Iran, Israel and the United States: Middle East and the Balance of Power

The statement: "While Tehran says its atomic work is purely peaceful, Israel and Western nations believe it is moving towards a nuclear bomb that could change the regional balance of power" is often heard or read in the media. This statement should be examined for accuracy. The statement has been forwarded as a justification for placing economic and political pressure on the Iranian society and if we could change the Iranian government.

1. Western nations believe it is moving towards a nuclear bomb that could change the regional balance of power” How could this be? Iran does not have any nuclear bomb, but Israel does. There is no parity in this case.
2. Iran has some very old and new domestically produced defense system; these systems are not at parity with those we have supplied to Israel, Saudi Arabia and the other Persian Gulf States.
3. "Western nations believe" that Iran is moving towards a nuclear bomb. But our national security agencies in the US have indicated that Iranians have not been developing nuclear bombs.

But the principle USA problem with Iran is that the Middle Eastern region is our area of interest. Iranians have been a pain in our backs and often in our back pockets since 1979; they forget that we are the only superpower. We liked Shah’s regime; he did what we asked him to do.

The issue of Iranian Nuclear Fuel Cycle is just a cover for us to bring them back under our control and if we could repeat the 1953 regime change.

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

Do you hate all Iranians?

October 1, 2007 At a recent meeting between high ranking Defense Department officials and British Parliamentarians at the Pentagon, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Coalition Affairs Debra Cagan remarked, "In any case, I hate all Iranians." The incident was confirmed by three of the visiting MPs present at the meeting. Should the President of the United States allow this person to be a member of our United States government? The inaction of German citizens to stop genocide during the World War II contributed to the brutal death of millions of people. Do something about promoter of hate in the United States! We can't let this happen once more!

Saint Michael Traveler: My Perspectives Are We Expanding the Syrian Sectarian War into Proxy War with Russia? February 29, 2016 The Iran–Iraq War was an armed conflict between the Persians and many of the Sunni Arabs Nations. The war was assisted directly by the United States and some of the European countries, lasting from September 1980 to August 1988. It was the 20th century’s longest conventional war. The conflict resulted in death of over 500,000 Iranians and injuring millions. Why are we supporting the same countries that attacked Iran during 1980?  During the conflict, Syria steadfastly stood by Iranians during the conflict. Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf Kingdoms have not forgotten the intransigence of Syria government supporting the Iranian government.  Are we once more siding with the Sunni Arabs against Iranians? The New York Times, Anne Barnard and Karam Shoumalioct, 12, 2015, reported:  U.S. Weaponry Is Turning Syria into Proxy War with Russia? The A
