IRAN CRISIS "We are capable, if necessary, of continuing to pursue our aims militarily in Iraq and Afghanistan and elsewhere and, if necessary, conduct a military attack on Iran." - Senator Joseph Lieberman, 22 Jan MER - MiddleEast.Org - Washington - 25 January: This day was destined to come sooner or later. With the Israelis having a considerable arsenal of nuclear weapons and the ability to delivery them tactically to the battlefield as well as strategically by submarine and airplane a gross imbalance has been there in the region for some time already. Furthermore there should be no doubt that Israel's apartheid and bloodletting policies toward the Palestinians have been a major force enflaming Arab and Muslim sentiments throughout the region; while militant neo-imperialist U.S. policies on top of the American-Israeli alliance and the rise of Christian Fundamentalism have fueled the raging passions and led to today's imbroglio. The real meaning of the Iran Crisis however goes to a more basic historical reality -- that we are coming to an end of what has been for some time a near total Pax America. What the Russians and the Chinese do at this point at the United Nations to prevent major sanctions against Iran will just be the public face of what they much more importantly are doing geostrategically to redress and re-balance the sole superpower status of the U.S. By committing so many grievances, by squandering so much prestige and credibility, by draining so much if its finances and resources, the American Empire has hastenened this time of realignment as well as this particular Iran Crisis. As for the Israelis, they have known for some time that they are in geostrategic trouble...not at the moment but in the future. If the Israelis do not now seriously reverse course (and it may well already be too late) and allow a real -- rather than a rump, stillborn, and totally controlled -- Palestinian State they will be unable to deescalate their isolation and they will escalate their target status as forces in the Arab and Muslim worlds grow in power and assertiveness. That too is what the Iran Crisis of today, and where it could be leading tomorrow, is really all about.
