Next Steps on Iran

January 13, 2006
FrontPageMagazine.com
Kenneth R. Timmerman
With U.S. Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice noting that Iran has definitively "chosen confrontation with the international community," the United States and Europe called on the International Atomic Energy Agency today to refer Iran to the UN Security Council for possible sanctions.

After many months of probing Western resolve, Iran’s leaders ended any possible ambiguity as to their nuclear intentions on January 10, when they forcibly removed IAEA seals that had been put in place to prevent them from producing nuclear weapons material.


'Divine Mission' Driving Iran's New President
January 14, 2006
Telegraph
Anton La Guardia
As Iran rushes towards confrontation with the world over its nuclear programme, the question uppermost in the mind of western leaders is "What is moving its President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to such recklessness?"

Political analysts point to the fact that Iran feels strong because of high oil prices, while America has been weakened by the insurgency in Iraq.


Iran Faces Isolation Over Nuclear Ambitions

January 13, 2006
Telegraph
Anton La Guardia, Diplomatic Editor and Alec Russell in Washington
Iran faced growing isolation last night after Russia signalled that it would support a campaign by America and Europe to report Teheran to the United Nations for breaching its nuclear obligations.

Teheran's defiant decision this week to restart its uranium enrichment programme, coupled with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's calls for Israel to be "wiped off the map", has stoked international fears that Teheran is trying to build atomic bombs.

Meeting in Berlin, the foreign ministers of Britain, France and Germany called for an emergency session of the International Atomic Energy Agency that would refer Iran to the UN Security Council in the coming weeks.

Condoleezza Rice, the US secretary of state, backed the move, accusing Iran of a "deliberate escalation" of the dispute.


Bush, Merkel Take Firm Stance Against Iran

January 13, 2006
The Washington Post
William Branigin
President Bush and visiting German Chancellor Angela Merkel said today they are pursuing diplomatic efforts to get Iran to end a suspected nuclear weapons program, which Bush said was "unacceptable" and a "grave threat" to world security.

After a lengthy private meeting in the White House, Bush and Merkel said they were working together to formulate a common approach to Iran by the world's major powers and were not yet ready to call for specific sanctions by the U.N. Security Council.

"I'm not going to prejudge what the United Nations Security Council should do," Bush told a joint news conference after the meeting. "But I recognize that it's logical that a country which has rejected diplomatic entreaties be sent to the United Nations Security Council."


Iran and the Bomb

January 13, 2006
The New York Times
Editorials/Op-Ed
Fortunately, Iran is believed to still be several years away from being able to produce nuclear weapons. But it has now embarked on a course that can have no other plausible intent.

Turning its back on generous European and Russian offers that would have guaranteed its supplies of civilian reactor fuel, helped its economy, added jobs and lessened its diplomatic isolation, this week Tehran unsealed the centrifuges it can now use to enrich uranium to bomb-grade levels.


Iran Challenges Europe in Nuclear Crisis

Iran, angered by statements pouring in from European countries over its nuclear program, has announced plans to cut off all voluntary cooperation with the international community if they are sent to the United Nations Security Council to apply for the introduction of sanctions.
Iranian Foreign Minister Manoucher Mouttaki warned Europe will lose the chance of reconciliation with Iran and will be forced to halt the studies of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

Head-to-head: Iran nuclear crisis

Story from BBC NEWS:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/pr/fr/-/2/hi/middle_east/4605264.stm

Published: 2006/01/13
As international pressure mounts on Iran over its nuclear programme, ordinary Iranians are debating whether the country is right to continue with its plans.
The BBC News website spoke to two young Iranians with opposing views on the issue.
While one expressed considerable fears that Iran's bid for nuclear power could damage international relations and hinder the country's progress, the other said that Iran had every right to pursue nuclear power.

EU trio, Russia, China, U.S. to discuss Iran's nuclear issue Jan 16

14/01/2006
"RIA Novosti"
http://en.rian.ru/world/20060114/43003499.html
BEIJING, January 14 (RIA Novosti, Alexei Yefimov) - The European trio, comprising Britain, Germany, and France), Russia, China and the United States will discuss Iran's nuclear issue in London January 16, the Russian envoy to the UN told China's news agency Xinhua Saturday.

Iran threatens to end UN's snap nuclear checks

Saturday, January 14, 2006
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/ArticleNews/TPStory/LAC/20060114/WORLD14-1/TPInternational/Africa
Tehran -- Iran threatened yesterday to end surprise inspections and other co-operation with the United Nations nuclear watchdog if it is referred to the UN Security Council over its nuclear program.
Iran's tough line came as Europe and the United States were trying to build support for hauling Iran before the Security Council.
An end to UN inspections would be a dramatic breakdown in the already faltering diplomatic attempts at reining in Iran's nuclear ambitions. AP

There's method in the Mahdi madness of Iran's president


By Charles Moore
14/01/2006
http://www.opinion.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml?xml=/opinion/2006/01/14/do1402.xml&sSheet=/opinion/2006/01/14/ixopinion.html
Iran has "broken the seals". The phrase refers to the seals placed by UN nuclear inspectors on equipment that, unsealed, enables uranium enrichment, making possible the development of a nuclear bomb.
It has a suitably apocalyptic ring. In the Book of Revelation, the Lamb breaks the seven seals and earth-shattering violence ensues: "…the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together… And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men… hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains".

Iran's recklessness


Saturday, January 14, 2006
http://www.courier-journal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060114/OPINION01/601140356
There is no longer room for doubt that Iran is determined to develop nuclear weapons, its protestations of peaceful intent notwithstanding.
Earlier this week, Iranian authorities removed seals placed by the United Nations on a key uranium enrichment plant. In doing so, Iran rebuffed concerted European attempts at negotiation and offers of generous economic aid, as well as a Russian plan to help Iran make utilities-grade nuclear fuel in Russia.

US stocks flat as Iran concerns offset tame data

NEW YORK, Jan 13 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks ended flat on Friday as profit warnings and concerns about Iran's threat to halt U.N. nuclear inspections offset a tame inflation reading in a government report.
But the rally at the start of 2006 gave the Standard & Poor's 500 and Dow stock gauges their best percentage gains for the first two weeks of the year since 2003.

Dear Cyrus,

here's a few items of interest....



Saudi King to Discuss Iran, Ties with Israel on Delhi Visit

http://www.iranvajahan.net/cgi-bin/news.pl?l=en&y=2006&m=01&d=14&a=10

January 14, 2006

Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz, who will be chief guest during the Republic Day parade, will talk to Indian leaders on vital issues concerning Iran's WMD programme and opening a communications channel with Israel in the changing circumstances. The Saudi king, who will embark on a five-nation trip commencing 21 January, is keen to open a liaison relationship with Israel and seeks Indian assistance in this.

King Abdullah is now sensing the heat of Islamic extremism in his own country to an extent that he has told his close aides to find an immediate solution to it.

The Al-Qaeda and other terrorist organisations are repeatedly issuing warnings to him over religious and political matters concerning the future of the Saudi royal family and their dominant role in defining Islam.

Saudi Arabia is looking ahead to Indian and Israeli cooperation to combat international Islamic terrorism and has suggested that India be given membership of the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC) having the world's second largest Muslim population.

Though the proposal was withdrawn under pressure from Pakistan and the UAE, the Saudis believe India can not only assist in fighting terrorism, it can also be a bridge to building relations with Israel.

The Saudi king, who will make an official visit to India in five decades, is all set to raise the issue of Iran's WMD programme, and he thinks India can put pressure on Iran to abandon its weapons’ programme which will upset the balance of power in the region.

Cheney's Talks Expected to Focus on Syria and Iran

http://www.iranvajahan.net/cgi-bin/news.pl?l=en&y=2006&m=01&d=14&a=11

KUNA



CAIRO -- US Vice-President Dick Cheney, who is due to have a round of talks with Egyptian leaders starting Monday, is expected to focus on the Syrian-Lebanese issue as well as the Iranian nuclear problem, an Egyptian diplomatic source told KUNA Saturday.

"Cheney is to meet with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in order to discuss issues of bilateral interest, specifically those of Iran and the Mideast, as well as bilateral relations," the source said.

Following his talks in Egypt, Cheney is to proceed to Saudi Arabia, within the framework of a tour of the area, which was to have started on Dec 21 but was postponed because of emergency US Congress meetings, which Cheney was required to attend, the source said.

The Cheney talks in Saudi Arabia are due to focus on the crisis between Washington and Tehran as well as the stalemate in relations between the US capital and Damascus, the White House had announced Friday.

Other items on the agenda of the talks include Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's health setback as well as the situation in the Palestinian political situation in view of the expected change in Israel's political leadership.

Major Powers to Meet Over Iran Nuclear Crisis

January 14, 2006
AFP
Sunday Times



VIENNA -- The five permanent members of the UN Security Council and Germany will hold talks in London on Monday to plan a pivotal meeting on the Iran nuclear crisis, a European diplomat said.

Senior foreign affairs officials from the six nations will try to set the date for a meeting of the UN nuclear watchdog, which has the power to refer Iran to the Security Council, the diplomat said. Iran provoked a furious international criticism when it broke International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) seals on Tuesday at three nuclear plants to resume uranium enrichment research. Enriched uranium can be used as fuel for nuclear power stations, but in its highly enriched form can be used for the explosive core of atomic weapons.

The London talks will bring together the major European powers that have negotiated with Iran -- Britain, France and Germany -- along with China, Russia and the United States. A meeting of the board of IAEA could be called for the end of January or beginning of February, according to several sources here. According to those sources, the European nations and the United States want to take a fortnight to "establish a coalition" and convince China and Russia to take Iran to the Security Council where sanctions could be applied.

Tehran's new ambassador to the IAEA, Ali Asgar Soltanieh, said Iran wanted to carry on negotiating with the Europeans, who have declared the talks at a dead end. "We are determined to continue our work, our full co-operation with the agency," he told a news conference at the IAEA headquarters. "We are a people for dialogue, for negotiation," he said, adding "we warmly welcome the opportunity to negotiate with the Europeans." Soltanieh said there would be a second round of negotiations with the European Union troika of Britain, France and Germany, although he did not give a date.

It was unclear what action the Western powers would take even if the matter reaches the Security Council. France and Germany were reluctant to speak about economic sanctions against Iran ahead of the IAEA meeting. "For the moment we believe that this is premature," German foreign ministry spokesman Martin Jaeger said when asked whether European nations wanted the Security Council to impose sanctions on Tehran.

"We first want to speak to our relevant partners," Jaeger said. France said the question of sanctions was "premature", pointing out that it wanted to "continue consultations" with Russia, China and its European partners on the issue.

Satellite Photo Shows Activity at Iran Nuclear Plant

http://www.iranvajahan.net/cgi-bin/news.pl?l=en&y=2006&m=01&d=14&a=3

January 14, 2006
The Associated Press
Los Angeles Times



WASHINGTON -- A private Washington institution dedicated to lessening the global threat of nuclear weapons released a satellite photograph Friday that it said showed extensive new construction at a restarted nuclear plant in Iran.

The photo of the plant at Natanz was taken Jan. 2 and shows seven buildings under construction that have appeared in the last year, said Corey Hinderstein, deputy director of the Institute for Science and International Security.

http://www.isis-online.org/images/iran/dg_jan2_2006_ann.jpg

The site near the central city of Natanz includes Iran's main fuel enrichment plant where Iranian technicians removed seals Tuesday that had been installed by the International Atomic Energy Agency. Iran also has resumed nuclear research.

Western powers say the Islamic Republic's nuclear program is aimed at creating nuclear arms, but Iran insists it is building commercial nuclear reactors to generate electricity for homes and factories.

Hinderstein said the photograph released Friday does nothing to solve that dispute.

"When we release the photo, it's not to draw conclusions about what [the facility] is to be used for," she said. "There is nothing about this facility from inside or outside that indicates it is for a nuclear weapons program." The equipment is the same for both civilian and military uses, Hinderstein said.

The photograph's caption says it shows the location of underground centrifuge cascade halls for the fuel enrichment plant, designed to hold about 50,000 centrifuges for installation in modules of 3,000 centrifuges each.

Also visible is the pilot fuel enrichment plant, one location where IAEA seals were removed.

The Axis of Order?

http://www.iranvajahan.net/cgi-bin/news.pl?l=en&y=2006&m=01&d=13&a=6

January 13, 2006
The New York Times
Thomas L. Friedman



Last September, Deputy Secretary of State Robert Zoellick gave a speech to the National Committee on United States-China Relations in which he repeatedly urged China to become a responsible "stakeholder" in the international system. It turns out that there is no word in Chinese for "stakeholder," and the initial Chinese reaction was puzzlement and reaching for a dictionary. Did Mr. Zoellick mean "steak holder?" After all, he was speaking at a dinner. Maybe this was some Texas slang for telling China it had to buy more U.S. beef? Well, eventually the Chinese got a correct interpretation.

At the time, I thought Mr. Zoellick was raising an important point, but I now believe it is an urgent point. Why? Because Iran is determined to build a nuclear bomb, and the only nations with the clout to stop it - by diplomatic means - are China, Russia and India. Let's hope they act, because if Iran goes nuclear, the international order that has evolved since the cold war ended could unravel.

Iran decided this week to defy the U.S., Europe and the U.N.'s International Atomic Energy Agency - by removing the I.A.E.A. seals at three Iranian nuclear sites - so Tehran can resume uranium enrichment, a key step in making a bomb.

The I.A.E.A. seals were put in place two and a half years ago, after the U.N. agency found that Iran was in breach of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. Iran could have been referred to the Security Council then for sanctions. But instead, in return for keeping the seals on Iran's facilities, the Europeans tried to negotiate an end to the crisis.

Why has this now become a stakeholder test for China, Russia and India? Because if the Iranian mullahs - who are now awash in petro- dollars - know one thing, it is how to read power and weakness. The Iranians know that the U.S. has already put all the sanctions on Iran that it can. They seriously doubt that the Europeans will ever impose sanctions. And - this is the key - even if the Security Council censures Iran, and Europe miraculously joins the U.S. in imposing sanctions, the Iranians assume that China, Russia and India (that's half the world) will never follow.

Iran will back down only if China, Russia and India make it clear that they are not only willing to let Iran's case be taken up by the Security Council - a step sought by the U.S. and Europe - but that they will also join in stringent economic sanctions. Western threats, which Iran's radical president dismissed with the back of his hand yesterday as some little "fuss," are no longer credible.

Communist Russia and China opposed the U.S. during the cold war, and socialist India was neutral. But since the end of the cold war, all three countries have embraced capitalism and become huge players - and beneficiaries - in today's global economy, with Russia providing oil and gas, China manufacturing and India software. All three now have a huge stake in the stability of the international system.

But these countries have basically been cruising along as free riders on a stable international order, which has been maintained largely by the U.S., with help from the E.U., NATO and Japan. Both Russia and China have actually used their clout at times to protect international bad actors - like Iran, Sudan and North Korea - out of a narrow economic self-interest and a kind of residual third-world, gotta-counter-the-Americans reflex.

But if Iran defies the U.N. and goes nuclear, it will give an already nasty regime a shield behind which to make even more trouble - from Iraq to Israel and Europe. It would also be likely to lead to the end of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, to a possible military strike against Iran by Israel or America - which would surely disrupt the Persian Gulf oil supplies that India and China depend upon - and to a nuclear arms race in the Middle East. The Sunni Arabs may tolerate the Jews' having a bomb, but not the Shiite Persians' having one. The Arabs would want their own bomb. And Russia would have an unstable, nuclear-armed Iran on its border.

In fairness, India, China and Russia have taken small steps to defuse the crisis and signal Iran that they don't approve of its actions and may let it be hauled before the Security Council.

That helped keep Iran on the fence - for a while. But now Iran has gotten off the fence, and so must Russia, China and India. For their own sakes, if not ours, these emerging big three have got to become the Axis of Order. The old cops on the beat can't deal with the Axis of Evil alone anymore. Pay attention to how this one ends, folks. The structure of the whole post-cold-war world is at stake.

-----------------

A brief comment on this last article:

There is an extrodinary discussion underway at very high levels among all interested parties (nations), unprecedented in fact, up to and including the days leading up to the Iraq liberation.

This "test case" Iran now presents to the international community not only on the viability of the NPT and IAEA protocols, but on the premis of multilateralism as an effective tool to maintain peace and security in the world is in process as I write.

Iran itself has become a test-case for UN reform and the credibility of the UN Sec. Council, the IAEA, and the UN charter itself if it cannot enforce civilized behavior among it's member states and call to account, addressing in concrete measure, the intent of the IRI to "wipe out" another member state, by revoking the UN membership that the IRI has abused. As a first step in coersive multilateral diplomacy.

If the world vs. Iran produces a positive outcome, nullifies the threat posed by the regime, with the removal of the regime and a brighter future for the people of Iran thereby, then not only will nation's have placed their investment of policy in the Iranian people, but their long term global economic investment as well.

A radical shift in some nations economic investment to be sure, but a sound investment in a stable future Iran.

Out of all this, if successfull....as it must be....I believe one of the hidden benefits of this global cooperative effort will be the dissaperance of the last twinges of the cold-war hangover the world has suffered from since the cold-war was declared "over".

Once this happens, Iran having rejoined the family of nations in good standing, an ally on the war on terrorism rather than a sponsor of it, the long nightmare of the Iran nation over....

The domino effect on Syria, North Korea and a few other nations that are ruled by tyrants and conflict will be overwhelming.

Rather than a crisis of confidence to effect positive change, the international community and the UN will not lack for confidence, or trust in one another that "we can do this together."

A lot of things will come from that realization, and the dysfunctional family of man may then indeed realize its potential.

In the meantime of course, there will be those that regard this as hopeless optimism....Time will tell.

Dear Cyrus,

Thought I'd copy your excellent socio-economic comparitive analysis and paste it here because in all the calculus and probability theory surrounding human events, and as it relates to my comment above, I believe the sign has just turned from negative to positive on the curve of modern Iranian history....the world is today at that "inflection point" I believe.

Cyrus The Great Old World Order And
Sept 11 Strategic Inflection Point For New World Order
(My Notes and Working Draft In Progress)

In order to define Sept 11 Strategic Inflection Point for New World Order, we need to identify this transition point. First for applying A "10X" Change Business theory by Dr. Andy Grove Chairman of Intel Corp. to a problem domain we need to illustrate Sept. 11 inflection point which is based on this practical proven business theory, then providing change of direction recommendations / suggestions regarding the future of World Order and U.S. as the only Super Power to move away from G8 hypocrisy Camp to a more progressive camp for creating a better balanced world and higher scientific goals of space traveling and exploring to increase man's awareness.

Where Are We And Facts About Our Planet

The perspective we get on Earth, our planet appears to be big and sturdy with an endless ocean of air. From space, astronauts often get the impression that the Earth is small with a thin, fragile layer of atmosphere. For a space traveler, the distinguishing Earth features are the blue waters, brown and green land masses and white clouds set against a black background. We should love and respect our small beautiful mother earth planet, because without it there is nothing to talk about it. Many dream of traveling in space and viewing the wonders of the universe. In reality all of us are space travelers. Our spaceship is the planet Earth, traveling at the speed of 108,000 kilometers (67,000 miles) an hour . Today the planet earth has over 6 billion population with 1 billion over poverty and over 5 billions under poverty line with unproductive life and many problems. The Fanatics, FASCISTS, Mullahs, Terrorists, Islamists ..... are becoming the biggest obstacles for freedom and progress in this planet. The question is how can we change to enhance the quality of life and environment in this planet ?

"10X" Change Business Theory By Dr. Grove

A "10X" Change "What such a transition does to a business is profound, and how the business manages this transition determines its future. I like to describe this phenomenon as an inflection point."


The Strategic Inflection Point

What is an inflection point? Mathematically, we encounter an inflection point when the rate of change of the slope of the curve (referred to as its "second derivative") changes sign, for instance, going from negative to positive. In physical terms, it's where a curve changes from convex to concave, or vice versa. As shown in the diagram, it's the point at which a curve stops curving one way and starts curving the other way."

So it is with strategic business matters, too. An inflection point occurs where the old strategic picture dissolves and gives way to the new, allowing the business to ascend to new heights. However, if you don't navigate your way through a peak and after the peak the business declines. It is around such inflection points that managers puzzle and observe, "Things are different. Something has changes."

Sept. 11. Strategic Inflection Point For New World Order



Today the world can be observed from two camps, one camp is moving towards ultimate evolution point for progress and freedom (Cyrus The Great ...) the other camp is moving towards ultimate disaster (Fanatics, FASCISTS, Mullahs, Terrorists, Islamists ....). After Sept 11 the U.S. has potential to move towards Cyrus The Great camp direction and away from EU and G8 hypocrisy camp to protect the status quo and their hidden agenda with plundering policy towards developing countries (EU policy towards Iran is the best example of such a backward policy).

The study of Cyrus the Great and establishment of his ethical Persian empire more than 2500 years ago which it was based on Good Thoughts, Good Words and Good Deeds is validating our argument that in our time the concept of world order based on ethics, peace and harmony among nations are not an impossible goal and illusion. Cyrus The Great first declaration of human rights, freeing 42,000 Jews and not allowing slavery are the best proof of his greatness, and achievements. On the contrary Aristotle (250 years after Cyrus the Great) who was perhaps the greatest philosopher and scientist of the ancient world, supported slavery as natural law or 1000 years after Cyrus The Great, Islam allowed slavery ........

In this century the most fundamental and essential ingredients of an evolution towards these goals are secular democracy, freedom of expression, separation of religion and government, freedom of choice, freedom of religion, cultural toleration, human rights, political feedback mechanism, open trade policy, supervising all prisons in the world by UN, International Justice system, open communications among people in this globe (World Wide Web and Satellite Radio/TV) helping and educating the developing and poor countries with over 5 billion populations to catch up with more advanced countries.

IRAN Of Today Brief Description and Why G8 Must Support Regime change NOW

It is the irony of history that in the land of Cyrus The Great, the birthplace of the first charter of the “Rights of Nations” and the “Declaration of Human Rights” over 2500 years ago; there is today no respect for human and civil rights by the Islamic regime. Unfortunately, present day Iran is ruled by a small group of Islamic Mafia Clerics who are the embodiment of evil and have no respect for Human Rights in the land of Cyrus The Great which is the birthplace of Darius The Great, Babak, Razi (Rhazes), Avicenna (Ibn Sina), Ferdowsi, Khayyam, Hafaz, Saadi and Rumi.

Over the past 25 years the Islamic regime's Mullahs, Agents, courts, judges and vigilantes have all committed acts of: murder, stoning, torture, assault, theft, destruction of property, arson, perjury, falsification of testimonials and material evidence, illegal surveillance, kidnapping, rape, blackmail, fraud, obstruction of justice, conspiracy to commit all of the above crimes, cover-ups and every other form of butchery and depredation.

Time is running out the Iranian people need the help and full support from the leaders of the free world to change this regime with no / minimum bloodshed, otherwise we shall soon confront the world's biggest Islamist tyranny, and the Terror Masters, armed with nuclear weapons. The prison door cannot be opened from inside by 70 millions who are hostage to the regime. With over 500,000 Iranian vicitms of the Regime in past 25 years, the Iranian people can be proud of the fact that they have started the WAR ON TERROR and Battle of Ideas with Islamist Terror Masters long before Sept. 11 while G8 were making deals with Terror Masters.

President Bush has said it right when declared a failure of past U.S. policy spanning 60 years in support of governments not devoted to political freedom.

"Sixty years of Western nations excusing and accommodating the lack of freedom in the Middle East did nothing to make us safe, because in the long run stability cannot be purchased at the expense of liberty," Bush said.
We need to ask where is the US policy regarding Iran? What has the State Dept. done regarding Terror Masters in Iran?

What public can do?

Most often G8 Professional politicians are not innovative and don't like to do anything unless public awareness increases and the public demands change of policy, the public pressure is the key.

As a first step please ask your elected officials to support immediate release of all political prisoners and Regime Change in Iran and Free Referendum In Iran under UN and US supervision. TRUE SECURITY BEGINS WITH REGIME CHANGE IN IRAN.
We can not consider the WAR On Terror as successful as long as the Islamist regime of Iran is in power.

First for applying A "10X" Change Business theory by Dr. Andy Grove Chairman of Intel Corp. to a problem domain we need to illustrate Sept. 11 inflection point which is based on this practical proven business theory, then providing change of direction recommendations / suggestions regarding the future of World Order and U.S. as the only Super Power to move away from G8 hypocrisy Camp to a more progressive camp for creating a better balanced world and higher scientific goals of space traveling and exploring to increase man's awareness.

Where Are We And Facts About Our Planet

The perspective we get on Earth, our planet appears to be big and sturdy with an endless ocean of air. From space, astronauts often get the impression that the Earth is small with a thin, fragile layer of atmosphere. For a space traveler, the distinguishing Earth features are the blue waters, brown and green land masses and white clouds set against a black background. We should love and respect our small beautiful mother earth planet, because without it there is nothing to talk about it. Many dream of traveling in space and viewing the wonders of the universe. In reality all of us are space travelers. Our spaceship is the planet Earth, traveling at the speed of 108,000 kilometers (67,000 miles) an hour . Today the planet earth has over 6 billion population with 1 billion over poverty and over 5 billions under poverty line with unproductive life and many problems. The Fanatics, FASCISTS, Mullahs, Terrorists, Islamists ..... are becoming the biggest obstacles for freedom and progress in this planet. The question is how can we change to enhance the quality of life and environment in this planet ?

"10X" Change Business Theory By Dr. Grove

A "10X" Change "What such a transition does to a business is profound, and how the business manages this transition determines its future. I like to describe this phenomenon as an inflection point."


The Strategic Inflection Point

What is an inflection point? Mathematically, we encounter an inflection point when the rate of change of the slope of the curve (referred to as its "second derivative") changes sign, for instance, going from negative to positive. In physical terms, it's where a curve changes from convex to concave, or vice versa. As shown in the diagram, it's the point at which a curve stops curving one way and starts curving the other way."

So it is with strategic business matters, too. An inflection point occurs where the old strategic picture dissolves and gives way to the new, allowing the business to ascend to new heights. However, if you don't navigate your way through a peak and after the peak the business declines. It is around such inflection points that managers puzzle and observe, "Things are different. Something has changes."

Sept. 11. Strategic Inflection Point For New World Order



Today the world can be observed from two camps, one camp is moving towards ultimate evolution point for progress and freedom (Cyrus The Great ...) the other camp is moving towards ultimate disaster (Fanatics, FASCISTS, Mullahs, Terrorists, Islamists ....). After Sept 11 the U.S. has potential to move towards Cyrus The Great camp direction and away from EU and G8 hypocrisy camp to protect the status quo and their hidden agenda with plundering policy towards developing countries (EU policy towards Iran is the best example of such a backward policy).

The study of Cyrus the Great and establishment of his ethical Persian empire more than 2500 years ago which it was based on Good Thoughts, Good Words and Good Deeds is validating our argument that in our time the concept of world order based on ethics, peace and harmony among nations are not an impossible goal and illusion. Cyrus The Great first declaration of human rights, freeing 42,000 Jews and not allowing slavery are the best proof of his greatness, and achievements. On the contrary Aristotle (250 years after Cyrus the Great) who was perhaps the greatest philosopher and scientist of the ancient world, supported slavery as natural law or 1000 years after Cyrus The Great, Islam allowed slavery ........

In this century the most fundamental and essential ingredients of an evolution towards these goals are secular democracy, freedom of expression, separation of religion and government, freedom of choice, freedom of religion, cultural toleration, human rights, political feedback mechanism, open trade policy, supervising all prisons in the world by UN, International Justice system, open communications among people in this globe (World Wide Web and Satellite Radio/TV) helping and educating the developing and poor countries with over 5 billion populations to catch up with more advanced countries.

IRAN Of Today Brief Description and Why G8 Must Support Regime change NOW

It is the irony of history that in the land of Cyrus The Great, the birthplace of the first charter of the “Rights of Nations” and the “Declaration of Human Rights” over 2500 years ago; there is today no respect for human and civil rights by the Islamic regime. Unfortunately, present day Iran is ruled by a small group of Islamic Mafia Clerics who are the embodiment of evil and have no respect for Human Rights in the land of Cyrus The Great which is the birthplace of Darius The Great, Babak, Razi (Rhazes), Avicenna (Ibn Sina), Ferdowsi, Khayyam, Hafaz, Saadi and Rumi.

Over the past 25 years the Islamic regime's Mullahs, Agents, courts, judges and vigilantes have all committed acts of: murder, stoning, torture, assault, theft, destruction of property, arson, perjury, falsification of testimonials and material evidence, illegal surveillance, kidnapping, rape, blackmail, fraud, obstruction of justice, conspiracy to commit all of the above crimes, cover-ups and every other form of butchery and depredation.

Time is running out the Iranian people need the help and full support from the leaders of the free world to change this regime with no / minimum bloodshed, otherwise we shall soon confront the world's biggest Islamist tyranny, and the Terror Masters, armed with nuclear weapons. The prison door cannot be opened from inside by 70 millions who are hostage to the regime. With over 500,000 Iranian vicitms of the Regime in past 25 years, the Iranian people can be proud of the fact that they have started the WAR ON TERROR and Battle of Ideas with Islamist Terror Masters long before Sept. 11 while G8 were making deals with Terror Masters.

President Bush has said it right when declared a failure of past U.S. policy spanning 60 years in support of governments not devoted to political freedom.

"Sixty years of Western nations excusing and accommodating the lack of freedom in the Middle East did nothing to make us safe, because in the long run stability cannot be purchased at the expense of liberty," Bush said.
We need to ask where is the US policy regarding Iran? What has the State Dept. done regarding Terror Masters in Iran?

What public can do?

Most often G8 Professional politicians are not innovative and don't like to do anything unless public awareness increases and the public demands change of policy, the public pressure is the key.

As a first step please ask your elected officials to support immediate release of all political prisoners and Regime Change in Iran and Free Referendum In Iran under UN and US supervision. TRUE SECURITY BEGINS WITH REGIME CHANGE IN IRAN.
We can not consider the WAR On Terror as successful as long as the Islamist regime of Iran is in power.


Dear Oppenheimer,
Quote:
I believe the sign has just turned from negative to positive on the curve of modern Iranian history....the world is today at that "inflection point" I believe.

Thank you for reminding us regarding new "inflection point" and I hope the G8 countries move to the correct direction however I am not sure yet until I see results and the following 7 articles in each G8 country actions and policy towards illegitimate Islamist regime.

1. Territorial integrity and national sovereignty of Iran.
2. Complete separation of religion from the State;
3. Acceptance of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
4. Free, open and democratic referendum to elect the type of the new Government of Iran in the post-IRI era
5. Minimum standard of living for all citizens of Iran and equal opportunity for all citizens to benefit from country’s national wealth.
6. The “War On Terror” is UNWINNABLE and the world peace can not be achieved as long as the Unelected Islamists Terror and Torture Masters are in power in Iran. The terror state and fear society can not create stability.
7. Iranian people can decide about Nuclear Energy and Atomic Bomb after the regime change when they have established secular democracy and Free society until then Iran can not have any kind of Nuclear research program under Islamist regime control.

The FREE Iran activists should be very watchful and make sure it does not divert to wrong direction. U.S. Government, President Bush leadership and his commitment to Free Society and Secular Democracy in Iran is the key for success.

Regards,
Cyrus

I understand your doubts Cyrus, you're a "show me" kind of guy...you want to see the results before you can believe they are actuality in fact, and reality on the ground. Nothing wrong with that at all.

What I will say is that with any cause and effect, before results can be measured, the inflection point of causal circumstance has been crossed prior to the effect rendered.

the opperative words and phrases today are noted in the press.

"a dead end" in negotiations.

"critical mass"

" a new phase of diplomacy"

"crossing a red line"


They all describe the inflection point of no return for the regime.


The result? It is now the world vs. the IRI

I would add that among your 7 points, there are things that are not the sole domain of the G8 to decide upon, for they are decisions Iranians must also weigh in upon.

As Condi Rice stated in the on the record briefing I posted....she talks about the fact that the Iranian people have "no voice" in their own affairs, nuclear or otherwise.

Ok, let me the ask you if you were to put yourself in that lady's shoes, what would you think SHE considers to be the logical solution to that problem?

To give a voice to the people, no? Support their ability to have one, and lend an ear in the meantime while speaking out on behalf of those lacking a say in the matter...absolutely.

All this and more is afoot at this time Cyrus....

gotta step out for awhile, but let's talk more on those 7 points...

Best,

Oppie
