To that tale of blind allegiance and mindless threat mongering, two earlier decisions by two other American presidents − Eisenhower and LBJ − add agency to America’s complicity in this looming catastrophe.<br /><br />President Eisenhower’s laid the groundwork for an international atomic energy agency under the UN to promote the use of nuclear energy for “the peaceful purposes of mankind.” Forever known as Atoms for Peace. Under that plan in 1957 Iran inaugurated its nuclear program signing a nuclear cooperation agreement with the US. Three years later, the US agreed to allow Iran to purchase a 5 MW research reactor for Tehran University.<br /><br />Fast forward to 1967. Knee deep in Vietnam on the brink of being consumed by it, LBJ agreed to let the Shah, our buddy, fuel the reactor with highly enriched uranium provided by none other than the US. <br /><br />Note also that Iran was one of the first to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation treaty in 1968 unlike Israel which has chosen not to acknowledge its nuclear capability nor sign the treatybiral@comcast.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3743871202965200454.post-49476699313278857142012-02-06T13:43:38.213-08:002012-02-06T13:43:38.213-08:00As an American, whose family as served the princip...As an American, whose family as served the principals of our world democracy, the U.S.A, shouldn't we become ashamed of our politicians who are becoming only bureau- rats, as every where else.
