Iran, Iraq and the United States: Crimes



The Iraqis army used mustard gas, tabun, sarin and possibly other chemical agents against the Iranians during 1983 to 1988 invasion . Most notoriously, in 1988, Iraqi aircraft dropped sarin and mustard gas on Iraqi Kurdistan, killing up to 5,000 Iraqi Kurdish civilians. The war began when Iraq with full encouragement of the President Ronald Regan invaded Iran on September 22, 1980.

CIA special adviser Charles A. Duelfer in a detailed 350,000-word document (October 2004) reported "During the early years, Egyptian scientists provided consultation, technology and oversight allowing rapid advances and technological leaps in weaponization". The Egyptians supplied Iraq with 9-foot-long Grad rockets pre-equipped with plastic inserts in the warheads to hold the poisons. In 1983, the Egyptians modified the Iraqis' Grad 122mm multiple-launch rocket system to enable warheads to carry chemical agents. That powerful weapon system can launch 40 rockets with a range of 12 miles.

Iraqi government paid Egypt $12 million for the service. Baghdad used nerve agents to kill thousands of Iranian soldiers and Iranian and Iraqi civilians.

These findings are not surprising considering the integrated financial, technical, and armaments that were provided by many Arab countries to support Arabic Iraq against non-Arab Iranians and Kurds. This war resulted in a death of over 250,000 Iranians and permanent physical and mental injury of several million other Iranians and Kurds. The consequence of this war was devastation for both Iraqi and Iranian people.

At present, the neoconservatives and the Israeli Lobby are urging President George Bush to attack and destroy Iran and kill Iranian people. Please stop him!

Federal Highways and the Federal Employees: the Republican Solution

The federal gasoline tax is 18.4 cents per gallon for gas and 22.4 cents per gallon for diesel. This tax does not include the other taxes by the states and local communities. This federal tax is not generating the $260 billion GOP needs for a proposed highway construction and transit program! The cars are more efficient and people are not buying more gas. The GOP has a solution. They want to get the money from the federal employees. How? They suggest the federal employees should contribute 1.5 percent more of their monthly income for their retirement. At present the retirement benefit is calculated based on the average salary of the last five years of the service. The GOP has proposed to base the retirement benefit for the new employees based on the average salary of the last three years of the service. These changes would reduce the federal contribution to the retired employees’ benefit by about $4 billion a year. The GOP proposal would take money from the retired federal empl

Israel: The puppet Master and US Foreign Policy

Image
The statement that” Iran is a threat to US and an existential danger to Israel" is not logical. I don't believe a word of it! Iranians are anything but stupid to attack us or Israel. The story is just a fabrication to heat up the stuff before another war hits the fan. Israel will go to whatever length necessary to drag US into another war in the Middle East. Who would benefit from another war in the Middle East? Not Iran or USA. They both have a lot of internal problems, and neither one can afford another war. We need to stop the crazy people whose intentions are questionable. We have just started to make headway to economic recovery, if another war instigated by Israel would drag US into a new conflict, the war surely would derail our recovery for a longtime. In that case, let us say good bye to President Obama’s second chance for another term in the office. Do American workers and families have to sacrifice more to allow Israeli control of the region? Could President O

Nuclear Fuel Cycle, Nuclear Bomb, and Iran

Nuclear Fuel Cycle is the process of enriching uranium-235 (U-235) in a natural uranium ore from (0.72 % to less than 5%), fabrication of nuclear reactor fuel cells, and storage and disposal of the spent nuclear fuels as high level radioactive wastes. Iran is learning to enrich U-235 to levels less than 5%. The Iranian fuel development process is under supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Nuclear bomb would require an enrichment of uranium ore to 90% or more of U-235. Few nations at this time have capability to enrich uranium to this high level. Iran is not one of the countries with ability to produce high level enrichment. On September 7 , 2007 , ElBaradei argued against military action, saying: "We have not seen any weaponization of their program, nor have we received any information to that effect - no smoking gun or information from intelligence.
