To: "jeffrey E." <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]» Neat indeed. I'm writing about the Iran deal= So far have only sent a form paragraph in response to requests. = Below. Noam <1=> On Iran, as usual, l0=8640m a gloomy contrarian. I'm glad the treaty was signed, a=I it's kind of fun to watch the Republican lunatics shrieking hyste=ically as they try to kill it (as they may). And Israeli hypocrisy has gone well beyond being comical. But in fact the whole thing is farcical, in my opinon. In the US, Iran is "the greatest threat t= world peace", intoned constantly from on high, in the media, every=here. There is also such a thing as world opinion, as measured by such ultra-radicals as Gallup. It turns out that the grea=est threat to world peace is the US, by a very wide margin, no one else eve= close, and Iran barely mentioned. The American population is protect. from these unwanted facts by the Free Press: not reported. There is an organization called US intelligence.=nbsp; They brief Congress regularly on the international security situation= all quite public. On Iran, they point out that it has very limited m=litary power, even by regional standards (a small fraction of Saudi Arabia, for example). Its strategic doctrine i= defensive. If — a big If — it has plans for nuclear w=apons, that would be part of its deterrent strategy. Now who would be=opposed to Iran having a deterrent strategy? Answer is clear: the rogue states that rampage violently in the region and don't wan= any impediment: the US and Israel, also lesser ones like UK and France.&nb=p; One simple way to reduce the threat of nuclear weapons would be to estab=ish a nuclear-weapons free zone in the region, as has been done elsewhere (over US objections). That's been a=vocated by the Arab states for 20 years, with very wide global support, inc=uding Iran. It comes up regularly at the 5-year review meetings of th= Nonproliferation Treaty, at the UN, again a few months ago, when, again, it was blocked by the US to protect its Israel= client, which has a huge nuclear weapons arsenal and wants to keep it.&nbs=; Again, the population is protected from such facts by the Free Press (tho=gh in this case there are some fringe exceptions, and of course the Arms Control literature). Same with the=rest of the litany. Reading the US and UK press is like living in som= lunatic asylum. I'm wondering whether to write about it 0=93 again; have done so repeatedly. It's like talking to a wall. Iran has an awful government, though by the standards of such=US allies as Saudi Arabia, it's practically heaven. =/u> Nevertheless, better to=have the treaty than not to, given the nature of the asylum.<=span> Noam 2 EFTA_R1_01613883 EFTA02491662
