The Nuclear Non- Proliferation Treaty Is Dead

Mirror, mirror on the wall , who are the greatest proliferators of them all!

"The present system for preventing the proliferation of nuclear weapons is at an end, is bankrupt." Mohamed El Baradei , head of IAEA recently at Davos.

In most communities it is illegal to cry "fire" in a crowded assembly. Should it not be considered serious international misconduct to manufacture a general war scare in an effort to achieve local political aims?: Dwight D. Eisenhower.

05/11/06 "ICH" -- -- The Nuclear Non- Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and its apartheid regime is but a carcass now. While the abhorrent South African regime is long gone, the major violators of NPT -an iniquitous, non universal thrust down regime –held in place by the five recognized nuclear weapons powers (NWPs) , who also occupy the permanent seats in the UN Security Council want this unethical and immoral regime to continue.

There is an unholy alliance of cover up by the NWPs , against the majority of the nations of the world , the non-nuclear weapon states and others ,who watch impotently this dangerous theatre of the absurd and brinkmanship, in trepidation . Something is seriously wrong with the political, economic and environmental health of planet Earth. And something might give in soon, with NWPs carrying out prohibited activities , among others deadly use of depleted uranium weapons. Mother Earth, already damaged could cross the Rubicon beyond redemption.

The US has retched up the present conflict with Tehran, with ill considered support from Europeans ( who need Iranian gas as an alternative to Russian monopoly) . Russia and China would not allow a UNSC resolution for possible US abuse later for an attack on Iran, as was done in Yugoslavia and Iraq. US efforts for a mandatory UN resolution have been thwarted by Russia and China. U.N.S.C members have agreed to present Tehran with a choice of incentives or sanctions in deciding whether to suspend uranium enrichment.

While Sunni countries Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Egypt in the region are lukewarm to Shia Iran, Tehran has gained support from the biggest Muslim nation Indonesia .

USA and UK, with France and Germany, not always in unison , are dancing a macabre dance of death over NPT's carcass against Russia and China , which in tandem with Tehran is countering Western attempts to enter their strategic space.

But , when it comes to their obligations to NPT , the five NWPs close ranks against the rest of the humanity.

Mohamed El Baradei, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), has described as "unworkable" the way of thinking that it is "morally reprehensible for some counties to pursue weapons of mass destruction yet morally acceptable for others to rely on them for security and indeed to continue to refine their capacities and postulate plans for their use" (NYT Feb 12, 2004 )

Former president Jimmy Carter summed it up: "The United States is the major culprit in the erosion of the NPT. While claiming to be protecting the world from proliferation threats in Iraq, Libya, Iran and North Korea ... they also have abandoned past pledges and now threaten first use of nuclear weapons against non-nuclear states."

Russian President Vladimir Putin urged the international community on 10 May to pay attention to the fact that the arms race has reached a new technological level with U.S. defense spending 25 times higher than Russia's. He said "It is too early to speak about an end to the arms race. In fact, it is unfolding, and has reached a new technological level, thus posing a threat of the appearance of an arsenal of so-called destabilizing weapons,"
