Hiding the bodies Posted: Monday, September 13, 2004
Next stop Iran The extraordinary power of the US was again on full display on Sept 11 when France, Germany and Britain simultaneously agreed to a "November dead line for Iran to dispel concern that it has a covert atom bomb program, according to a draft resolution." (Reuters) This means that Iran, who has already been cleared by the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) for not having processed enriched uranium (even though that, in itself, is not forbidden under the NPT) must "prove a negative." It must somehow prove it does not have something it does not have. Sound familiar? Of course, it is precisely the same trap that was set (successfully) for Saddam Hussein, who had no WMD and who eventually agreed to all of the terms of intrusive inspection regimen that were demanded of him.
