We Told You So -More Nuclear States
by James Buchanan
For the past few decades the US has helped Israel beat down any of its Muslim neighbors, who looked like they may want to attain nuclear parity with the Zionist bandit state. There are literally dozens of nations in the world who operate nuclear reactors, but only a handful of these nations have gone on to spend billions of dollars to develop nuclear bombs. The one thing which can motivate a government to spend the money to try to build a nuclear weapon is an outside threat. Thanks to Bush’s preemptive war on Iraq, many nations now see the US as a rogue nation and a very real outside threat. The best way to avoid a nuclear build up is to maintain peace around the world. By invading Iraq, the United States has inspired six Arab nations to go ahead and develop nuclear programs, including even some friendly Arab nations.
A recent news article reports “THE SPECTRE of a nuclear race in the Middle East was raised yesterday when six Arab states announced that they were embarking on programmes to master atomic technology. The move, which follows the failure by the West to curb Iran’s controversial nuclear programme, could see a rapid spread of nuclear reactors in one of the world’s most unstable regions, stretching from the Gulf to the Levant and into North Africa. The countries involved were named by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as Algeria, Egypt, Morocco and Saudi Arabia. Tunisia and the UAE have also shown interest. All want to build civilian nuclear energy programmes, as they are permitted to under international law. But the sudden rush to nuclear power has raised suspicions that the real intention is to acquire nuclear technology which could be used for the first Arab atomic bomb.” (more…)
