Iran had better be prepared many suggest as bush might be ready to attack"¦bush advisors including musharaf have given him the advice that Iran might become too dangerous with nuclear power and that he better destroy them before that"¦since bush has little time left in power he might
go for it now rather than later"¦)

Some Bush advisers want Iran invaded

By Khalid Hasan

WASHINGTON: War against Iran is probable by the end of the Bush administration and it could begin in as little as three weeks, according to Chris Hedges, a former Middle East bureau chief for The New York Times.

Writing for the online liberal paper AfterNet, Hedges recalls that the Bush administration, claiming to be anointed by a Christian God to reshape the world, and especially the Middle East, defined Iraq, North Korea and Iran as "the Axis of Evil". He notes that Elliott Abrams, who helped orchestrate the contra war in Nicaragua, now handles the Middle East for the National Security Council. The man knows nothing about the Middle East and sees the
world through the binary lens of good and evil, us and them, the forces of darkness and the forces of light. It is this "strange, twilight mentality" that now grips most of the civilian planners who are pushing the US towards a crisis of epic proportions.

Hedges says, "These men advocate a doctrine of permanent war, a doctrine which "¦ is a slight corruption of Leon Trotsky's doctrine of permanent revolution. These two revolutionary doctrines serve the same function, to
intimidate and destroy all those classified as foreign opponents, to create permanent instability and fear and to silence domestic critics who challenge leaders in a time of national crisis. It works. The citizens of the US, slowly being stripped of their civil liberties, are being herded sheep-like, once again, over a cliff." However, he warns, this war will be different and catastrophic, ushering in the "apocalyptic nightmares spun out in the dark, fantastic visions of the Christian right".

Hedges says Pakistan, India and Israel refused to sign the NPT and developed nuclear weapons programmes in secret. Israel now has an estimated 400 to 600 nuclear weapons. It was from these countries that Iran learnt a lesson.

Those in Washington, who advocate a war against Iran, believe they can hit about 1,000 sites inside that country to wipe out nuclear production and cripple the 850,000-man Iranian army. They don't draw a lesson from southern
Lebanon where the Israeli air campaign not only failed to break Hezbollah but also united most Lebanese behind the militant group. Israel will pay the biggest price if Iran is attacked, Hedges adds.

JERUSALEM Israel's ambassador to the United Nations urged the Security Council on Sunday to take tough measures against Iran for its nuclear program in the wake of North Korea declaring it had tested a nuclear bomb.

"The international community should learn the lessons of what occurred in North Korea," Danny Gillerman told army radio. "North Korea was only the preview. Iran will be the feature film, which, if no one takes serious action, will be projected throughout the whole world."

Gillerman called for "much harder sanctions to be imposed on a demented Iranian regime that seeks to destroy a UN member state, and totally denies the Holocaust, while preparing to perpetrate a second Holocaust."

But, he added, "I do not anticipate more significant and firmer sanctions against Iran than those being considered for North Korea."

The Iranian Foreign Ministry said Saturday that Western threats to impose sanctions were part of a "psychological war" and that the Islamic Republic was more determined than ever to pursue peaceful nuclear technology.

Barring a change of heart in Tehran, the European Union's 25 foreign ministers want to agree at a meeting Tuesday to ask the UN Security Council to impose sanctions, Foreign Minister Frank- Walter Steinmeier of Germany said Saturday.

The case was sent back to the Security Council after Iran failed to halt uranium enrichment, a process that the West fears it will use to develop nuclear weapons. Tehran denies any such plans.

Iran has shrugged off the threat of sanctions in the past. Analysts say that, as the world's fourth-largest oil exporter, it may feel it can cope with the modest penalties likely to be imposed.

Mohammad Ali Hosseini, a spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, said that Iran's proposal for other countries to invest in its nuclear program was "still on the table."

"We have received offers from the other side regarding our proposal about the consortium on uranium enrichment and we are studying the offers but we haven't made a decision about who we are going to work with," Hosseini said in comments broadcast on state television.

Iran has said this would be a way for others to monitor its atomic work to prove it was peaceful.

On Iranian state television's Web site, he was also quoted as saying that the United States was to blame for North Korea's decision to stage a nuclear test because of its "unilateral policies in global issues."

Iran has said it opposes nuclear proliferation and, in previous statements, has called for nuclear disarmament by all countries.
