America Has Not Forgotten Its Revenge on Iran

As expected, aside from leaders posing for pictures at the opening of the G-20 summit in Cannes, France, nothing else essentially was accomplished.

On the topic of the European debt crisis, more specifically Greece’s debt crisis, most analysts believe that the focus of the summit is figuring out how to help alleviate the European debt crisis. Thus, the host country, France, gave China’s President Hu Jintao special treatment. For instance, there was a grand, courteous reception for Hu when he entered the building, and during the picture posing, Hu was placed right next to French President Nicolas Sarkozy. Before this, Europe’s Financial Stability Fund CEO, Klaus Regling, headed to Beijing to promote European Financial Stability bonds. His eyes were fixed upon the part of China whose “foreign exchange earnings increase every month.” However, China stressed that it could help Europe, but does not want to be taken advantage of.

Helping out is the moral thing to do; however, it comes with conditions. Buying bonds is a business investment action, with no human feelings to speak of. From the perspective of the people in PIIGS (Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain), high welfare and high enjoyment are their given rights; and the bond crisis is the government’s problem, not theirs. Thus, if China buys Europe’s bonds, it would be like “throwing a meat bun at a dog” — you throw it, but it does not return. China is adamant about not getting mixed up in this; however, it will reconsider if there is technology transfer and a breakthrough on the arms embargo issue.

Under these conditions, the G-20 summit became a “boost-the-economy” rhetoric summit. At the summit, Hu talked a lot about “controlling commodity prices,” unity, cooperation and harmony. These concepts mean nothing to Western countries; they are concepts distasteful even to some in the United States. Unexpectedly, President Obama raised an odd issue.

Something that no other leader was expecting was Obama talking directly about Iran’s nuclear problem and nuclear threat, even though he did not say anything at the summit itself. As we all know, the International Atomic Energy Agency will submit its “Iran’s Nuclear Report” next week. From the U.S.’s standpoint, this is a great opportunity to solve the problem of U.S. domestic demand and boost Europe’s economy! Once there is evidence proving that Iran violated the relevant provisions of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty by privately researching nuclear weapons, then the U.S. can dispatch the troops. The U.S. has long thought about revenge.

On April 11, 1979, the Iranian hostage crisis happened, which lasted over a year. In the end, it caused the U.S. to sign the humiliating Algiers Accords and precipitated the collapse of the Carter administration. In these past 20 years, this bitter lesson has caused the American people to lose face and become restless. Iran also understands the dangers of this “victory,” and so it has, at all costs, been secretly researching nuclear weapons. Once Iran’s nuclear weapons research is successful, then it will be difficult for the U.S. to exact its revenge.

Iran and Israel are enemies, which has seriously threatened America’s dominance in the Middle East. Former Egyptian President Mubarak provided President Bush Jr. with false information, which led to the U.S. unjustly placing blame on Iraq. However, the U.S. firmly believed that Saddam Hussein’s government had weapons of mass destruction that were transferred there. The U.S. always suspected Syria or Iran of helping Saddam bury said weapons.

Mubarak, the man who tricked the U.S., has fallen out of power. Libya’s Gaddafi administration, which had previously provided Hamas with large amounts of monetary support to attack Israel, has also collapsed. Iran and Syria are collaborating with each other, which is intolerable for the U.S. The survival of Syria’s President Assad is a kind of threat to Israel’s survival. This is the real reason the U.S. has targeted President Assad for assassination.

Following Palestine’s successful “entrance” into UNESCO, the U.S. has clearly felt the urgency of removing the Syrian and Iranian governments. Once Palestine officially joins UNESCO, it will become a survival nightmare for the U.S. and Israel. The U.S. just pulled troops out of Afghanistan and toppled Gaddafi and Mubarak; it has free hands to deal with Iran and Syria, two birds of a feather. From the U.S.’s point of view, to kill a snake, one must first hit the head — Iran and Syria are the Middle East’s “snake head.”

Using war to boost an economy is a clever tactic. It is for this reason that Sarkozy expressed support for the U.S. seeking “revenge” on Iran.
