تجزیه عراق؟

از وبلاگ سید عطاء الله مهاجرانی

آن همه وعده های شیرین در باره دموکراسی و آزادی در عراق به ثمر رسید! سنای آمریکا با 75 رای موافق(23 رای مخالف) به تجزیه عراق رای داد.یک کشور ویران، یک ملت آواره، دومیلیون عراقی پناهنده در سوریه و اردن و ... و 5/2 میلیون آواره در درون کشور،برافروخته شدن کینه های قومی و طایفه ای و مذهبی در میان مردم.زندگانی سخت و پرمشقت. این ها همه دستاورد آزاد سازی عراق است.
همین خواب را برای ایران هم دیده اند.تقریبا همان سناریو دارد تکرار می شود.سلاح کشتار جمعی جایش را به پرونده هسته ای داده است.به جای القاعده هم در تحلیل ها از حزب الله و حماس و جهاد اسلامی سخن گفته می شود.
سخن بر سر این نیست که ما از رییس جمهور ایران خوشمان می آید یا نه .
طرفدار ولایت فقیه هستیم یا نیستیم.سخن بر سر این است که امریکا کشور ایران را می خواهد.آرزوی بر پایی همان سفارتخانه ای که سایروس ونس در خاطراتش نوشته است؛ سفارت آمریکا در تهران از وزارت خارجه امریکا در واشنگتن بزرگتر بود.با بیش از 1600 کارمند.لابد مثل سفارتی که آمریکایی ها در بغداد می سازند.
به گمانم در تحلیل مسایل ایران نمی توان به این نکته کلیدی توجه نداشت.که آقای احمدی نژاد بهانه اهانت و ناسزاگویی ست.نه این که امریکا با احمدی نژاد مشکل دارد.البته احمدی نژاد با صبوری آمریکا را در موضع ضعف برهان و منطق قرار داده است.برای بوش نامه می نویسد. بوش جواب نمی دهد.دعوت به مذاکره و مناظره می کند، بوش جواب نمی دهد.می خواهد در محل قربانیان فاجعه 11 سپتامبر گل بگذارد و ادای احترام کند.نمی پذیرند.آخر سر هم در اجلاس مجمع عمومی در جلسه سخنرانی بوش می نشیند و با حضور خود ضعف منطق آمریکا را نشان می دهد.و حضور خویش را به رخ آمریکا می کشد.
تمامی این مواضع جهتگیری درستی است که نشان می دهد،کشور و ملت ایران آماده گفتگو و رفع مشکلات است.یادمان باشد که قطع رابطه ی سیاسی با ایران هم یک طرفه از سوی آمریکا انجام شد.
به گمانم موضوع و بحث فراتر از اصلاح طلب یا اصول گراست.در دفاع از ملت ایران و ایران و نظام جمهوری اسلامی که این مجموعه ها با یکدیگر اختلاف اصولی ندارند.حد اکثر بحث در مورد تفسیر و تاویل قانون اساسی و شیوه های اجرایی مبتنی بر همان تفاسیر ست.
اگر می خواهیم به سرنوشت عراق دچار نشویم.کشور ویران و تجزیه نشود.بیش از همیشه ی تاریخ-این نکته را به دلیل این که تاریخ خوانده ام می گویم-نیازمند انسجام ملی هستیم. حتی اگر با انواع بداخلاقی ها رویارو شویم. نبایستی موقعیت خطیر در پیش رو را دست کم بگیریم.به رغم انتقاد ها؛ بایستی دندان روی جگر گذاشت و از آقای احمدی نژاد هم دفاع کرد.تا طمع آمریکا نسبت به کشور و ملت ایران از بن برکنده شود.
تردیدی نیست، مفسران خبری که از واشنگتن و صدای آمریکا بوی کباب به مشام جانشان رسیده است.و برای فرو پاشی جمهوری اسلامی روزشماری می کنند.نمی توانند.افق پیش رو را درست ببینند.بوی کباب و مهمتر از آن دود کباب راه دل و دیده را بر آنان بسته است.ندیده اند که چگونه عراق بر بنیاد دو دروغ اشغال شد؟

A letter to Mr. Lee Bollinger

M. J. A. Larijani, President OF THE Institute for Studies in Theoretical Physics and Mathematics (IPM)

I wish to register my deepest regret in regard to your remarkably discourteous introductory remarks to President Ahmadinejad.

Your class act as an arbiter at the University of Columbia was nothing short of disgrace. It lacked professionalism especially given the fact that Mr. Ahmadinejad had not even been given the chance to speak. And it clearly undermined your repeatedly made claim that the event upheld free speech. Fortunately, this age, despite all its cruelty and barbarity, is an age of transparency, which is why not even liberals can hide themselves behind their usual covers these days.

What happened yesterday merely displayed utter conceit and petty politics showing who it was that really lacked civility. Trying to humiliate an invited guest, an elected President of a sovereign country, before an international media only reflects the culture of an insular and bigoted society. One wonders if your reaction had anything to do with donors threatening to withdraw funds from Columbia. It is incredulous that a respected American university chose to turn this meeting into a show trial of Iranian policies. So much for academic integrity and intellectual honesty.

Your crass, ill-mannered and duplicitous greeting of President Ahmadinejad amounted to a crude planned ambush. It is just unbelievable that someone who is simply questioning elements of the US foreign policy and refuses to be a US client should be submitted to such a systematic harassment.

If anybody wanted any proof that Israeli lobby controls US foreign policy, media, academic, etc., he has found plenty of evidence today. It has been noted that the protests against Iran at the UN and at Columbia were primarily made up of Israeli advocacy groups. Obviously, there is nothing wrong with that, but it highlights, among other things, AIPAC's influence not only on US foreign policy but also in the mainstream academia.

One could be forgiven for thinking that what happened yesterday at Columbia University represents the typical mindset of the present American ruling elite: delusionally arrogant, insolent and insensitive to the rest of the world. A sad spectacle since they have become so politically isolated that they are even incapable of learning from their past experiences.

It is extremely dishonest and manipulative to call into question the Iranian President's integrity when in reality it is the USA that is responsible for the misery and death of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and total destruction of their country. America is the same country that installed a medieval Shah with its secret SAVAK police after removing the democratically government of Dr Mosaddeq which in turn led to the hundreds of thousands of Iranians being killed and tortured by an Israeli trained police force. Ever since its inception, the Islamic Republic of Iran has been subject to countless destabilizing attempts by the US. But it has thwarted them all. The 8-year old war with Iraq, when all Western countries were helping their then good old chum Saddam, failed to bring this country to its knees. We do not think that the current drive towards waging a new war on Iran will stand a better chance of success.

In any case, yesterday was an opportunity to show the world that the USA is an open country that will challenge its opponents with appropriate compassion and honest debate. Instead, your decision to gather all Zionist-manufactured anti-Iranian appellations, pile them up on the stage, and throw them shamelessly at your invited guest, will become the black page of ignominy in Columbia University's history.


With regards,

Russia warns against military action in Iran

Russia today joined the chorus of concern at the possibility of war in Iran while conflicts continued in Iraq and Afghanistan.

At a news briefing in Moscow, the Russian foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, said: "We are worried by reports that there is serious consideration being given to military action in Iran. That is a threat to a region where there are already grave problems in Iraq and Afghanistan."

His comments, after a meeting with his French counterpart, Bernard Kouchner, followed a stark warning yesterday from the UN's chief nuclear weapons inspector aimed at the US.

"I would not talk about any use of force," Mohamed ElBaradei told reporters at the International Atomic Energy Agency headquarters in Vienna. "There are rules on how to use force, and I would hope that everybody would have gotten the lesson after the Iraq situation, where 700,000 innocent civilians have lost their lives on the suspicion that a country has nuclear weapons."

Fears of a military conflict with Iran rose a notch after comments on Sunday night by Mr Kouchner, who said: "We have to prepare for the worst ... the worst is war."

In addition, reports from Washington indicate that administration hawks led by the vice-president, Dick Cheney, are winning the argument for tough action against Tehran.

The US has accused Iran of supplying Shia extremists in Iraq with explosive devices that are taking a deadly toll on American troops.

Another flashpoint is Iran's refusal to stop uranium enrichment, a process that can lead to the development of a nuclear bomb. The US is trying to mobilise international support for further sanctions against Iran at the UN security council, but can expect Russian and Chinese opposition.

The US suspects that Iran is determined to develop a nuclear weapon under cover of its civilian nuclear programme, a charge Iran denies. While it says it is seeking a diplomatic solution, the US has not ruled out the use of force.

France, under its new president, Nicolas Sarkozy, has adopted a much tougher line on Iran, saying that a nuclear-armed Iran poses a dangerous threat to the west.

Mr Sarkozy last month called the Iranian stand-off "the greatest crisis" of current times, saying the world faced "a catastrophic alternative: an Iranian bomb or the bombing of Iran".

Mr Kouchner told reporters in Moscow that the world should not shy away from sanctions to put pressure on Iran.

"The worst thing to happen would be a war, and in order to avoid it we need to continue talks and be firm enough regarding sanctions," he said. "We have to work on precise sanctions that would demonstrate the world community's serious approach to this problem."

But Russia is trying to cool down the situation. In an interview published in the Russian magazine Vremya Novostei, the deputy foreign minister, Alexander Losyukov, said any military intervention in Iran would be a "political error" with catastrophic results.

"We are convinced that there is no military solution to the Iranian problem ... besides, it is quite clear that there is no military solution to the Iraqi problem either," he said.
