Re: Has anyone noticed that the Zionist lobby and Iran BOTH oppose the Saudi arms deal. A strange world out there. It looks "strange" indeed only if one fails to see the difference between Iran's genuine anger at the US's escalation tactics and the Israeli masquerading.... For one, most if not all of US deliveries involve defensive systems (like Patriot missiles for Jordan) and they are all conventional weapons, that is to say, Israel's nuclear supremacy remains intact. I guess Israel's gesticulating at the US-Sunni arms deal was initially meant to deflect (public) attention from its one and only purpose, namely, pitting Arab countries against Iran but somehow --and disappointingly as far as Judeocons are concerned-- the truth came out and the media-military complex failed to conceal the scheme's anti-Iranian motive. It all boils down to the US attempting to replay the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s, this time, however, the US plans to pit not just Iraq but also Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt and even Syria, against Iran.... Where will the Judeofascists' war follies end? Gus

The US makes trouble wherever it goes -- and then blames others. antiwar.com >>US-India Nuke Deal May Spark Asian Arms Race UNITED NATIONS - The U.S. decision last week to proceed with a controversial civilian nuclear deal with India has triggered strong negative responses from peace activists, disarmament experts, and anti-nuclear groups. "The development of a nuclear/strategic alliance between the United States and India may promote arms racing between India and Pakistan, and [between] India and China," says John Burroughs, executive director of the New York-based Lawyers' Committee on Nuclear Policy. The deal, he told IPS, also undermines prospects for global agreements on nuclear restraint and disarmament. An equally negative reaction came from former UN Under-Secretary-General for Disarmament Affairs Jayantha Dhanapala: "It has the dangerous potential of triggering a nuclear arms race among India, Pakistan, and China, with disastrous consequences for Asian peace and stability and Asia's emerging economic boom." But the Indian government argues that the nuclear agreement would neither destabilize the region nor prompt an arms race. Nor will it trigger a "copycat deal" between Pakistan and China, India's national security adviser N.K. Narayanan told reporters last week. "This agreement was not an excuse to enhance our strategic capabilities," he told a press briefing in New Delhi. Zia Mian of the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University says the United States sees strategic and economic benefits in the nuclear deal with India. "But the people of India and Pakistan will pay the price, since the nuclear deal will fuel the India-Pakistan nuclear arms race," he added. The deal will allow India to increase its capacity to make nuclear weapons materiel, and Pakistan has already said it will do whatever it can to keep up with India. "This means nuclear establishments in both countries will become more powerful, drain even greater resources away from social development, and increase the nuclear danger in South Asia," Mian told IPS. Nicholas Burns, the U.S. undersecretary of state who led the negotiations, denied the deal was a clear example of political double standards by an administration which has been trying to punish Iran for its nuclear ambitions but gives its blessings to India. "This agreement sends a message to outlaw regimes such as Iran that if you behave [ir]-responsibly, you will not be penalized," he told reporters last week. India – along with Pakistan and Israel – has refused to sign the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT), but Iran has. <<
