Head of the Mossad, Ephraim Halevy, warned the NATO leadership: “North Korea is helping Iran develop long range missiles that can reach Europe and America”.
Not only has Iran tried to join the nuclear power’s club. The Islamic race for nuclear weapons began in 1969 when Muammar Gaddafi tried to buy a nuclear bomb from Pakistan for 500 million dollars. During a meeting of scientists back then in Tripoli he said: “Whoever leads the inevitable Islamic war with the Western world in the 21st century will be those who possess an atomic bomb “. One major question remains unanswered. Has the U.S. learned how to deal with Iran from the lesson it learned in dealing with the elimination of the Libyan nuclear threat?
There is a common practice applied by Israel’s Prime Minister to the country’s media-political arena, a practice by which he gives interviews during prime time so the public might be exposed to information regarding existential questions. Questions like how or what did we do last year, are things good or bad, as well as where are we heading as a nation in the foreseeable future? Interviews of this type are typically used by politicians as a stage show where they can display their ‘merchandise’. But what does that politician do if he has no merchandise to show? It turns out that the answer to his dilemma is simple as that politician knows the path of creating a terrifying scenario is always a good and effective means designed to demonstrate to his astonished audience that only he, the wise politician who sits on high, really knows how to deal with the existential storm that is about to occur.
This method is not new and more than a few Prime Ministers have used it. The one who was most skilled in creating horror scenarios of this kind was Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. Thus, in a world already filled with news about the nuclear threat from Iran as well as the existence of an array of missiles carrying chemical warheads in Syria, Sharon decided that it was time to scare the people of Israel. Using an unusually severe statement Sharon declared, “Libya is working vigorously on developing a nuclear bomb and probably is the most advanced Arab country in this field”. In order to turn a normal threat into a terrible threat, Sharon added,” the Libyans are receiving help and using nuclear expertise from Iraq as well as receiving Science andTechnological support and assistance from Pakistan”.
