Iran and Washington’s Hidden Hand By ESAM AL-AMIN
Only weeks after the September 11, 2001, attacks, Charles Krauthammer, the Washington Post columnist and mouthpiece of the neoconservatives, revealed the target list of the Bush administration as it set out on its post-9/11 war footing. The list included six nations: Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Libya, and the Palestinian Authority. While the priority allotted to Afghanistan and subsequently Iraq was not in dispute, the remaining order was in flux.
Israel was given a free hand in dealing with the Palestinian Authority (PA). President George W. Bush completely shunned and isolated PA President Yasser Arafat, until he died under siege in November 2004. Former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was allowed to use brutal military tactics to crush the Al-Aqsa intifada, reoccupying much of the West Bank, and setting up hundreds of military checkpoints devastating Palestinian life and what remained of the PA.

Why Iraq is Now the Most Corrupt Country on the Planet By PATRICK COCKBURN
Iraq is the world’s premier kleptomaniac state. According to Transparency International the only countries deemed more crooked than Iraq are Somalia and Myanmar, while Haiti and Afghanistan rank just behind. In contrast to Iraq, which enjoys significant oil revenues, none of these countries have much money to steal.

How the U.S. Has Secretly Backed Pakistan’s Nuclear Program From Day One By ANDREW COCKBURN
“If the worst, the unthinkable, were to happen,” Hillary Clinton recently told Fox News, “and this advancing Taliban encouraged and supported by Al Qaeda and other extremists were to essentially topple the government … then they would have keys to the nuclear arsenal of Pakistan.” Many will note that the extremists posing this unthinkable prospect were set up in business by the U.S. in the first place. Very well buried is the fact that the nuclear arsenal that must not be allowed to fall into the hands of our former allies has been itself the object of U.S. encouragement over the years and is to this very day in receipt of crucial U.S. financial assistance and technical support.

Have the Neocons and Israel Won? - The U.S. Regime-Change Recipe for Iran - By PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS
President Obama called on the Iranian government to allow protesters to control the streets in Tehran. Would Obama or any US president allow protesters to control the streets in Washington, D.C.?
There was more objective evidence that George W. Bush stole his two elections than there is at this time of election theft in Iran. But there was no orchestrated media campaign to discredit the US government.
On May 16, 2007, the London Telegraph reported that Bush regime official John Bolton told the Telegraph that a US military attack on Iran would “be a ‘last option’ after economic sanctions and attempts to foment a popular revolution had failed.”

America Seeks To Destroy Pakistan With A Thousand Cuts - Atif Salahuddin
The events of September 11, 2001, have transpired to be a tremendous watershed for Pakistan. Since then Pakistan has followed a trajectory of events that has been almost unprecedented in Pakistan’s history. Yet despite this trajectory being largely plotted by Pakistan’s own rulers the irony is that Pakistan now faces a terrible and perilous situation. Today American warplanes attack Pakistani territory and kill it’s citizens with impunity. Instead of defending Pakistan’s sovereignty against these attacks, the Pakistani government has launched it’s own military operation fighting it’s own people that has displaced over 3.4 million people as Pakistan’s rulers plead they fight for Pakistan’s survival. Moreover random bombings occur in the country that have created a sense of fear in the people.

The Iranian Elections - Sure They Stole It…Up Front and Honestly By REZA FIYOUZAT
The actual results of the 2009 presidential elections in Iran may never be known factually. But the actual tallies of the votes cast may have never had anything to do with anything in the first place.
This does not mean that, in the aftermath of the announcement of the election results, the outrage displayed on the streets by the supporters of the reformist candidate Mir-Hossein Mousavi, America’s favorite horse in the race, does not indicate real hurt. Those Americans who, to this day, are still bitter about the non-election of Al Gore in the 2000 debacle, can get an idea of the Iranians’ sense of betrayal if they take their outrage at the clearly stolen outcome in 2000 and intensify it by a factor of … oh, about a million.

Suicide bomber attacks Pakistani hotel U.S. was to buy
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — A massive truck bomb Tuesday struck the only luxury hotel in Peshawar, a volatile city in northwest Pakistan, killing at least 11 and injuring 70, with several foreign nationals among the victims.
The Pearl Continental Hotel has been a landmark in the capital of the North West Frontier Province, and it’s frequented by foreigners on business and protected by tight security. Peshawar’s elite also used the hotel as a meeting and dining place, and at least one provincial minister was among the injured.
McClatchy reported last month that the U.S. government was negotiating to buy the hotel, which would be used to accommodate the city’s
