"What lessons have Graham, McCain, Bush and all the other neo-con apologists have learned after five years in Iraq? Almost none, " concluded Fiderer?
 
Washington Post reported that Vice President Cheney gave a right-wing radio a dramatic new argument for preventing Iran from getting nuclear weapons, casting the Iranian leadership as apocalyptic zealots who yearn for a nuclear conflagration. [ Would Iran look for a fight with US or Israel!]
 
But Cheney did not comment on any recent conversations with Israeli leaders about the possibility of their bombing Iranian nuclear facilities. Some observers suspect Cheney of encouraging Israel to attack Iran as a proxy. Media is talking of Israel's attack on Syria to engage Lebanon's Hezbollah with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert trying to regain his lost prestige and confidence after the defeat of the 'invincible' Israeli arms inflicted by Hezbollah in July –August 2006 war , which was so acknowledged even in investigative report chaired by an Israeli Judge .
 
Conventional wisdom in Washington has it that Cheney and other supporters of military action against Iran were quietened after the National Intelligence Estimate of last November reported that Iran had halted its nuclear weapons program in 2003.
 
Western leaders and corporate media divert attention from their Middle East crimes to Tibet
 
Regarding Beijing Olympics, one of Hollywood's great filmmakers Spielberg, a Jew , opted out of the committee to advice on the Olympics, on humanitarian grounds.  How many Tibetans have been killed in Tibet and a few other the provinces.  Mr. Spielberg has said nothing to the best of my knowledge about the killing of over one million Iraqis, creating 2 million widows , making 5 million orphans and forcing out more than 4 million Iraqis to become refugees abroad and in their own country .Last heard from Bush in Dec 2006 , his numbers were about 30,000 Iraqis dead. The US do not count others dead .Are they are sub-humans ! US have touched the lowest  depths humans can descend to in Abu Gharib ,Guantanamo , and Baghram and in renditions to secret places for torture. And many were tortured , even some European and North American nationals , simply because they happened to be Muslims. 
 
How many refugees have US and UK accepted including those who collaborated with them . Miniscule .Illegal invasion and brutal occupation is responsible for the catastrophe .Many of those who are in Syria and Jordan after their savings have run out  have been forced to resort to prostitution for survival , the main clients being the rich Saudis, the 'staunch' allies of Washington and London .
 
In a piece titled "China and America: The Tibet Human Rights PsyOp" in’ Global Research' of 13 April , Michel Chossudovsky says,

"The human rights issue has become the centerfold of media disinformation.
 
"China is no model of human rights but both are the US and its indefectible British ally, responsible for extensive war crimes and human rights violations in Iraq and around the World.  The US and its allies, which uphold the practice of torture, political assassinations and the establishment of secret detention camps, continue to be presented to public opinion as a model of Western democracy to be emulated by developing countries, in contrast to Russia, Iran, North Korea and the People's Republic of China.
 
Human Rights "Double Standards"

"While China's alleged human rights violations in relation to Tibet are highlighted, the recent wave of killings in Iraq and Palestine are not mentioned. The Western media has barely acknowledged the Fifth "anniversary" of Iraq's "Liberation" and the balance sheet of the US sponsored killings and atrocities perpetrated against an entire population, in the name of a "global war on terrorism". 
 
There are more than 1.2 million Iraqi civilian deaths, 3 million wounded. The United Nations High Commission for Refugees  (UNHCR) indicates a figure of 2.2 million Iraqi refugees who have fled their country and 2.4 million "internally displaced persons": 
 
 "Iraq's population at the time of the US invasion in March 2003 was roughly 27 million, and today it is approximately 23 million. Elementary arithmetic indicates that currently over half the population of Iraq are either refugees, in need of emergency aid, wounded, or dead."
 
The Geopolitical Chessboard

There is deep-seated geopolitical objectives behind the campaign against the Chinese leadership.

"US-NATO-Israeli war plans in relation to Iran are at an advanced state of readiness. China has economic ties as well as a far-reaching bilateral military cooperation agreement with Iran. Moreover, China is also an ally of Russia, Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan in the context of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). Since 2005, Iran has an observer member status within the SCO.
 
"In turn, the SCO has ties to the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), an overlapping military cooperation agreement between Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Uzbekistan,  Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, and Tajikistan.
 
In October of last year, the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) signed a Memorandum of Understanding, laying the foundations for military cooperation between the two organizations. This SCO-CSTO agreement, barely mentioned by the Western media, involves the creation of a full-fledged military alliance between China, Russia and the member states of SCO/CSTO. It is worth noting that the SCTO and the SCO held joint military exercises in 2006, which coincided with those conducted by Iran.

In the context of US war plans directed against Iran, the US is also intent upon weakening Iran's allies, namely Russia and China. In the case of China, Washington is seeking to disrupt Beijing's bilateral ties with Tehran as well as Iran's rapprochement with the SCO, which has its headquarters in Beijing. 
"China is an ally of Iran. Washington's intention is to use Beijing's alleged human rights violations as a pretext to target China, an ally of Iran. "
 
An Arab Woman's Blues.
 
The US military has destroyed too much of the country and slaughtered too many people to expect that these attitudes will change anytime soon. Iraqi poet and bloger Layla Anwar sums up the feelings of many of the war's victims in a recent post on her web site ""An Arab Women's Blues: Reflections in a sealed bottle"
 
"At the gates of Babylon the Great, you are still struggling, fighting away, chasing this or the other, detaining, bombing from above, filling up morgues, hospitals, graveyards and embassies and borders with queues for exit-visas.
 
Not one Iraqi wishes your presence. Not one Iraqi accepts your occupation.
 
Got news for you Mother-F-----rs-, you will never control Iraq, not in six years, not in ten years, not in 20 years...You have brought upon yourself the hate and the curse of all Iraqis, Arabs and the rest of the world...now face your agony."
