Good diary and great set-up question soj.  The US ignoring the whole AQ Khan deal is amazing piece of jaw dropping hypocrisy-imagine if he was from Iran-we'd probably already nuked the place.

Right now bush's posturing about Iran is just freaken me out. Given how this administration likes to threaten or refuse to talk to countries(like N.Korea)I find it perfectly reasonable on other countries part to want to build up their military might or try to build nuclear weapons.

Sirocco's two part diaries should be required reading for Americans who want to know exactly what our government is up to and why other countries may just be just a bit cynical due to our hypocrisy regarding which state can or can't have nuclear capabilities.

I was going with C but thought B was the US.

Let's see ...


  • Pakistan ISI and Osama Bin Laden are good guys, because they fight the Soviet Communists in Afghanistan.
  • President Saddam Hussein is a good guy because he fights Iran, killed and gassed a million Iranians.
  • Pakistan, Uzbekistan etc are good guys, because they help us fight and kill Afghans who supported Osama Bin Laden.
  • Isreali PM Sharon is a good guy because he fights Saddam Hussein, so we invade Iraq and kill 100,000+ Iraqis.
  • Interim Gov't of Iraq are good guys, so we'll nuke Isfahan nuclear facilities of new president Ahmadinejad of Iran, a bad guy involved in 1979 hostage taking in Tehran.

Watch for the next neocon soundbite... even Democrats on the Hill have lost all sense and direction.
