Bar Iran from nuclear arms to avoid World War III: Bush

WASHINGTON : President George W. Bush on Wednesday warned Iran must be barred from nuclear weapons to avoid the prospect of "World War III," and dismissed suggestions of a US-Russia rift on the crisis.

Bush intervened hours after Russian President Vladimir Putin made a new proposal to end the nuclear crisis as he met Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for landmark talks in Tehran.

Iran's top nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani meanwhile revealed he would hold new talks with EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana on Tuesday in Rome to search for a solution to the atomic standoff.

Bush upped US rhetoric at a White House news conference, warning the world must do more to isolate the Islamic Republic.

"We've got a leader in Iran who has announced that he wants to destroy Israel," Bush said.

"So I've told people that, if you're interested in avoiding World War III, it seems like you ought to be interested in preventing them from having the knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon."

Iranian officials said Putin put forward a proposal to break the deadlock over Iran's nuclear programme during his exhausting and historic visit, but gave no further details.

Earlier, Putin and Ahmadinejad shook hands and smiled, as they met for talks in Tehran.

"I'm looking forward to getting President Putin's read-out from the meeting," Bush said.

"The thing I'm interested in is whether or not he continues to harbour the same concerns that I do," Bush added.

Putin also held talks with Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and was quoted by state television as hoping for a "new page" in Moscow's relations with the US foe.

Last week, Putin said after talks with President Nicolas Sarkozy of France in Moscow that Russia had no information Iran was trying to make a nuclear bomb.

"I look forward to having him clarify those (comments) Bush said.

"Because when I visited with him, he (said he) understands that it's in the world's interests to make sure that Iran does not have the capacity to make a nuclear weapon."

The Russian president also called during a summit with Caspian leaders for any prospect of foreign military action against Iran to be ruled out.

Washington has repeatedly refused to take the military option off the table, fuelling speculation on the chances of a US strike, should diplomacy ultimately break down.

Only hours after Putin left Iran, its arch foe Israel announced that Prime Minister Ehud Olmert would visit Russia on Thursday for what one official described as a "last-minute, urgent meeting."

"The two intend to discuss a series of regional issues, including the peace process with the Palestinians, Iran's threat and attempt to acquire nuclear weapons, and developments in the region," Olmert's office said.

Israel is one of the leading campaigners against Iran's nuclear ambitions along with its chief ally the United States, but is widely regarded as the Middle East region's sole if undeclared nuclear armed state.

Despite having failed to find a breakthrough in several meetings over the past year, Larijani said he was set for the new talks with Solana in Rome on Tuesday.

The key sticking point remains Iran's refusal to suspend uranium enrichment, which the West fears could be diverted towards making a nuclear bomb.

Iran insists it only wants to generate electricity and has consistently refused to budge an inch on its right to the full nuclear fuel cycle but has been slapped with two sets of UN sanctions for its defiance.

Solana must report to major world powers Britain, France, Germany, Russia, China and the United States before mid-November on Iran's willingness to give up uranium enrichment in exchange for political and trade incentives.

Bush also defended his personal style of diplomacy with the Russian leader, against claims his approach downplayed what critics see as an increasingly authoritarian style of government in the Kremlin.

"I believe good diplomacy requires good relations at the leadership level," Bush said, adding the approach meant he could bring up contentious issues without rupturing state-to-state relations. - AFP/de

No nuclear energy or arms to Iran of course; they are too danger specially to the economical and political interests of the western world...

And THIS is not danger then?

A Genetic Disaster

October 17, 2007

On a recent episode of Out There TV, we interviewed Dr. Gary Null, who just released a documentary called "Gulf War Syndrome". Even as the pundits cried out indignantly about the conditions at Walter Reed, nobody addressed the larger problem … that tens of thousands of veterans have been injured, not just by bullets and bombs, but by the very air they breathe in the war zones. As is poignantly and graphically shown in Null’s documentary, the U.S. administration is using nuclear weapons in its war of terror. Yes, it’s true. We, who invaded a sovereign nation allegedly because of its vast stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction, are blithely using exactly such weapons.

Of course this is illegal according to every convention to which we are a party, but talking about legality misses the point. The crisis about to be precipitated by the indiscriminate use of nuclear armaments against the basically defenseless inhabitants of at least two countries will affect all of humanity. Its scope can barely be imagined.

Depleted Uranium, which is in no way, shape or form depleted of its ability to kill and maim, was in the so-called "smart" bombs used during the invasion and is still used daily in the artillery and shells used during the occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq. The half-life of Uranium-238 is 4.5 billion years, the age of the earth. And, as Uranium-238 decays into daughter radioactive products, in four steps before turning into lead, it continues to release more radiation at each step. There is no way to turn it off, and there is no way to clean it up. It meets the US Government’s own definition of Weapons of Mass Destruction.

Depleted Uranium is the by-product of nuclear weapon and energy creation, and there is so much of it, it is actually cheaper than ice cream, according to an expert on Dr. Null’s DVD. Because there is such a glut of this material, the weapons manufacturers get it practically free. Wow – what a deal. Dispose of toxic waste by aiming it at civilians in what someone has classified as a terrorist state and you’ve killed two birds with one stone. No, actually, it’s much more than two birds. It’s more like all the birds. It’s the weapon that keeps on killing. Forever.

Do not for one minute think that this radioactive angel of death will stay within the boundaries of Iraq or Afghanistan, and that it is only the children of those terrible "Muslim fanatics" that will bear the burden of our nuclear holocaust. Cancer rates among children have increased by 400 per cent in Iraq, but they are not the only ones with terrible tumors and wasted limbs.

Cancers of every kind are increasingly common in soldiers returning from the Iraq war, but the effects of DU are far more insidious than cancer. The genetic structure of those exposed to it can actually be altered, and when these men father children, those children are at risk of being born with terrible mutations. Many have been born without arms or legs, with one eye, or none.

Where the wind blows, so too blows the DU dust, and it knows no borders. The air, the water and the soil in Iraq are so irradiated that the whole country should be vacated, but the problem extends far beyond the Middle East. In Australia and England, readings have shown increased levels of background radiation. We can only imagine what’s going on in neighboring nations downwind.

By deploying this weapon, we have forever altered the genetic structure of not only the human race, but of all life on earth. This travesty has been completely ignored by mainstream media in favor of nonsense about spoiled pop stars and self-aggrandizing politicians. The military has refused to acknowledge its part in what could well be the genetic destruction of the human race and has largely left its own American military victims to suffer and die without compassion or treatment. And of course the current presidential candidates have completely denied any knowledge of this issue.

But we cannot let this rest. We have to do something. We must join with Dr. Null, Dr. Doug Rokke, Leuren Moret and many others who are doing everything they can to put an end to this. I am imploring everyone reading this column –educate yourself. Watch Dr. Null’s documentary, "Gulf War Syndrome". (You can find the link on the Out There TV web site). Read Dr. Rokke’s and Leuren Moret’s papers on the subject, then, get involved. Call, write, e-mail, camp on the doorstep of Congress if you have to, but make our representatives put a stop to the war and the use of these illegal weapons. Force them to look after the American, Iraqi, Afghani and all other victims of Depleted Uranium poisoning.

We cannot turn away from this truth. We cannot sit comfortably in our living rooms, blissfully ignorant of the fact that we, each and every one of us, are responsible for the potential demise of the human race. E.T. is not going to beam us up out of this, and we cannot entrust the continued existence of the species to men who are so crazed by power and greed that they cannot see they are forever destroying the very planet they covet.

Salaamalikum,

I tell you, they think every Muslim country has "nuclear weapons" when the U.S. and many other Western countries has nuclear weapons themselves. You seem them occupying and destroying Iraqi land, for what - nuclear weapons???

If I was a Muslim country I would definitely arm my countrymen and build nuclear weapons because you never know if they will accuse you and attack you! You have a right to defend yourself from these hypocrites.
