2010-A Crisis Year Ahead
By
Roger Behra
As the year 2009 ends and the new year 2010 begins, a very fateful time in America’s history is beginning. What makes it so fateful is America’s lurch toward socialism and away from democracy and her ongoing failure to correctly comfort Iran and her nuclear development situation that has the Middle East on extreme alert and tension. The United States has to firmly realize and express with her actions that Iran cannot be trusted and his thumbing her nose at the U. S., Israel, and the rest of the free world. And America is certainly failing in her responsibilities in this matter.
After Obama took office in January, 2009, soon thereafter, he extended his hand of friendliness to Iran. That did not work. As 2009 progressed, the centrifuges continued to run fast, several two-stage rockets were launched, and the announcement that eleven new uranium sits were being planned. A secret processing facility was also uncovered that brings into question the extent of their progress. A complete year was lost for the U. S. It was a year of squandered opportunity.
In Ira it was also a time of revolution over a stolen election, as the U. S. stood silently away from the situation and offering no support. In essence that gave support to the clerical dictatorship that runs Iran. The U. S. gave a big helping hand to a very oppressive and murderous regime that was in a desperate situation. That was unbelievable. As a result many Iranians were beaten, imprisoned, and murdered. The ground lost at that time will never be regained.
The question is will the opposition gain in numbers enough to reach it’s needed goals? It probably will not without outside help, but continued opposition is well worth the try. There are great rewards at stake here and to be won. Iran’s race to develop nuclear weapons has to be stopped. The leadership cannot be trusted in what they are saying and doing.
It is a clear fact that Iran supports terrorism and provides materials that end up in places that kill innocent people and Americans. Iran´s two main goals aside from developing nuclear weapons are to wipe Israel and America off the map. They soon could be in a position to seriously harm Israel. And with some nuclear tipped rockets they could destroy satellite communication causing great chaos throughout the U. S. and elsewhere.
It is a given that Iran will dominate 2010. Israel gave until 12-31-09 to come clean about her enrichment of uranium. Iran did not. If Israel does not take matters into her own hands and attack Iran, then Iran will become a nuclear power and probably find a reason to cross the line. Sadly to realize, it seems like and attack on Iran by Israel will be the only solution. Time and patience dealing with Iran has just about come to an end. Failure by the U. S. and other countries to sternly and effectively stop Iran’s devious and dishonest behavior is unforgivable, and sooner or later the results will be devastating to nobody’s great surprise.
