Former weapons inspector decries U.S. tone against Iran: 'humiliating'

Tuesday, June 06, 2006

TORONTO - The contemptuous tone of United States admonishments to Iran over its nuclear ambitions is but one source of the humiliation, alienation and rage that propels disaffected Muslim youth to espouse fanaticism, Hans Blix said Monday.

''They seem to have come to enrich a milligram of uranium at four per cent,'' he said. ''It is absurd to talk about an acute threat.''

There is plenty of time, said Blix, to pursue negotiations with Iran that favour a carrot approach, much like those playing out now with North Korea.

He called the stick-wielding United States threat of military action to show how serious it is pointless when its troops are already camped out next door in Iraq.

''Personally, I think it's counterproductive,'' Blix said. ''This is not language that gives results in negotiations maybe votes in Wisconsin.''

having nuclear weapons.

That only leaves us with one reason for the agenda as it is unfolding - Iran is on the pipeline route, it is rich in oil in its southern part, and it its sea access is essential to the PNAC-baron plan to own the ME.

Just how does PNAC expect to take Iran?

Ludicrous . . . but, what isn't about this Bush regime?

the Iranians will dig in and wait for a moment to exact retribution. It is all about one's honor and ab-e-ruh (saving face).
