PRESIDENT OBAMA
With all the shamelessness of a neocon, Obama got up on his diplomatic high horse this week and scolded Iran for activities that are both and legal and unlike the intentions of the US and Israel, non-lethal. It sounded chillingly like W's prelude to the his illegal invasion of Iraq.
PRESIDENT OBAMA,
Spare us the outrage regarding Iran's "secret nuclear facility". Unlike Israel, they are signatories to the Non-Proliferation Treaty and are entitled to develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. This is not a new discovery. The US has known about it for some time. Spare us the lies.
Conflating the development of nuclear energy with a weapons program, for which there is no evidence damages your credibilty.
While Iran's neighbor to the South, Israel, whose interests you appear to representing, are NOT signitories to the NNP treaty, have a huge nuclear arsenal and are constantly attacking their neighbors. Why aren't you telling Israel that there are rules all nations must follow? Iran has not attacked anyone for 250 years.
Before you wag your finger at Iran, you should put your own house in order. The US is out of compliance with it's treaty obligations to disarm its nuclear arsenal and the recent sale to India is a violation of the word and spirit of this treaty. .
In almost every other category the US is NOT "obeying the rules all nation's must follow".
Extra-ordinary rendition, secret prisons, wars of aggression, military occupations, stealing the resources of occupied countries, extra-legal assassinations. Our international economic policies are nothing short of criminal.
Under your leadership, war criminals prosper instead of going to prison, massive corporate fraud goes unpunished, the Bill of Rights and Constitution are ignored.
Given the record of this nation during the last decade and your own failures as a leader, you have no right to tell other nations how to behave.
