By now, it has become crystal clear that this bargain has not been – and will not be – kept. The New Agenda Coalition criticized the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) for spending all its time and energy monitoring and enforcing compliance by non-nuclear-weapon countries suspected of wanting to develop such weapons, while overlooking the obvious – that the nuclear powers have not implemented the commitments they made at the NPT review conferences of 1995 and 2000 .

For instance, in 2000 the U.S. government pledged to ratify the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty but has not done so yet and shows no signs that it will. It also promised to sign a verifiable accord to end the production of new fissile material for nuclear weapons but has failed to do so. To make matters worse, the Bush administration has been trying for two years to get Congressional authorization to fund research on a new generation of nuclear weapons including small yield mini-nukes and nuclear bunker busters. It has also mandated nuclear labs in the U.S. to come up with ways of upgrading the present nuclear arsenal by making it more robust and longer lasting.>

The real target is two fold, destroy the Iranian nuclear industry which offers energy redundance and surplus capital accumulation, the end result of which will be increased Iranian stability, power, and influence. Second, to destabilize the regime and obtain control of its petroleum reserves. Any reading of the American energy industry literature on the development and "productivity" of Iranian oil fields reveals a thinly disguised desire to recapture the nationalized fields and put them to the efficient use of their former Anglo-American owners. Nuclear power equals increased economic power, namely that to withold petroleum reserves from the world market and obtain top dollar for what is sold. Those top dollars will result in Iranian power on the second tier scale of nations such as France, England and Germany. This is something that the neo-cons can't stomach. An Islamic nation with power projection capability and consequently a world leadership role.

In fact, the posted links about the "Iranian nuclear crisis" reveals that Iran's emerging power and that of the "third world" nations following its lead on the NPT controversy, are in fact the beginning of a "new world order" in which the oil companies, the neo-cons, and their Israeli proxies, lose in the shake out.
