KESKUSTELU

Iranin valtion ja iranilaisten mielipiteet eivät näytä kulkevan samoja latuja:

"Flouting the official government message of support for Palestinian militants, they chanted, “No to Gaza and Lebanon, I will give my life for Iran.”
...
When government men shouted “Death to Israel” through loudspeakers, protesters derisively chanted “Death to Russia” in response. Many opposition supporters are angry about Russia’s quick acceptance of Mr. Ahmadinejad’s electoral victory.
...
Later, Basij militia members tried to attack Mr. Khatami and Mr. Karroubi, but defenders pushed them back, opposition Web sites reported.
...
The opposition leaders raised tensions when they leveled accusations that some protesters were tortured and raped in prison. The rape accusations have been especially embarrassing for the government, which has denied them while acknowledging that some prisoners were tortured.

On tavallaan säälittävää, että tuhansien vuosien historiaa säilyttänyt Iranin kansa kärsii tällaisesta sivistymättömästä ja moraalittomasta hallinnosta. Islamilainen vallankumous on vitsi, huono sellainen. Se ei ole kyennyt mitenkään parantamaan iranilaisten elinolosuhteita. Koska demokratiaa maassa ei ole, uusi vallankumous on ainoa vaihtoehto.

++++ Niinpä. Iranilaiset ovatkin sitä kertoneet kuinka länsimaille ei kelvannut aikaan demokratia. Siksipä he järjestivät vallankaappauksen Iranissa ja demokraattisesti valtaan valittu syrjäytettiin. Tätä Obama pyysi anteeksi, mutta virhe on vaikea korjata.

US giant bunker-buster bomb project rushed since Iran's Qom site discovered

DEBKAfile Special Report

September 27, 2009, 4:08 PM (GMT+02:00)
Estimated location of Qom enrichment plant

Estimated location of Qom enrichment plant

The Pentagon has brought forward to December 2009 the target-date for producing the first 15-ton super bunker-buster bomb (GBU-57A/B) Massive Ordinance Penetrator, which can reach a depth of 60.09 meters underground before exploding. DEBKAfile's military sources report that top defense agencies and air force units were also working against the clock to adapt the bay of a B2a Stealth bomber for carrying and delivering the bomb.

The Pentagon has ordered the number of bombs rolling off the production line increased from four to ten - a rush job triggered in May by the discovery that Iran was hiding a second uranium enrichment plant under a mountain near Qom - a discovery which prompted this week's international outcry.

Congress has since quietly inserted the necessary funding in the 2009 budget.

All this urgency indicates that the Obama administration has been preparing military muscle to back up the international condemnation of Iran's concealed nuclear bomb program, its sanctions threat and his willingness to join the negotiations with Iran opening on Oct. 1 in Geneva. Tehran may have to take into account a possible one-time surgical strike against its underground enrichment facility as a warning shot should its defiance continue. In particular, the world powers this week demanded that Iran open up all its nuclear facilities and programs to full and immediate international inspection. Failure to do so could bring forth further US military action.

According to our military sources, the earliest date for the accelerated Pentagon program to produce a super bunker buster bomb mounted on a stealth bomber is December 2009 or January 2010. This too is three years ahead of its original schedule.

Pressed into service are two US Air Force research centers for work on adapting the radar-evading stealth bomber to the giant bomb: the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright Patterson Air Force Base and the Munitions Directorate and Air Armament Center, both headquartered at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida.

Last month, DEBKAfile quoted Air Force Lt. Gen. Mark Shackelford as disclosing that the Pentagon had decided to accelerate the production of 10-12 giant bunker buster bombs in response to intelligence received of Iranian and North Korean underground nuclear plants.

Kummasti kuningatar mainitsi että Yhdysvallat, Britannia ja muut kapitalistimaat tukivat Khomeini mutta ei maininut että brittiläiset ja yhdysvaltalaiset tiedustelupalvelut (CIA) syrjäyttivät demokraattisesti valitun Mossadequn ja nosti shaahin valtaan.

Iranin oppositio jälleen kaduilla

Hallituksen vastustajat ovat ottaneet yhteen poliisin kanssa Teheranissa. Silminnäkijöiden mukaan poliisi on turvautunut kyynelkaasuun ja pamppuihin yrittäessään hajottaa tuhansien opposition kannattajien mielenosoituksen.

Montazeri, a senior cleric and defender of Iranian opposition, dies at 87
The grand ayatollah's death could further galvanize the protest movement.


State-controlled television carried minimal coverage of his death while reformist websites flooded the Internet with photographs of ongoing mourning ceremonies, minute-by-minute developments and remembrances. In the last months of his life, Montazeri offered religious approval to those opposing the government, urging fellow clergy to stand with the Iranian people just as it had in the face of all "oppressive" regimes.

"The regime has savagely suppressed million-strong protesters who were legally objecting to the election outcome," he wrote in September.

"The grand ayatollahs are well aware of their influence on the regime, and they know quite well the regime needs their approval for its legitimacy," he continued. "Their silence may give the wrong impression to people that the grand ayatollahs approve of what is underway."

Hussein Ali Montazerista annetaan lähes pyhimysmäinen kuva, vaikka kaveri oli kuitenkin mukana tässä moraalisesti kyseenalaisessa islamilaisessa kumouksessa. Mikään demokraatti ja humanisti Montazeri ei länsimaisessa mielessä ollut. Hän kuitenkin puolusti kansalaisten oikeuksia khomeinilaista mielivaltaa vastaan. Montazerista tuli viimeistään kuoltuaan vastarinnan symboli mullaheille ja Ahmadinejadille.

Väkivaltaa tuskin kukaan Iraniin toivoo, mutta nykyhallinnon mureneminen on toivottavaa.

Miten ihmeessä Iran ei saa viestintää kuriin? Luulisi että hallitus pystyisi sulkemaan netti- ja puhelinyhteydet ulkomaille ja maasta ei välittyisi mitään tietoa, kuvia tai twitter-viestejä mihinkään.

Lisäksi tiedustelupalvelun olisi periaatteessa helppo jäljittää twitteroijat jne. elektronisen tiedustelun keinoin ja pidättää nämä esivaltaa halveksuvat kapinalliset ainekset.
