The West is King

Who made the West king on this world? Why may the West decide who are the good and who are the bad? I ask this question after reading a news article titled; “Follow God or vanish”, apparently a quote given by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad saying “They are angry with our nation. But we tell them 'so be it and die from this anger'. Rest assured that if you do not respond to the divine call, you will die soon and vanish from the face of the earth," http://www.news24.com/News24/World/News/0,9294,2-10-1462_2041017,00.html

Look, these are some scary words from a leader in a world already divided and fragmented between several divisions, but what I find surprising is somewhere further in the article, it says the following: “A defiant Iran has refused to suspend its uranium enrichment work, a process that the West fears could be extended to make nuclear weapons.” Who is the West this article’s referring to? Could this be USA or UK and does Israel fall part of the West? These are the nations that in the last 40 years have invaded more nations, used more mass military operations and killed more innocent victims than any other country! But the West is worried about Iran?

Who then speak for the innocent people of Iraq, Palestine and Lebanon (to name a few recent events) if the West don’t protect them? Who speaks against these aggressor nations? The only nation to have used nuclear weapons on innocent civilians was the USA, yet they may tell others that they fear Iran might build nuclear weapons!

The article further says the following: “the UN security council is agreed there will be sanctions on Iran”. If the UN Security Council plans to impose sanctions on Iran, why not those that have nuclear weapons already? Those aggressor nations that without UN sanction invaded other countries, killing thousands of civilians; women and kids with long range missiles and massive bombs dropped from high altitude planes. If I read this article it implies that the West are the good guys and everyone else the bad. Does this world’s moral fate lie with the West?

If this is the case, then we are in big trouble. How can the USA say who the good Nations are if they are allowed to invade other countries, destroy infrastructure and kill innocent civilians? If the UN sanctioned these killings, then the UN does not represented the rest of the world in equal measure. If the UN were the true “United Nations”, the true representation of the whole world, then this will not have been allowed. Nor would Israel have been allowed to occupy someone else’s land and allowed to invade its neighbors, killing innocent people in Lebanon and Palestine.

Who made the West king? By reading this article I have to say it sounds like the media has made the West king. Most, if not all news articles like these originate from the West. The same media that said Iraq can strike within 24 hours. The same media that said Iraq has weapons of mass destruction. The same media that were imbedded with the USA troops during the Iraq invasion. It looks like the West and main stream media are the one and the same.
