Starting off with a speech from Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian nuclear disarmament summit kicked off today with 14 foreign ministers, 10 other deputies, and an undisclosed number of other representatives. All told, some 60 nations and several international groups were represented.
The conference, designed as an alternative to the Obama Administration’s summit from earlier this week, sought to focus on the dual issues of nuclear weapon disarmament and urging more international respect for the spreading of civilian nuclear technology to members of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
Both issues are of considerable import to the Iranian government, which has for years faced an ever growing amount of sanctions and threats of invasion over its civilian nuclear program, and accusations that it has designs on atomic weapons, something the government has vehemently denied.
The expectation is that the summit will culminate with a “road map” calling for the total elimination of all nuclear weapon arsenals on the planet. This may be of limited value, however, as not every nuclear weapons state will be in attendance.
Nuclear Energy for All, Nuclear Weapons for None! If Obama were a real champion of world peace and deserving of his "Nobel Peace Prize" the statement at the beginning of this comment would have come out of his mouth. Instead those words were the motto of Iran's very own Nuclear Security Summit, in which not 46 countries were represented like Obama's, but rather, 60 countries.
As long as Israel is given a no questions asked green light by the UN to do what it wants, when it wants, and how it wants concerning its own nuclear arsenal, who can realistically expect Iran to cave in and destroy its nuclear ambitions, whether they be for civil use or for weaponry?
Nuclear Energy for All, Nuclear Weapons for None! If Obama were a real champion of world peace, and thereby deserving of his Nobel Peace Prize, the words at the beginning of this comment would have been expressed by him at his Nuclear Security Summit. Instead, however, those words were served as the motto of Iran's recent Nuclear Security Summit in which, not 46 nations were represented like in Obama's summit, but rather, 60 nations.
LMAO at how the 'media' was chalk-full of happy talk earlier this week regarding new sanctions against Iran. Front page 'news' and all that. But when Brazil FM Celso Amorim had the gall to state that an 'affinity' exists between Iran and Brazil, China and India – poof! – no more story. Gone without mention. Heaven forbid that anything less than universal 'outrage' over Iran might get some ink.
I think it's become apparent that ALL countries in the Middle East NEED a nuclear arsenal to protect themselves from attack by Israel. Whether it's threats against Syria yesterday, against Iran for the last ten years, or promises to once again invade Lebanon, the war pigs know no other language.
God Bless America.
I don't understand the last sentence here. Limited value? The value of the conference is, while Putin bellows about a multi-polar world, people like Ahmadinejad (not an admirable person, but that's irrelevant to this point) and Evo Morales are trying to actually DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. That is the value, and it's not a limited value, in that it's a value limited only by the narrow vision of many countries who are so afraid to even appear for a moment to buck US hegemony that they fear involving themselves. Also, I think it's notable that Iran isn't just sitting around waiting to be attacked by the US and Israel. Why must we dismiss any attempt by any other country to show leadership as some kind of bravado? Isn't that exactly what they should be doing?
I hope the Iranian leadership be taken serously and other peace loving nations follow up on it so we can have a world with no nuclear weapons by the way iranians are leader in championing the
right of humanity(read CYRUS CYLENDER,RUMIE,SADIE) even in UN building there is poem by
an Iranian poet that says"all humans are member of one another and when one is in pain the rest will be in pain too,so problem in that part of the world is GENOCIDE of Palestenian by Israel not Iranian Nucke,this is only to cover up this crime which is supported by US,UK,and others
US will suffer ..again if they feel to attack iran..bcz this world is for all not for US as a leader of all..and what ever he thinks will be followed..so iran is the only one how is defying the US leadership..keep it up iran every one with you….
US ..go to hell and first try to correct your moral grounds ..all womes in us are like prostitutes.. firt try that every single boy or girl is from a single father not from many.. bcz of that every one is like " harami"….
hey……don't fill your soul with hate……..are you sure all womes in us are like prostitutes? all?
…. most people of the world are (were) peace lovers…..hate wounds your soul………watch out
See what Iran did? They should be disarmed immediately!
