Comments on: Iran and nuclear populism http://samsonblinded.org/blog/nuclear-populism.htm A Machiavellian Perspective on the Middle East Conflict Sat, 19 May 2012 18:30:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: ME http://samsonblinded.org/blog/nuclear-populism.htm/comment-page-1#comment-111453 ME Fri, 27 Mar 2009 04:06:22 +0000 http://samsonblinded.org/blog/nuclear-populism.htm#comment-111453 How is oil really the issue? If Iran is exporting out its nose, and diminishing production because it focuses infrastructure funding on nuclear development and funding Hamas and Hizbullah, where is there room for oil exploitation or profits in the mix? Were you refering to corporate profits from Saudi oil production as a by-product of a conflict with Iran? Iran has over 10 (16?) nuclear energy facilities. It also invests heavily in French nuclear energy companies. Sure, it may be interested in nuclear energy deals, but with so much alternative energy resources available (wind, auquatic turbine capabilities, etc.) the excessive focus on nuclear power seems off kilter. Potential irresponsible enrichment dispersal is the not insignificant issue; stemming from an anti-social, anti-western, fundamentalist, anti-majority muslim, regime. Can you just highlight the significance for corporate oil interests and explain why Iran would be dependent on Russia for decades? How is oil really the issue?

I saw an ad for it in Haaretz, of all places. They must've let it slip by somehow. It's too bad you are being banned by the mainstream media while Palestinian terrorist groups are given free reign in spreading their genocidal propaganda. I'm not so sure I want to see Iran bombed, but oil prices are key. If America stopped importing oil tomorrow, the effect would be more pronounced than all the (conventional) <strong>weapons</strong> in the world. The most important thing we can do- one that will affect our lives, and possibly even save our children's lives- is pressure Western governments to reduce dependence on oil imports, as well as spread the message like the one in this blog.

We often forget that Hamas, Hezbollah, and many of the other Islamic terrorist groups, depend for their monetary support on the Saudis’. Under the guise of religious Islamic conservatism, the Saudis have bankrolled the entire terrorist movement. Let’s play “what if....” . What if a devastating aerial attack disabled both the oil production plants and seaports of Arabia and there was no production foreseeable for many years? Oil prices would sky rocket, Western nations would declare an emergency drive towards alternative energy supplies, terrorist organizations and the madrasas would loose all their funding. The Iraqi government would prosper and hopefully there would be a meeting of the minds on sharing the profits once they see the windfall. . It wouldn’t be all good; there would be deprivations, but such a scenario would change the paradigm that has, not only existed for too many years, but has been the fuel for the Islamisist’s engine.
