Re’ news report about Israel illegally joining the nuclear club back in 1969.

Cannot believe as the article states, that America did not give permission.

Report that Nixon and Kissinger were against it sounds like a deliberate lie.

If it is really true that the world let tiny Israel become a virtual nuclear pariah power in the Middle East able to strike any nation at will, it should be regarded as one of the tragedies of modern history, even bringing on WW3.

Ultimately because Iran may still be able to stand up to America conventionally, the nation may have to face nuclear attacks, such injustice possibly bringing in more friendly nations to the East.

All this while Iran has never attacked another country except perhaps rhetorically, while the US has broken just about every law in the book in the Middle East both politically and economically.

The latest criminal act by America, is going on now in Iraq, the local Shias whom the US went in to protect from Saddam's Sunnis now look to become sworn enemies, while what's left of Saddam's 200,00O crack Sunni Frontline Troops now on the American payroll, ready to go into Iran if Cheney has his way..

As a historian one wonders what will be written about what is going on concerning Iraq at present with news deliberately muzzled especially with what should be coming into Australia.

Now back to Mordecai - if the report is true that the US did not give permission for Israel to go nuclear, why was Mordecai not reported a hero by our Western media for justifiably and valiantly going against his country for breaking a law that was nothing else but truly based on Ethical Justice, rather than letting the poor bugger be virtually locked up for life for protesting over something that the Israeli leaders at the time should have been justifiably punished themselves.

Maybe it is why Rudd has let Julia Gillard take over education, which will make sure truths like the above will come out in Humanities studies as they should.
