Jump To Comment: 1Unbeknown to the Irish anti war movement (perhaps) ,two days ago the Guardian published this article headlined “Israel primed to attack a nuclear Iran”
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/nov/28/israel-prim...-iran
It seems incredible that the Irish Anti-War Movement should be silent on this issue . There is a photo with the Guardian article showing an American bunker busting bomb being handled on the USS Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier. The caption explains that the “US and Israel wanted to keep quiet that Israel was buying the weapons, fearing it would look like preparations for attacking Iranian nuclear facilities”.
Scientists in America have used Pentagon-devised software to measure the impact of a "limited" nuclear attack on the main Iranian underground nuclear site in Esfahan , predicting three million deaths by radiation within two weeks.
Any such attack on Iranian nuclear facilities would be a signal for mass repression internationally - the trappings of western democracy would be dispensed with to deal with the threat of an Islamic terrorist response . Nuclear fall-out would be the excuse to keep everyone indoors while the state went around rounding up the troublemakers. They have been preparing the lists for a long time ( remember that petition you signed , did you ever wonder where it ended up and who read it ? )
This was the advice from the government two years ago in the emergency planning booklet they sent out to all householders under the section dealing with the National Emergency Co-ordination Centre’s instructions to the public in the event of a nuclear incident :
"What to do (in the event of a nuclear incident)
Go in, Stay in, Tune in. In other words, stay indoors and listen to both radio and television for information and instructions."
There is a disconnect between the anti- war movement and the emerging movement against the financial elite - even though it is often the same people involved at activist and leadership levels in both movements . Anybody who is at all familiar with the history of the twentieth century should realize the terrible danger of world war posed by the unsolvable contradictions for nation states thrown up by the present financial situation . The crisis of the capitalist system will certainly set competing nation states a timetable towards nuclear confrontation if the mass movement against war is not re-mobilised internationally , and more importantly, if it is not re-energised on the basis of a fight for the overthrow of the capitalist system.
