Iran's Nukes Unite Castro, Ahmadinejad by Jim Burns Posted Feb 09, 2006 Cuba's official Communist Party newspaper Granma reported this week that Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has accepted an invitation from Cuban Dictator Fidel Castro to visit the communist nation later this year. Granma said Ahmadinejad will visit the communist nation during the Non-Aligned Nations summit meeting that is set to take place in Havana from September 11-16. He is accepting the invitation, according to Granma in "gratitude" for Cuba's support of Iran's nuclear program. Ahmadinejad accepted the invitation in Tehran from Cuban Ambassador Felipe Perez Roque. On Saturday in Vienna, Cuba, Venezuela and Syria voted against a resolution of the International Atomic Energy Agency to refer Iran to the UN Security Council over a nuclear program the West suspects is weapons-oriented. The Iranian president recently publicly thanked Cuba for its "dignified and principled" position during the IAEA's special meeting, which ended in a 27-3 vote in favor of reporting Iran to the UN council. Separately, Granma announced that Iranian Parliament President Ghulam Ali Haddad Adel has accepted an invitation to visit Cuba from Cuba's National Assembly. During a recent broadcast, Radio Havana reported that Ahmadinejad thanked Cuban dictator Fidel Castro for backing Iran in what he called Iran's "right to use nuclear energy for peaceful goals." The report said both dictators rejected the "proliferation of nuclear weapons," however. In a telephone conversation, Ahmadinejad thanked Castro for "Havana's positive stance over the Iranian nuclear energy program." Ahmadinejad also highlighted, according to Radio Havana, Castro's "stamina in facing arrogant powers, clearly alluding to the United States," because of the American economic embargo against Cuba for over 45 years. Ahmadinejad commended Cuba for hosting a "Non-aligned Movement Meeting" set for later this year and offered his country's assistance in help to host the event. He also referred positively to the friendly bilateral relations existing between the two countries. Radio Havana said Castro told Ahmadinejad that positive relations between Cuba and Iran are "beneficial for the world, particularly Latin America." Castro also said Iran, like other countries of the world "has the right to produce atomic energy with peaceful goals, as well as access related modern technology." Ahmadinejad, according to the Radio Havana broadcast, reiterated his country's right to peaceful nuclear energy, saying Iran would not kowtow to western countries that already had nuclear arsenals. The United States has charged that Iran is secretly developing nuclear weapons. Iran says its nuclear program is for producing electricity and other civilian uses and claims it has the right under the Non-Proliferation Treaty to have enrichment technology. Mr. Burns worked for several years on Capitol Hill. He previously reported on Cuba and Latin America as a correspondent for Cybercast News Service and United Press International. humaneventsonline.com

When I see massive public uprisings by these so called peace loving Muslims against the lunatics within their midst I will believe that this religious war can somehow end peacefully. I just don't see the outrage though. Didn't see it when the Cole was attacked, didn't see it World Trade Center 1 and 2, the list goes on, but no outrage. Until I see it I have found a raciest side to my nature and only can think of one out here, the old special forces credo, kill them all and let God or Allah if they prefer sort it out. Let them decide if they get virgins or the express elevator to hell.
