هیلاری کلینتون، وزیر امور خارجه آمریکا به نمایندگان کشورهای شرکت کننده در اجلاس بازنگری «NPT» پیشنهاد «خاورمیانه بدون سلاح اتمی» را ارایه داد و بدون آنکه از رژیم اسرائیل نامی ببرد، به ایران پیشنهاد شفافسازی در برنامه اتمیاش را داد و این در حالی است که بیش از دهها بار از مقامات آمریکایی شنیدهایم که تاکنون ایرانیها به سلاح اتمی دست پیدا نکردهاند و در مقابل اسرائیل صدها کلاهک اتمی را در زرادخانههای خود دارد.
به گزارش «تابناک»، سخنان بالا را «عبدالباری عطوان»، سردبیر روزنامه «القدس العربی» در یادداشت امروز خود بیان کرده و مینویسد: از سوی دیگر، هیلاری کلینتون با این سخنان خود به کشورهای عربی و به ویژه مصر دهن کجی کرد، زیرا مصر پیشنهاد برگزاری کنفرانس «خاورمیانه بدون سلاح» را برای سال آینده داده و یادداشت آن را به سران 189 کشور شرکت کننده در اجلاس نیویورک نیز ارایه کرده است.
همه این سخنان و تحرک دیپلماسی در این اجلاس، در واقع ریشخندی بود به کشورهای عربی شرکت کننده در اجلاس، زیرا آمریکا و اسرائیل در این اجلاس، هر آنچه خواستند، گفتند و هر آنچه میخواهند، انجام میدهند و همچنان کشورهای خاورمیانه را از ایران میترسانند تا خطر واقعی اسرائیل فراموششان شود.
وی اضافه میکند: ما نمیدانیم که آینده اتمی ایران چگونه رقم خواهد خورد؛ اما همگان میدانند که رژیم اسرائیل آنقدر کلاهک هستهای دارد که چندین بار خاورمیانه را نابود کند.
عطوان در ادامه میافزاید: آیا اکنون گاه آن نرسیده که واقعبین باشیم و کشورهای عربی را به دستیابی به انرژی اتمی ترغیب کنیم؟ آیا نمیتوان به جای خرید میلیاردی سلاحهای خاک خورده در غرب، در اندیشه دستیابی به توان اتمی باشیم تا این زن ـ هیلاری کلینتون ـ اینگونه به بیعرضگی اعراب نیشخند نزند؟
بیایید از پانصد میلیارد دلاری که هر سال کشورهای عربی از فروش نفت به دست میآورند، بخشی را به راهاندازی زیرساختهای اتمی در کشورشان هزینه کنند تا اسرائیل را در تنگنای اتمی قرار دهیم و کمتر از ایران بترسیم.
همچنین چند روز پیش نیز «ایهاب فوزی»، رئیس شورای سفرای عرب در وین، از دولتهای عضو اتحادیه اروپا خواسته است تا نقش خود در قبال موضوع ایجاد منطقهای عاری از سلاح هستهای را به خوبی بازی کنند و از هرگونه جانبداری تحت تأثیر سیاستهای غرب بپرهیزند.
وی از اتحادیه اروپا خواست تا از هرگونه موضعگیری دوگانه در قبال این قضیه خودداری کند.
این گزارش میافزاید: اما نقد اعراب آن هم از درون جوامع عربی، مدتی است که پررنگتر شده است.
«حسنین هیکل»، روزنامهنگار سرشناس مصری نیز چندی پیش در گفتوگو با «الاهرام» گفته بود: عربها از مسائل عربی، آینده اعراب و شهروندان عرب دست کشیدهاند و شهروندان عرب در سایه اوضاع اجتماعی کنونی و نظر به نبود اندیشه توسعه و همچنین نبود استقلال در یاس و نومیدی هستند.
گفتنی است، چندی پیش نیز معمر قذافی که همواره خود را از رهبران پیشرو جهان عرب میداند، در سخنانی با انتقاد از انفعال عربي در قبال مسأله فلسطين و تصميم اعراب براي آغاز روند سازش، اوضاع حاكم بر جهان عرب را
تأسفبار خوانده و تأکید کرده بود، ادامه چنین روندی نتیجهای جز نابودی جهان عرب در پی نخواهد داشت.
Why don’t you Muslim try to build peaceful nations before buying weaponry and building nukes? How can this world rest assured that you authoritarian and chaotic nations would launch them irresponsibly?
Because being Muslim contradicts being peaceful!
Nuclear weapons are a waste of money for a country in Iran’s position. Any use of even one of them would result in a nuclear response that would destroy the entire country, and the development of a nuclear arsenal will only encourage countries like the U.S. to start production on a neutron-bomb stockpile, that could be used against any nation that started a nuclear conflict, without fear of harming nearby allies with fallout, or permanently poisoning the real estate.
It is the perfect “green” nuke.
So why waste the time & money?…neither the U.S. nor Israel will toss a nuke at anyone first, due to the catastrophic avalanche of worldwide & domestic outrage (whoever would stupidly order such a thing would no doubt be arrested for war crimes & probably executed, with the blessings of his own countrymen) as well as the threat of retaliation by other nuclear powers, which could conceivably escalate into a devastating world conflict.
Don’t worry…whether or not Iran has a nuclear weapon, no one will roll those dice
So I ask again, why waste the money?
What if a sect is ruling Iran that believes in an end time prophecy which involves destroying Israel to save the world and doesn’t care much about the destruction of their own country??
Tamizifar, then there is nothing you can do to stop it anyway…the genie is out of the bottle, and the ability to get the components to build a nuke is becoming easier every year. Just pray no one is truly that insane.
I’ve attended one of the schools belonging to this sect when I was 12, and that’s the impression I have from this issue.
The article skips brainlessly from the term nuclear weapon to the term nuclear, which can cover research, scanning, medicine and electrical power and heat.
It is obviously pointless propaganda, postulating that moves toward peace are humiliating.
Honestly, listening to this talk about honor and humiliation is like negotiating with a testosterone-fueled teenager who’s drunk.
Diplomacy and compromise are NOT about honor and humiliation, and public media should not be adding to the fire of public indignation. Stirring up the public may sell papers, but the papers are destroyed in the wars that follow.
To the authors of this article: Shut up and reflect about your misuse of media power.
Then until someone thinks they want to go through with it, and until the Islamic world sees the unimaginable results, I guess we’re boned.
You can tell a child to stay away from the stove, but until he burns the skin off his hand, he won’t really believe you.
ormondotvos, You should know some facts about Iran:
– Iran has known natural gas reserves for the next 120 years
– The total Iranian power grid capacity is more than 30,000 Mega Watts
– The Bushehr Power Plant and the whole nuclear fuel cycle will be producing 1,000 Mega Watts (IF IT EVER STARTS WORKING!)
– Producing 1 Mega watt of electricity in a combined cycle plant (burning natural gas) costs nearly one twentieth of a nuclear plant (in Iran)
– The nuclear program has a huge impact on the GDP, worth more than the whole electricity industry
Now can you imagine that this is all for peaceful purposes?
tamizifar,
The purpose of the article is not peace, nor war. Looked at from the viewpoint of the writer, the only legitimate way to look at it, it seems that the writer feels instructed to stir up national honor in whatever irrational way possible, to increase the stability of the rulers by invoking an enemy, and an honorable reaction to such a threat. It’s an old game, as old as stamping around a campfire raising adrenaline before a coordinated hunt for a large game animal, the real genesis of this now impractical behavior.
But I find the MidEast very resistant to the idea of government adapted to the human nature AND the current human condition, both intellectual and technological.
Your arguments about nuclear electricity ignore the global warming problem, which MUST always be considered. Yes, it is true that Iran could trade natural gas electric generators for an abandonment of its nuclear program, and free up a large cadre of technicians for technological advances in infrastructure such as electric vehicles, high-speed rail, wind power, and solar electric and heating.
But they won’t, because, as you see from the article, the people in power (men) are more interested in the stability of the government THEY lead, than in a government of the people.
This is due, I think, to the theocratic nature of Islam, which does not admit of secular government, on what I think are very silly and mythical grounds. I am unalterably opposed to governance based on reveal wisdom that is not modifiable by later discovered evidence. I think morality is in humans, and we don’t have any sort of sin in our nature.
Our nature evolved to fit a particular world that doesn’t exist, any more than the tribal world of Mohammed exists any longer in the wider world. There’s a reason for Islamic warlords as the foundation to which the MidEast keeps crumbling. Humans are no longer bindable to the tribal customs after they’ve seen the wider world on television. Communications AMONG cultures destroys rigid religions, and a religion with hijab and jihad that encourages martyrdom and throws acid in women’s faces is too rigid to continue that way.
Islam needs its Reformation, and it needs it now. Just like warlords must give up their fiefdoms to the central governments, Islam must acknowledge that religion is personal, not governmental.
Note: I will not argue the reality of Islam, or its so-called divine beginnings, any more than I’d argue with children at play about the rules of their particular sandbox. But children must grow up, to join the wider world, or we end up with the Lord of the Flies.
