 Iran Brands the U.S. an ‘Atomic Criminal’Posted on Apr 17, 2010
In the midst of an American-led push for nuclear disarmament, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has labeled the United States an “atomic criminal,” the U.S. being the only country to have used nuclear weapons in warfare. Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, meanwhile, called for an independent body to oversee nuclear disarmament. Iran and North Korea are key targets in the U.S.-directed effort to reduce the danger of nuclear weapons in the world. Khamenei, in a message read at a conference on nuclear disarmament in Tehran, maintained that the use of nuclear weapons is prohibited by Islam. —JCL

“Yes, the good old U.S. of A. takes first place medal in its display on how to misappropriate nature’s forces; molding them into tools of oppression, instead of tools of wisdom, for the greater good. From its incineration of the Japanese population centers - Nagasaki and Hiroshima, it has moved into much milder, but no less, toxic exhibition against those that aren’t ‘with it’.”
==============================
Well said amunaor! What you said are exactly the same thoughts that came to my mind when I read the “Ear to the Ground” piece even before I read your comment.
The only thing I would add is that America, my sad misguided country, through its latest held, so-called international summit on nuclear proliferation, continues to display the ultimate forms of arrogance and hypocrisy that make me feel like throwing up! By failing to apologize to the world for its past crimes and its continued development and usage of weapons of mass destruction, America fails the test of basic decency, honesty and good intentions.
Instead of focusing on its criminal past and present and taking unilateral steps to prove its good intentions to make amends, its misguided politicians, from the president down, continue to pick up on the relatively peaceful nation of Iran, who, even for the sake of argument, is many years away from developing their first midget nuclear weapon if they have a secret plan to do so, while covering for its partner in crimes, Israel, with its known arsenal of some 200 to 300 nuclear bombs.
I was again put to shame of being an American tax-payer when our highly rhetorical, yet not-so-good-intentioned president, brushed away a pointed question from a journalist about Israel’s nuclear arsenal.

We are the worlds greatest terrorists. We are responsible for the terror of the third world, but do our news media report this, do they tell us who was in the room when the president decides to go to war. Then we might understand why, but its a secret, just like Gods plan, or Mason’s hijinx or anything else the opressors, sorry, leaders want or don’t want the public to know. Shame on America for trying to stifle independence in the 3rd world. Shame on America for boycotting Cuba while trading with China. Shame on America for killing Alliende, remember 9/11/73, the true 9/11, we just got what was coming to us in 2001, read your history, be empowered. In the words of the late Howard Zinn, if you don’t know your history, its like you were born yesterday.

Yes, the good old U.S. of A. takes first place medal in its display on how to misappropriate nature’s forces; molding them into tools of oppression, instead of tools of wisdom, for the greater good. From its incineration of the Japanese population centers - Nagasaki and Hiroshima, it has moved into much milder, but no less, toxic exhibition against those that aren’t ‘with it’.
For two decades the U.S. military beast has pummeled and rearranged the surface of Middle Eastern terrain; with a plethora of wonderful bombs bursting in air dirty, littering the region with dirty depleted uranium munitions; as it celebrates its demented notion of democracy, while subjugating the population to Free-Marketeers, imposed by a reign of terror.
Even so, it is still not offended by the insane image starring back at it from the mirror, but instead, like the criminal, projects the image of its own insanity, onto its victim, as it - the criminal - continues its homicidal rampage against it.
