Upping the Ante, Increasing the Angst
Never one to relax tensions, seeming to revel in the shock waves she induces in her detractors, Iran is proud to once again announce internationally-unsettling advances in her search for more elaborate and technologically advanced instruments of death. So much for a theology of peace, the gravitas of a kind and benevolent Allah.But then the world can also thank the United Nations for its delayed reaction to the threat of one nation demeaning the existence of another and within its hallowed halls ringing with the promises of equality and peace and the safeguarding of human rights, withholding censure when Iran threatens the existence of the State of Israel.
Belatedly, and under great pressure from the nations of the world upon whom the United Nations is most highly dependent for the monetary wherewithal that guarantees her existence, a broader censure was mounted on Iran for its illegal - under UN conventions - aspirations to successfully create nuclear weaponry.
In the interim, the announcement that Iran has developed a new long-range missile system, capable of reaching within Israel, and of making its mark also upon U.S. bases in the Middle East. Their gloating goal is to deliver the message time and again Israel's vulnerability against Iran's intentions in achieving a final solution become more and more imminent, if not possible.
Iran has more than enough company in her dedication to the obliteration of Israel. Syria, it now appears is concluding negotiations with Russia for the purchase of anti-aircraft missile systems whose capacity it is anticipated will more than adequately prove their value in shooting down Israeli warplanes.
Oh, and here's another message from the Lebanese military kindly alerting the world that Syria's urgent request to Moscow will also be met, with the provision of anti-aircraft systems which Syria plans to send along to Hezbollah. The new missiles are anticipated by year's end, it would appear, consolidating the duo's defence system against a tiny nation they are dedicated to destroying.
Kind of arse-backwards, isn't it? That the aggressors, promising annihilation of a neighbour, are frantically arming themselves in defence against the existence of that neighbour?
