I enjoy hearing Peter King’s unvarnished comments about
things he does not agree. With that in mind, his New York demeanor was on full
display this morning on Morning Joe (MSNBC) as he verbally attacked Obama’s
proposed agreement with Iran” without attacking Obama.
He missed several important things about that proposal,
especially as it relates to the background. Among the things missed is the fact
that there are three countries involved, but there are six sides to the debate,
the well-defined right-wings versus the left-wing's in the United States,
Israel, and Iran. It is true that my definition of right and left-wing relates
to their support for armed conflict versus peace. In the U.S. and Israel, we
have clearly defined political parties and leaders variously identified as
“hard-liners” versus their “opposition”. Some prefer to use the more familiar
labels, ‘conservative’ versus ‘liberals’ or Republican versus Democrat. In Iran, it is President Hassan Rouhani, who
is the liberal calling in a well-publicized speech, called for compromise with
hard-liners or conservatives in his country.
We have 47 United States Senators signing a hate letter for Obama, can
you imagine what Rouhani had to face.
Rouhani calls for compromise, which in the eyes of the
Iranian people is much bolder than anything Obama is asking. The Iranian
democracy, perhaps the first Arab Spring, in 1951 elected a leader, elected
Prime Minister of Iran Mohammad Mosaddegh. In August 1953, coup d'état,
masterminded by the Untied States and supported by the United Kingdom, known in
Iran as the 28 Mordad coup destroy democracy in that country. As with all such
nefarious efforts, we disguised this assault under a code name and patriotic
title, in this case, it was the TPAJAX Project under the name 'Operation Boot'
carried out by the newly elected President Eisenhower. The fact was that
Anglo-Iranian Oil Company; a British corporation (now BP) wanted control over
Iranian petroleum reserves. The Iranian People know these infamous events as we
know our Fourth of July, although, in the U.S., we seem oblivious—it was
business as usual.
Do you suppose Iranians are upset when President Obama’s
ex-Chief of Staff, now mayor of Chicago, Rahm Emanuel is an Israeli Citizen and
Lieutenant in the Israeli Defense Force? Just as with the coup d'état in Iran
it makes no difference to Americans but it makes a big difference to the
Iranian people.
Radical Netanyahu fails to mention why Iran calls for “Death
to America” and “Yankee go home”, just as he fails to mention what Israel is
doing to the Palestinian People. He is not man enough to face the truth about
his right-wing hate for Iran; since the Iranian people elected President Hassan
Rouhani, it is Netanyahu’s one-way hate. He is using hate to justify to the
world his right-wing Likud Party’s malfeasance in the Middle East.
In summary, we have three countries, each with both a
liberal and a radical party. Do the mathematical matrix entering all six
factors. Also, consider that because Republicans by nature will not compromise
(or even negotiate) until they know they can win; this changes the lineup.
United States Republicans must join Netanyahu against Iran before he will
attack Iran. If the United States is not part of it, it is just more Israeli
malfeasance as is their maltreatment of Palestine.
The tragedy is that, as happened in 1953 with Eisenhower, if
we do not consider what Iranian people want, we will be fighting Iran just
because they have oil—again. If the Iranian hardliners take over that is
complicating matter. The way I see the line up now is Radical Netanyahu trying
to corrupt the radical element and tie it to the greedy element in the United
States Republican Party, to beat up Iranian for glory and our true and only
God. What you dare not mention is American greed for oil or Jeb Bush and his
neo-cons.
