Relationship: U.S. provokes Iran

No matter how objective you may think you are on the relationship between Iran and the U.S., the reports on the events over the years between the two countries actually reveal that the U.S. certainly has been stirring up mayhem in Iran with political chicanery and covert maneuvers.

1. In 1953, the CIA helped to reinstate the U.S. puppet, Shah, back to power in Iran. The U.S. has NO RIGHT to dictate who it wants as a leader in other countries. It's quite understandable why Khomeini triumphed in an Islamic revolution to restore power in Iran for Iranians.

2. In 1986, U.S. President Ronald Reagan used Iran in secret arms deals to raise money for his illegal backing of Contra guerrillas in Nicaragua. Meanwhile, the U.S. was backing Iraq's Saddam Hussein in a war against Iran.

3. In 2003, U.S. President George W. Bush pushed for the U.S.-led illegal invasion of Iraq. Then, the U.S. accused Iran for staging attacks on U.S. forces. Why would Iran attack the U.S. forces after the U.S. had helped to remove Iran's enemy, Saddam Hussein?

Note: In January 2002 before the invasion of Iraq, Bush branded Iran part of an "axis of evil" as one of the countries for Bush to invade.

4. In November 2011, the U.S./Israel now accuse Iran for developing an atomic bomb design, as they did in 2008 UN sanctions. The accusers were proved dead wrong in a report - U.S. National Intelligence Estimate in 2007 - which clearly stated that Iran "put nuclear military plans on hold in 2003."

Considering that Iran shot down a U.S. spy drone in July and again on Sunday, December 4, 2011, who is provoking whom?

Considering all the facts above on how the U.S. had consistently accused Iran of this or that, why aren't there more consistent mainstream reports showing the U.S. as the worst warmonger in the world?

NATO Attack: Pakistan finally wakes up

Pakistan is in uproar over the "unacceptable" U.S.-led NATO attack on a Pakistani military post, killing 24 Army personnel.

Looking at a series of events, the U.S- led NATO attack on Pakistan recently was certainly not "a mistake" but a "tit for tat" retaliation.

It's not surprising that NATO deliberately attacked a Pakistani post after the relationship between the U.S. and Pakistan has soured for more than half a year. In May, the U.S. violated Pakistan's sovereignty by committing a covert operation in killing supposedly Osama Bin Laden. Then, Pakistan imprisoned a CIA contractor. Without evidence, the U.S. accused Pakistan on backing a militant attack on the U.S. embassy in Kabul. Moreover, the contention over Shamsi Air Base in Pakistan used by U.S. forces for drone strikes in Afghanistan and other parts of the region has deepen the rift between the U.S. and Pakistan.

It's obvious that the U.S. IGNORES any leader's plea to stop the drone attacks in Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan. In fact, the U.S. is doing everything to protect its illegal, barbaric defense toy against humanity.

It's about time Pakistan stood up to the U.S. and should not play along with the U.S. illusory "war on terror." In response to the attack, Pakistan did the right thing - shut down NATO supply routes into Afghanistan and ordered the U.S. to vacate the drone base in 15 days.

And it's about time for any Muslim nation to know that the U.S. has no real friends, just allies that are being used as pawns.
