Iranian leader issues fatwa against nuclear weapons
Iran today broke the seals at one of its nuclear facilities. Needless to say, that seems like awfully bad news, though Iran may be as much as a decade away from nuclear weaponry. But there's a bigger story out there, and it's not getting nearly enough coverage in the media:
The Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the real leader of Iran, has issued a fatwa against nuclear weapons. At an emergency meeting of the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna, Iran issued the following statement, which I quote from the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA):
Yes, there's the predictable anti-Americanism here -- and one worries about President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's blend of anti-Americanism and economic populism -- but the fatwa itself is extraordinary. It may be seen as something of a smokescreen, even as a lie, and there may be nothing to prevent Iran from shifting its allegedly peaceful use of nuclear power over to weapons-production sometime down the road, but, for now, Iran's pledge seems to be a promising development.We meet when the world is remembering the atomic bombings of the civilians in Hiroshima (Aug 6) and Nagasaki (Aug 9) sixty years ago.
The savagery of the attack, the human suffering it caused, the scale of the civilian loss of life turning individuals, old and young, into ashes in a split second, and maiming indefinitely those who survived should never be removed from our memory. It is the most absurd manifestation of irony that the single state who caused this single nuclear catastrophe in a twin attack on our earth now has assumed the role of the prime preacher in the nuclear field while ever expanding its nuclear weapons capability...
Indeed, it is not only Iran but also many members of NAM (the Non-Aligned Movement) that are denied the peaceful uses of nuclear technology by some of the NPT nuclear-weapon states and their allies through the mechanisms of export controls and other denial arrangements. In 1995, they adopted the so-called "Iran clause" under which they agreed to deny nuclear technology to Iran in any circumstances.
You can then understand, why Iran after being denied nuclear technology in violation of the NPT, had no other option but to rely on indigenous efforts with precaution on full transparency and we succeeded in developing our nuclear technology. Iran is a nuclear fuel cycle technology holder, a capability which is exclusively for peaceful purposes.
The Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has issued the Fatwa that the production, stockpiling and use of nuclear weapons are forbidden under Islam and that the Islamic Republic of Iran shall never acquire these weapons. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who took office just recently, in his inaugural address reiterated that his government is against weapons of mass destruction and will only pursue nuclear activities in the peaceful domain. The leadership of Iran has pledged at the highest level that Iran will remain a non-nuclear-weapon state party to the NPT and has placed the entire scope of its nuclear activities under IAEA safeguards and additional protocol, in addition to undertaking voluntary transparency measures with the agency that have even gone beyond the requirements of the agency's safeguard system.
We shall see. (In the meantime, remain hopeful, if skeptical.)

Mr. Stickings,
you may criticize the Republican administration as much as you want. Be as dogmatic as you want to be. But when you're making attacks on the good old US of A, don't forget the economic reasoning behind this administration. Right now, oil is at $65 a barrel. Don't you think the Bush administration had some insight? They couldn't of been completely wrong by attacking Iraq, in order to possess the second largest oil reserves in the world. Maybe this war wasn't "just" nor "respectable" but it was logical. The ends will always justify the means.

What's this got to do with Michael's post? Is this some sort of pre-arranged rant by some conservative organization to preemptively attack any blog that is anti-Bush?

Yes, some of these comments are quite odd. As some of you have seen, there's been some spam here, but I've promptly deleted it. It was particularly egregious when I found spam in the comments section to my post on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
I certainly want to hear from across the political spectrum here at The Reaction -- and, of course, everyone's welcome -- but it would be nice if such criticism actually addressed the content of my posts. This is hardly an anti-Bush post. In fact, I don't even mention Bush. Weird.
Does anyone have an explanation?

With the Bush White House making plans for the bombardment of Iran based on its assessment of their nuclear enrichment programme, this post seems prescient. Only yesterday, Ahmadinejad reiterated the peaceful intent of their nuclear program. The fatwa declaring all nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction as inimical to or against Islam receives virtually no comment in mainstream reports in western journals even today, nine months after this blog was first entered. This lacuna is a huge sin of ommission for the western media, and precisely the sort of manipulation Orwell had in his mind while writing about the baleful exploits of Winston Smith, a low level employee in the Ministry of Truth, in 1984. Ignorance is bliss, not only in Oceania, but also in Bush's America.
