A Short Essay On The Iranian Nuclear Program, The
Sanction Against the Country by The United States of America & Its Allies,
and The Human Right Issues in Iran!
It has been my intention for sometime to write a shot essay on
the subject. Given that at this very moment in space and time, there is a
diplomatic initiative in Geneva, Switzerland, primarily initiated by the
Government of Iran, perhaps time has come for me to write.
This is just a humble effort, on my part; a short contribution,
if I may, in the hope that it might help to bring about a change of heart in
those who are, for one reason or another, opposed to the lifting of the
sanction against the country, which in my humble opinion, is serving no
purpose, but in the first instance hurting the ordinary Iranian people.
First and foremost, it is undeniable historical fact, forgotten
and denied by some Western Media and politicians, that it was the American
Government, which built the 1st
Atomic Bomb. On the eve of World War
II, Albert Einstein endorsed a
letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt
alerting him to "extremely powerful bombs of a new type" and
recommending that the U.S. Government begin to research. This eventually led to
what would become the Manhattan Project.
Einstein was in support of defending the Allied forces against
Nazi Germany, but largely denounced using the new discovery of nuclear fission as
a weapon.
It is April 1945. President Roosevelt has died. Harry
S. Truman has become 33rd President of the United States
of America. The Bomb is being built in Los
Alamos, New Mexico, with collaboration of German Mathematicians, Scientists,
and successfully being tested.
Nazi Germany has been defeated. Berlin, the capital of the Third Reich, is under the occupation, in
the East, by The Soviet Union, and in
the West, by the Allied Forces.
It is August 1945. The war in Pacific Ocean has already been
won given many human scarifies. Japan is on the verge of defeat and surrender. President
Truman endorses dropping of two Atomic Bombs on Japan, on the city of Hiroshima
and Nagasaki. He commits the worst atrocity against human race. For what
reason!
The action of the Government of the United States of America alerts
Josef Stalin to build the Bomb within
a relatively short space of time; leading to the cold war between the West and the
East. In other words, the US Government must take full responsibility for the proliferation
of the atomic weapons, initially and primarily to the countries of the North
Atlantic Treaty (NATO), i.e., its own allies.
It is also a historical fact that ever since the cold war, no
head of state has dared to use the bomb for military gain or purpose; for many
good reasons. There was a brief conflict on Cuban
Missile Crisis between John F. Kennedy and First Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Nikita S. Khrushchev. It is well known fact that a compromise
between the two leaders emerged, initiated by Khrushchev.
The Iranian Government has
consistently informed the whole world that the enrichment of uranium is for
harvesting nuclear energy for domestic use and that Iran has no ambition or
intention to use it for military purpose or to build Atomic Bombs. However, let
us, for the sake of argument, assume that Iran has the desire and the ambition to
build the bomb, for whatever reason. First and foremost, the United Stated of
America and its allies, i.e., The United Kingdom, Germany, France, etc., have
no right to dictated their will on Iran, given that not only they have no intention
to disarm, but also they are constantly building and accumulating more
sophisticated and destructive weapons; for what purpose! Secondly, the whole
region is littered with atomic bombs; Israel, India, Pakistan, etc. Let Iranian
Government also build the bomb, i.e., for its own reasons. Would they dare to
use it? Could they use it against the state of Israel? Of course not! I for
one, and perhaps majority of people on the planet earth, happen to see no
conflict of interest between the people of Israel and that of Iran; between
Jews, Muslims, Christians, etc.; wherever they happen to be at this moment in
space and time.
Therefore, I wish to ask, so
perhaps, many other individuals, why the United States of America and its
allies do not stop pursuing their futile policies, when they can apply and exercise
common sense in their foreign affairs and policies when dealings with other
nations. What is this so-called ‘national interest’ that they constantly refer
to? To what end and to what purpose!
I would like, if I may, also to add
that I for one, and many people and individuals, men, women, young, and old, are
not for the use of nuclear energy and construction of atomic power stations,
for variety of good reasons. First and foremost, it is not safe, at least, at
this moment in space and time. There are many examples one can provide. Tsunami
in Japan is a good one. Secondly, we have the technology to burn Hydrogen as an alternative source of
energy, available, virtually unlimited, to mankind. Why there is such a
resistance on the part of Oil Companies and many head of states, given the contamination
of the planet and its atmosphere as a result of burning of fossil fuel and the radiation
from nuclear plants? Just consider the imbalances caused to the ecology of the
mother earth and the latest devastation caused by hurricane in Philippine, heading
for Vietnam, at this very point, in space and time.
Last but not the least, on the
question of human rights, though its violation in any form and shape, naturally
is objectionable by all descent and conscientious people, let us face it, the
America Government and its Western Allies, I regret to say, do not enjoy much
credibility, even in the eyes of their own people, and the rest of the world,
when it comes to respect human rights. Just consider the discrimination against
blacks in different states of America, the war in Vietnam, the US foreign polices
in Iran, Latin America, the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Just bear in mind the
crimes committed by the British Government in Ireland, India, China, in Iraq
and Afghanistan. Consider French colonial past in North Africa. The crimes
committed by the Third Reich against
the Jews, disabled, communists, etc. For goodness sake, consider they way the
State of Israel behaving in Palestine! Once upon a time Jews, Christians, and
Muslims were living happily together in piece there. I wonder what went wrong!
Therefore, I would like, if I may,
so perhaps majority of the working people whole over the Globe, to ask President Obama and the Head of States of its allies
why for goodness sake are employing double standard! Why pretending and boosting
on their bourgeois democracy, i.e., the democracy of small minority of perhaps
not more than 1% of 7,000,000,000 or so of the population of the world!
In conclusion; the news has just
broken out that the talks in Geneva has ended without producing the result, one
would have hoped for. Naturally Iranian people are very much disappointed, and perhaps
for good reasons, that the efforts of their government has not produced the
result they were hopping for. So I dare to add that the same applies to
majority of the working people whole over the globe; that is to say, seeing no
sense in the hostility directed by the US Government, its Allies, which includes
the State of Israel, towards Iran. Let us face it that at the end of the day not
only this is affecting and hurting the Iranian people, but also the rest of the
world.
I have said, in this sort essay,
what I set out to write. I hope I know what I want. Hence I must, if I may, end
here and leave it to the readers to make up their own mind and to be the judge
of those who were in Geneva.
