Muslim factor worrisome in Iran's nuclear stance

America and the United Nations shouldn’t be surprised at Iran’s obstinacy at its behests to stop its production of uranium necessary in building a nuclear bomb. Iran will not yield to anyone’s dictates, because it is not Muslim to do so. How different is Iran’s behavior from the terrorist Al Qaeda but in one respect. Both leaders Bin Laden and Ahmadijenad are displaying the typical Muslim balls and galls avoiding a civilized protocol to negotiate.
From the attitude, the world would need to heed the overt signs of Iran’s ambitions to become an invincible and a headstrong Muslim nation. A nation full of hatred for America, Iran, imaginatively possessing a nuclear bomb would be like a mythical dragon blowing out fire from its mouth that could scorch the earth.
The great hatred emanates from that point in history in 1953, when the U.S. ousted from power an Iranian leader, the democratically minded former Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh. Revered like a saint for his espousing reforms to clean the government of its crooked military officials, Mossadegh embodied the country’s fervor for nationalism. After having usurped the British owned petroleum industry, Mossadegh successfully nationalized it. With the help of America, the British regained control, for another 60 years. Mossadegh was arrested and placed under house arrest. He died at age 84.
Through America’s support, the Peacock Throne of Mohammad Shah Pahlevi was established. A government that was openly friendly with America, hence, called its most staunch ally in the Middle East, The Shah of Iran has allowed America unlimited access to build military facilities to stymie Communism and Russia’s hegemonic stance in Iran. But 25-years of abusive, excessive, and too westernized government, the Shah was eventually toppled down by the rise of a cleric government that gave prominence to the Islamofascist Ayatollah Khomeini. Thus, Muslimhood was reverted to the people. To the Iranians America is a country so-called Evil Empire, a Soddom and Gomorrah-like nation, it is feared by Iran as a harbinger of a depraved culture, loathed by the Muslims as corrosive to their culture and their women for espousing the pernicious women rights.
Iran’s entry into the nuclear power field was guaranteed in the Non-Proliferation Treaty in the 60s, with the encouragement by America. Later, some American leaders, Clinton and Bush, were raising their eyebrows when Iran showed increasing interest in rebuilding its nuclear programs having been badly damaged during the war with Iraq. Awashed in liquid gold, why would Iran suddenly have interest in producing uranium was the curious question. But Iran has passed the test, convincing nations that their nuclear power program will be used for peaceful purposes, as a diversified energy source of a constant supply of electricity to the rapidly increasing Iranian population.
Resolute is Iran’s position to proceed with their uranium production, now suspected to be used to produce a nuclear weapon, in much like North Korea’s motive that is to obtain a nuclear bomb to use for its paranoid superpower ambitions while sowing terrorism.
Iran’s nuclear ambition poses a double jeopardy in the face of the present world political situation. Muslim terrorism is in its height of uproarious state, and Iran in its past have demonstrated its own version of terrorism when it captured the American embassy personnel in the late 70s. Farfetched in result, it cost Jimmy Carter’s reelection bid. That anger against America has not subsided a bit, palpable in its present intractable stance.
America’s present war in Iraq has neither served as a cause of concern for Iran, but perhaps as a source of kindling anger against America, even though a recent past war with Iraq in the 80s has isolated Iran from America’s favor. Not that it has become a neutral country, when its own brethren in religion, Iraq, a neighbor, is being raped and pulverized by the American forces into complete surrender. Iran, like an enraged, crazy scientist is pounding away in solitude, busily, fully concentrated in perfecting its baby machine into a monster of the future.
At the heart of the controversy is that Muslim hatred of America. As a nation, Iran remains a cleric, even more with the election of Mahmud Ahmadinejad, a young politician, casually in western get up. At the podium, he chants impassioned speeches, rich in defiant gestures, reminiscent of Hitler. A traditional Muslim, he has banned western music to air in the country, and bluntly defies any nation’s approaches to discussions regarding their nuclear programs. Ahmadinejad is willing to take the country to the end regardless of what it takes, which is typical Muslim bravado. The civilized world would need to be vigilant against Iran securing a brand new mindset of power, no longer on oil as a weapon to use to bargain, but a more catastrophic machine a nuclear bomb.
