Where Iran- U.S. conflict is heading?

In response to fellow blogger, Theroxylander in Flame asking me to give my opinion on recent events in Iran, I am writing my first post in English. I should mention that it is my personal opinion and by no way I am a representative of an evolving society like Iran.

Dear friend! It is obvious that Iranian mostly want peace but at least in my life time there has been always treat of war and once it happened and left us with 500 Billion dollar damage (Iran - Iraq war). By this I want to emphasis that we are neither terrorists nor friend of evil! We want peace like other wise and civilized citizen of the world.

About recent comment of Ahmadinejad, I personally think it is neither practical nor rational to wipe off a country. Although there has been serious concerns about foundation of Israel, but it exists and majority of Arab countries and Palestinian have accepted this right and I am astonished what our politicians say. Are we Arab or more willing than others to solve a problem that they don’t assume it a problem anymore?
Â
About Nuclear power, I think it is the right of every nation to use this technology simply because it is very cheep and clean. At the same time I don’t see any point using this energy as a mass destruction weapon. Right now there are a lot of countries who use nuclear power as a clean and cheep source of energy and at least 10 countries including 3 in our neighborhood have Atomic bomb (India, Pakistan and Israel) and no need to remind that U.S has been the only one who used Atomic Bomb against others (Japan). I have seen some comments in blogs saying that stop this procedure by force and I should tell them, think twice, politics is very complicated. Solving this problem by dirty hands?

So what is all about? I say it is all about oil. The project has started form 9/11 and probably one of the core elements of this project is controlling Iran. Controlling oil possibly means having leverage against E.U, China…. Personally I think this procedure is inevitable and Iran will be attacked by U.S and I don’t see much difference between Republican and Democrat party when it is a foreign issue and it seems Ahmadinejad has given a nice excuse to U.S and Israel but let me say I personally don’t welcome American soldiers and I see many Iranians have the same attitude.
Â
About U.N. What else do we have as a unique way of settling problems or arising issues between nations. For that commenter thinking about bypassing U.N, I should mention that using force against other nations is only in favor of some corporate not even that nation itself, and it shows more than ever we live in a big jungle which its name is “world�.
