Ron Paul: Why Stop Iran From Getting Nukes?

“Iran is not in breach of international law. There is no evidence that the country is building nuclear weapons” – Five former EU ambassadors to Iran.

Multiple polls by US organizations found that the people of Iran did in fact vote for Ahmadinejad, and there was no election fraud.

As long as people support that idea that we are justified and morally superior in using deadly force to control the “intentions” of others, and then talk about how we are “fighting for freedom” we will only show what hypocrites we are. BUt the joke is on us, cause we will destroy ourselves in the process by bankrupting this country both morally and financially. The alternative is to actually live peacefully and only use our defense for actual DEFENSE from actual aggression, instead of being the aggressor.

Ron Paul is a smart man, but his thinking is completely messed up.

So, with Ron Paul shooting himself in the foot with the Iranian nuke position, looks to me like
Rick Perry is going to the forefront of the GOP fairly soon.

So, put another Texan in the White House and hope he has the gumption to get us out of foreign
entanglements, stimulate the domestic oil and gas industry to to hire another 9.2 Million Americans and stimulate domestic manufacturing of everything…adding more manufacturing jobs here in America. Slap a 100 percent tax on imports.

All the big corporations that have moved their HQs to Dubai and other foreign nations….can stay there, but can’t come back and do business in the USA. And semiconductor companies that think they MUST ship wafers to Malaysia, Korea, Taiwan, or Japan for packaging….can move their operations entirely to those locations….and new semiconductor start up companies can take their place in the US so long as they do ALL their manufacturing here.

100 percent import tax on electronics and appliances…..a tax rebate on electronics and appliances manufactured in the US.

Build 50 more oil and gas refineries in the US in the first two years of a new Presidency.
Those clothes manufacturers who went to the Carribean, Africa, China, etc….stay there. New
domestic manufacturers will take their place in the USA with Made in the USA clothing,
shoes, etc staffed with Americans.

We CAN turn this around and put USA number 1 again….but it won’t come easily. Perry might be the man to do it.

ol’ Lawrence

Ron, go home and get some more bricks, because you’re a few short of a load!

Contrary to your apparent assumptions, Iran is NOT necessarily either the biggest threat to the US, or in their region. We’ve been messing with them for over half a century!
The question shoul dnot be Iran, good or bad,; the question is what business is it of ours?The answer is, it is none of our business; never has been, never should be.But some people cannot accept that we have to meddle. Put an end to our involvement in all these wars, or show me the mandate in The US Constitution to be the boss of the world.
Our enemy is, and always has been the Banks. Follow the money, and Audit/End the Fed!!Only Paul has taken dead aim on the belly of the beast: The Fed. Only The Fed gains from these international gambits.

Should have proofread; meant to say, accept that we DON’T have to meddle. And while were at it Get US out of the UN!

Israel vs. Iran? Israel will romp. The danger in the Middle East is the threat that US influence is now favoring fundamentalist Islamic revolution worldwide under Obama, and netraying Israel. We do BIG business with nations much worse than Iran; China comes to mind; and they have nukes.
Debt is our enemy, so keep an eye on where, and why our we are forfieting treasure in these wars that will leave us in economic shackles down to our great grandchildren. And we are paying interest on money borrowed from a Fed that never had those trillions to begin with. Paul says, tear that debt up and put the Fed out of business. And he is right.

The emphasis from Paul is not on allowing or not allowing any country to destroy another but on us taking our focus (and money) away from the rest of the world and refocusing on the US and our citizens. Let Israel handle Iran, they are MORE than capable. We need a president willing to tell the world to police and feed itself while we fix our own problems.

You youngsters likely do not know how well the long-time nuclear power Israel can take care of business. The best thing is for them to do it, and for US to stand right behind them. Israel has had nukes for over a generation, but has defeated several well armed Islamist nations at once, without resorting to nuclear arms. It took them one week to defeat the combined armed forces of Egypt, Jordan & Syria, with attacks also coming from Lebanon.

I was a Ron Paul fan up until his lame remarks concerning Iran and allowing them to have nuclear weapons.. Sorry Ron you lost my vote and millions of others like it..Take your road show somewhere else now.. Your presidential campaign just got nuked itself..

Ron Paul is so far out of touch, it is pathetic. Soon he will be a former candidate.

Let’s see, what would be wrong with letting Iran have nuclear weapons? Maybe the fact that Iran’s leaders are suicidal maniacs, who believe that they must start WWWIII to usher in a world ruled my Islam!

The Jews are NOT promoting brain washing children in military training camps, teaching them how to blow themselves up and cause maximum deaths of Jews and other non Muslims. The Jews don’t hijack planes, nor kill athletes at the Olympics, or blow themselves up in German restaurants. There is NOT one single Jew who has destroyed a church. There is NOT a single Jew who protests by killing people.

The Jews don’t traffic in slaves, nor have leaders calling for Jihad and death to all the Infidels.

Perhaps the world’s Muslims should consider investing more in standard education and less in blaming the Jews for all their problems.

Muslims must ask ‘what can they do for humankind’ before they demand that humankind respects them.

Regardless of your feelings about the crisis between Israel and the Palestinians and Arab neighbors, even if you believe there is more culpability on Israel ‘s part, the following two sentences really say it all:

‘If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more violence.

If the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel .”

THE ISLAMIC MEIN KAMPF

http://www.oldbluewebdesigns.com/IslamicMeinKampf.swf

General Eisenhower Warned Us:
It is a matter of history that when the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death camps he ordered all possible photographs to be taken, and for the German people from surrounding villages to be ushered through the camps and even made to bury the dead.

He did this because he said in words to this effect:

‘Get it all on record now – get the films – get the witnesses – because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened’

Recently, the UK debated whether to remove The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it ‘offends’ the Muslim population which claims it never occurred. It is not removed as yet. However, this is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into it.

It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended. This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the, 6 million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians, and 1,900 Catholic priests who were ‘murdered, raped, burned, starved, beaten, experimented on and humiliated’ while the German people looked the other way.

Now, more than ever, with Iran , among others, claiming the Holocaust to be ‘a myth,’ it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets.

This e-mail is intended to reach 400 million people. Be a link in the memorial chain and help distribute this around the world.

How many years will it be before the attack on the World Trade Center ‘NEVER HAPPENED’ because it offends some Muslim in the United States?

Jesus answered and said unto him, VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO THEE, EXCEPT

I had no idea who General Chong is or the source of these thoughts. so when I received them, I almost deleted them – as well – written as they are. But then I did a “Google search” on the General and found him to be a retired Air Force Surgeon of all things and past Commander of Wilford Hall Medical Center in San Antonio. So he is real, is connected to Veterans affairs, and these are his thoughts. They are worth reading and thinking about!! (the same Google search will direct you to some of his other thought – provoking writings.)

Authored by Maj. Gen. Vernon Chong, USAFR:

“This War is for REAL!”

To get out of a difficulty, one usually must go through it. Our country is now facing the most serious threat to its existence, as we know it, that we have faced in your lifetime and mine (which includes WWII). The deadly seriousness is greatly compounded by the fact that there are very few of us who think we can possibly lose this war and even fewer who realize what losing really means.

First, let’s examine a few basics:

When did the threat to us start?
Many will say September 11, 2001. The answer as far as the United States is concerned is 1979, 22 years prior to September 2001, with the following attacks on us:

Iran Embassy Hostages, 1979;
Beirut, Lebanon Embassy 1983;
Beirut, Lebanon Marine Barracks 1983;
Lockerbie, Scotland Pan-Am flight to New York 1988;
First New Your World Trade Center attack 1993;
Dhahran, Saudi Arabia Khobar Towers Military complex 1996;
Nairobi, Kenya US Embassy 1998;
Dares Salaam, Tanzania US Embassy 1998;
Aden, Yemen USS Cole 2000;
New Your World Trade Center 2001;
Pentagon 2001.
(Note that during the period from 1981 to 2001 there were 7,581 terrorist attacks world wide).

Why were we attacked?
Envy of our position, our success, and our freedoms. The attacks happened during the administrations of Presidents Carter, Reagan, Bush 1, Clinton and Bush 2. We cannot fault either the Republicans or Democrats as there were no provocations by any of the presidents or their immediate predecessors, President Ford or Carter.

Who were the attackers?
In each case, the attacks on the US were carried out by Muslims.

What is the Muslim population of the World? 25%.

5. Isn’t the Muslim Religion peaceful?

Hopefully, but that is really not material. There is no doubt that the predominately

Christian population of Germany was peaceful, but under the dictatorial leadership

of Hitler (who was also “Christian”), that made no difference. You either went

along with the administration or you were eliminated. There were 5 to 6 million

Christians killed by the Nazis for political reasons (including 7,000 Polish priests).

(see http://www.nazis.testimony.co.uk/7-a.htm)

Thus, almost the same numbers of Christians were killed by the Nazis, as the six million holocaust Jews who were killed by them, and we seldom heard of anything other than the Jewish atrocities. Although Hitler kept the world focused on the Jews, he had no hesitancy about killing anyone who got in his way of exterminating the Jews or of taking over the world – German, Christian or any others. The same scenario applies with the Muslim terrorists. They focus the world on the US, but kill all in the way – their own people or the Spanish, French or anyone else.

The point her is that just like the peaceful Germans were of no protection to anyone from the Nazis, no matter how many peaceful Muslims there may be, they are no protection for us from the terrorist Muslim leaders and what they are fanatically bent on doing – by their own pronouncements – killing all of us “infidels.” I don’t blame the peaceful Muslims. What would you do if the choice was shut up or die?

6. So who are we at war with?

There is no way we can honestly respond that it is anyone other than the Muslim terrorists. Trying to be politically correct and avoid verbalizing this conclusion can well be fatal. There is no way to win if you don’t clearly recognize and articulate who you are fighting!

So with that background, now to the two major questions:

1. Can we lose this war?

2. What does losing really mean?

If we are to win, we must clearly answer these two pivotal questions.

We can definitely lose this war, and as anomalous as it may sound, the major reason we can lose is that so many of us simply do not fathom the answer to the second question – What does losing mean?

It would appear that a great many of us think that losing the war means hanging our heads, bringing the troops home and going on about our business, like post Vietnam. This is as far from the truth as one can get. What losing really means is:

We would no longer be the premier country in the world. The attacks will not subside, but rather will steadily increase. Remember, they want us dead, not just quiet. If they had just wanted us quiet, they would not have produced an increasing series of attacks against us, over the past 18 years. The plan was clearly for terrorist to attack us until we were neutered and submissive to them. We would of course have no future support from other nations for fear of reprisals and for the reason that they would see we are impotent and cannot help them.

They will pick off the other non-Muslim nations one at a time. It will be increasingly easier for them. They already hold Spain hostage. It doesn’t matter whether it was right or wrong for Spain to withdraw its troops from Iraq. Spain did it because the Muslim terrorists bombed their train and told them to withdraw the troops. Anything else they want Spain to do will be done. Spain is finished!

The next will probably be France. Our one hope on France is that they might see the light and realize that if we don’t win, they are finished too in that they can’t resist the Muslim terrorists without us. However, it may already be too late for France. France is already 20% Muslim and fading fast!

If we lose the war, our production, income, exports and way of life will all vanish as we know it. After losing who would trade or deal with us if they were threatened by the Muslims.

If we can’t stop the Muslims, how could anyone else?

The Muslims fully know what is riding on this war and therefore are completely committed to winning at any cost. We better know it too and be likewise committed to winning at any cost.

Why do I go on at such lengths about the results of losing? Simple. Until we recognize the costs of losing, we cannot unite and really put 100% of our thoughts and efforts into winning. And, it is going to take that 100% effort to win.

So, how can we lose the war?

Again, the answer is simple. We can lose the war by “imploding.” That is, defeating ourselves by refusing to recognize the enemy and their purpose, and really digging in and lending full support to the war effort. If we are united, there is no way that we can lose. If we continue to be divided, there is no way that we can win!

Let me give you a few examples of how we simply don’t comprehend the life and death seriousness of this situation.

President Bush selects Norman Mineta as Secretary of transportation. Although all of the terrorist attacks were committed by Muslim men between 17 and 40 years of age, Secretary Mineta refuses to allow profiling. Does that sound like we are taking this thing seriously? This is war! For the duration, we are going to have to give up some of the civil rights we have become accustomed to. We had better be prepared to lose some of our civil rights temporarily or we will most certainly lose all of them permanently.

And don’t worry that it is a slippery slope. We gave up plenty of civil rights during WWII, and immediately restored them after the victory and in fact added many more since then.

Do I blame President Bush or President Clinton before him?

No, I blame us for blithely assuming we can maintain all of our Political Correctness and all of our civil rights during this conflict and have a clean, lawful, honorable war. None of those words apply to war. Get them out of your head!

Some have gone so far in their criticism of the war and /or the Administration that it almost seems they would literally like to see us lose. I hasten to add that this isn’t because they are disloyal. It is because they just don’t recognize what losing means. Nevertheless, that conduct gives the impression to the enemy that we are divided and weakening. It concerns our friends and it does great damage to our cause.

Of more recent vintage, the uproar fueled by the politicians and media regarding the treatment of some prisoners of war, perhaps exemplifies best what I am saying. We have recently had an issue involving the treatment of a few Muslim prisoners of war by a small group of our military police. These are the type prisoners who just a few months ago were throwing their own people off buildings, cutting off their hands, cutting out their tongues and otherwise murdering their own people just for disagreeing with Saddam Hussein.

And just a few years ago these same type prisoners chemically killed 400,000 of their own people for the same reason. They are also the same type enemy fighters who recently were burning Americans and dragging their charred corpses through the streets of Iraq.

And still more recently, the same type enemy that was and is providing videos to all news sources internationally of the beheading of American prisoners they held.

Compare this with some of our press and politicians, who for several days have thought and talked about nothing else but the “humiliating” of some Muslim prisoners – not burning them, not dragging their charred corpses through the streets, not beheading them, but “humiliating” them.

Can this be for real?

The politicians and pundits have even talked of impeachment of the Secretary of Defense. If this doesn’t show the complete lack of comprehension and understanding of the seriousness of the enemy we are fighting, the life and death struggle we are in and the disastrous results of losing this war, nothing can.

To bring our country to a virtual political standstill over this prisoner issue makes us look like Nero playing his fiddle as Rome burned – totally oblivious to what is going on in the real world. Neither we nor any other country can survive this internal strife. Again I say this does not mean that some of our politicians or media people are disloyal. It simply means that they are absolutely oblivious to the magnitude of the situation we are in and into which the Muslim terrorists have been pushing us for many years.

Remember, the Muslim terrorists stated goal is to kill all infidels! That translates into ALL non-Muslims – not just in the United States, but throughout the world.

We are the last bastion of defense.

We have been criticized for many years as being ‘arrogant.’ That charge is valid in at least one respect. We are arrogant in that we believe that we are so good, powerful and smart, that we can win the hearts and minds of all those who attack us, and that with both hands tied behind our back we can defeat anything bad in the world!

We can’t

If we don’t recognize this, our nation as we know it will not survive and no other free country in the world will survive if we are defeated.

And finally, name any Muslim countries throughout the world that allow freedom of speech, freedom of thought, freedom of religion, freedom of the press, equal rights for anyone – let alone everyone, equal status or any status for women or that have been productive in one single way that contributes to the good of the world.

This has been a long way of saying that we must be united on this war or we will be equated in the history books to the self-inflicted fall of the Roman Empire. If, that is, the Muslim leaders will allow history books to be written or read.

If we don’t win this war right now, keep a close eye on how the Muslims take over France in the next 5 years or less. They will continue to increase the Muslim population of France and continue to encroach little by little on the established French traditions. The French will be fighting among themselves, over what should or should not be done which will continue to weaken them and keep them from any united resolve. Doesn’t that sound eerily familiar?

Democracies don’t have their freedoms taken away from them by some external military force. Instead, they give their freedoms away, politically correct piece by politically correct piece.

And they are giving those freedoms away to those who have shown worldwide that they abhor freedom and will not apply it to you or even to themselves once they are in power.

They have universally shown that when they have taken over they then start brutally killing each other over who will be the few who control the masses. Will we ever stop hearing from the politically correct about the “peaceful Muslims”?

I close on a hopeful note, by repeating what I said above. If we are united there is no way that we can lose. I hope now after the election the factions in our country will begin to focus on the critical situation we find ourselves in and will unite to save our country. It is your future we are talking about! Do whatever you can to preserve it.

After reading the above, we all must do this not only for ourselves, but our children, our grandchildren, our country and the world.

Whether Democrat or Republican, conservative or liberal and that includes the politicians and media of our country and the free world!”

UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL!

IF YOU BELIEVE THE ABOVE, PASS THIS ON

You dumbed down people. You need to look at world news and not the big brother media like Fox, cbs,cnn,msnbc,…etc .The American government has done nothing but take our rights in the name of 911…. We are no safer but less free. You think because you are American that makes you superior. Well the rest of the world don’t see it that way. They see a big history of America forcing there will on other countries. If you think the world government puppets such as Rick Perry( Al Gores campaign adviser, and supports carbon taxes scam) Or maybe Newt who supports The Obama Care Scam. Or any one running for president who is backed by the the world banking cartels then you need to study history. Iran might make some threats but they have not acted on there threats. Iran is surrounded by countries that have nukes so of course they want a nuke. America would not be the big mighty nation with out its nuclear arsenal. America cant easily, at there will invade other countries if that country has nuclear weapons. So of course all other countries want a nuclear bomb. Pakistan is a nuclear power and the American government just gave them another $500,000,000,000 billion While at the same time Pakistan is wanting all US personnel out of there country. It might be hard for Americans to believe, but America Is one nation in a world of many nations, We have no right to force our way into other countries for the world bankers gain. Ron Paul is not perfect but he is better than the World Banker backed Perry or Gingrich And if Ron Paul was President you can be certain Billions of dollars will stop being sent to Pakistan and the Palestinians. And yes the Obamas administration has sent hundreds of millions of dollars to the Palestinians for aid. Look it up before you claim I’m full of crap… Every one should study the governments own documents and the constitution. Wake up ! Drudgereport .com will tell you what big brother corporate media will not.

what people must realize is that we have all been programed to fear. it is this fear that will ultimately strip us of our basic human rights. say no to Paul IF you want a police state and new world order. sad truth.

It would be much more productive for you to state facts supporting your views instead of ad hominem attacks and unsupported opinions.

If you were to review the history of US activity in the middle east, you would understand that our continued military activity there is the cause of the animosity towards us.

Here are the facts about the historical US relationship with Iran

Number of Americans Killed in Iranian-Supported Attacks on US = 0

Number of Iranians Killed in US-Supported Attacks on Iran = Between 500,000 and 1,000,000

Number of Times Iran has Overthrown the US’s Democratically-Elected Government = 0

Number of Times the US has Overthrown the Iran’s Democratically-Elected Government = 1

Number of Countries Invaded by Iran over the Last Century = 0

Number of Countries Invaded by the US over the Last Century = 10 (Not Including WWII)

Timeline of US-Iran Relations

1953 – Under orders from President Eisenhower, the CIA organized a military coup that overthrew Iran’s democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh. Britain, unhappy that Iran nationalized its oil industry, came up with the idea for the coup and pressed the United States to mount a joint operation to remove Mossadeqh.

1953 to 1979 – Following the coup, the U.S installed Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi , and the thriving democracy that existed in Iran was crushed. The Shah led 25 years of tyrannical rule (supported by the CIA) that resulted in the killing of thousands of Iranians who opposed the U.S. puppet government. On the economic front, the Shah denationalized Iran’s oil industry, 60% of which went to American firms.

1979 U.S.-backed Shah of Iran forced to leave the country after widespread demonstrations and strikes. Islamic religious leader Ayatollah Khomeini returns from exile and takes effective power. Sixty-six hostages taken by students at the U.S. embassy in Tehran. The students justified taking the hostages as retaliation for the admission of the Shah into the U.S., and demanded the Shah be returned to Iran for a trial. The new Iranian regime believed the Shah was in the U.S. so that the U.S. could carry out another coup d’etat in Iran; the U.S. claimed he had come there only to seek medical attention. The Shah was given refuge and Iranians demanded his extradition to Iran to face justice. The U.S. rejected Iran’s request and the hostage taking ensued. The hostage crisis at the U.S. embassy in Tehran lasted 444 days

1980 – Iraq invades neighboring Iran with the approval of the United States. The war lasts eight years and kills hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and Iranians. Iran suffered heavy casualties from Saddam’s chemical weapons, many of which were provided by the U.S.

1981 – Last 52 U.S. hostages freed in January after intense diplomatic activity. Their release comes a few hours after U.S. President Jimmy Carter leaves office. They had been held for 444 days.

1982 to 1983 – As Iranian forces gained the upper hand on the battlefield with Iraq, the U.S. launched another covert operation to arm and aid Saddam. It began clandestinely to supply Saddam with satellite intelligence on Iran’s deployments. Weapons were also sent via CIA fronts in Chile and Saudi Arabia directly to Baghdad. Between 1986 and 1989, some seventy-three transactions took place that included bacterial cultures to make weapons-grade anthrax, advanced computers, and equipment to repair jet engines and rockets. Iraqi President Saddam Hussein greets Donald Rumsfeld, then special envoy of President Ronald Reagan, in Baghdad on December 20, 1983.

1985 to 1986 – Iran-Contra Affair: U.S. holds secret talks with Iran and makes weapons shipments, allegedly in exchange for Iranian assistance in releasing U.S. hostages in Lebanon. With revelations that profits were illegally channeled to Nicaraguan rebels, this creates the biggest crisis of Ronald Reagan’s presidency.

1987 – Following the mining of a U.S. Navy frigate, U.S. forces engage in series of encounters with Iranian naval forces, including strikes on Gulf oil platforms. The engagement was code named “Operation Praying Mantis”. The battle, the largest between surface forces since World War II, sank two Iranian warships and as many as six armed speedboats. The Iranian Frigate, IS Alvand, attacked by U.S. Navy forces

1988 – On patrol in the Persian Gulf, the USS Vincennes shot down an Iranian passenger jet that it had mistaken for a hostile Iranian fighter aircraft. U.S. Navy Captain Will C. Rogers III ordered a single missile fired from his warship, which hit its target and killed all 290 people aboard the commercial Airbus.

The US has been keeping Israel from taking Iran out. If Ron Paul were pres he would not interfere and Israel would do what they did before and bomb Iran and take out the threat.

War propaganda. All of it. Paul seems to be completely right on this one. I’ve been saying for years that the most disgusting thing going on in this country is the belief that Iran and Palestine are a real threat. This causes people that get all their info from the mainstream media (which is a majority of Americans) to believe that out support for Israel is necessary for our own national defense. It’s not and it’s based on a lie.

Hello, i believe that i noticed you visited my weblog thus i got here to return the choose?.I’m trying to to find issues to improve my web site!I assume its adequate to make use of some of your ideas!!

I personally have a lot of respect for Mr. Ron Paul and I know he is a man of good will and I learned a lot about values of liberty by reading his article : “A republic, if you can keep it”, but as an Iranian who lives in Iran I strongly oppose his foreign policy toward Iran. I heard him somewhere saying that America should offer friendship to Iran instead of sanctions. This alone shows that he doesn’t know Iran very well. The Iranian revolution was born with hatred of western values and especially USA as most influential western country. The Iranian regime is born with willingness to destroy USA as part of its body.
I think neither giving friendship to Iran nor a military attack would help, the tougher sanctions and smarter ones will probably be the best shot for the United States. You maybe ask why I’m suggesting sanctioning a country that I live in, because I hate Iranian regime as much as you do.
