Not a Clue

Charley Reese at LewRockwell.com - a little common sense. Wish the Busheviks had some. Even a little. [lew]

For example, by what right do the United States and the Europeans tell Iran it cannot enrich uranium? Other nations enrich uranium. Iran is a signatory of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, and it grants the right to enrich uranium. Where does the United States get off telling the Iranians they can't do it?

Oh, the U.S. claims Iran wants to build nuclear weapons. Well, first and foremost, Iran denies that, and there is no proof to the contrary. But suppose Iran does want to build nuclear weapons. Why shouldn't it? We have nukes. The British, the French, the Russians, the Chinese, the Indians, the Pakistanis and the Israelis all have nuclear weapons. Why shouldn't Iran? For that matter, what right does anyone have to tell the North Koreans they can't have nukes and can't even test their missiles? Everybody else tests the missiles.

What you see is that the United States and some of the European states are still trying to run the world to suit them, even though formal colonialism has been a long time dead. President Bush seems to think that he has the right to engineer regime change in any country he chooses. The U.S. record on regime change is poor. One reason so many Iranians hate us is because we engineered a regime change in the 1950s that threw out their elected nationalist leader and replaced him with the Shah. A lot of Iranians were executed, tortured and imprisoned before the Iranian people could finally get rid of him.

The Next Ned Lamont Needs YOUR Support

Check out Carl Sheeler, who is running for the US Senate in Rhode Island.

Learn about who he is, where he stands on the issues, and why he deserves our support.

Then do what you can to make sure he is the next Ned Lamont.

If you can spare a few bucks, please consider contributing to Carl so that he can extend his "Impeach Bush" Campaign ads through the primary (only 3 weeks away). Carl's goal is to raise just $20 from each of his supporting blogs -- I'm thinking we can bust that goal right outta the ball park. If just 20 of you give $1 each, we've made our goal. And hopefully, those who can afford it, will give a bit more. (Hey, we might even win a prize for raising the most bucks!)

This guy is worth it, people. We can help elect an ANTI-WAR, LIBERAL, Rhode Island DEMOCRAT to the Senate.

Remember, even if you're not from that state (I'm not either), the only way to wrestle the House and Senate away from the corporate financed, corrupt politicians is by electing people like Carl. He needs us -- And we need him.

CLICK HERE TO CONTRIBUTE!

Thanks for all you do, folks.

Political spam

Political spam. That's a new one. Without any links, even. Well, Google led me to the pasted article, so I posted the following comment:

National health care? No stated position on the unalienable individual, civil, Constititional, and human right of every man, woman, and responsible child to obtain, own, and carry, openly or concealed, any weapon -- rifle, shotgun, handgun, machinegun, anything -- any time, any place, without asking anyone's permission? No thank you.
