents being killed in revenge for an attack on Iran.
-
- The attack and occupation of Iraq has been bad enough,
but this will militarize Muslims who have been angry but have not acted
out their anger. This may be why Tony Blair in England and Bush in America
are trying to get more illegal anti-civil rights laws passed-so that they
can carry on in their police states with more power to arrest those they
even "think" or "feel" might be a "threat".
-
- This, of course, would be most Muslims-in England, the
Pakistani and Indian Muslims first, because they are such a large part
of English society at this time, then the Iranians and Arabs, on down the
line. Bush has already started this policy in America-note the large number
of Muslims being held in American prisons without charges or legal representation
or rights, and the turning away of many Muslim scholars and religious dignitaries
from American ports-of-entry.
-
- But here and now, let me state, as a person who detests
the killing of innocent people anywhere in the world, of any faith or creed,
that I am against any attack on Iran for the sake of the people (yes, the
innocent people) of Iran and the innocent people of America and England,
both of whom are at the mercy of their leaders.
-
- It is time for other political leaders in America and
England to stop these madmen such as Bush, Cheney, Blair and Sharon; if
they don't, then they will be part of the problem and will share in the
guilt for any of these nefarious and immoral acts.
- Cindy Sheehan and others in America, others in England
and in Israel have spoken up, but now it is time for those with real power
to stop this insanity before it gets totally out of hand.
-
- As I said in the opening, if Cheney and Bush, or Sharon
pull of a tactical nuclear attack, or any major attack on Iran, I fear
you ain't seen nothin' yet.
