Will the demonization ever end before another catastrophic war takes place in another Middle Eastern country? In Shai Greenberg’s Feb. 23 letter urging Japan to boycott sales of Iranian oil, “Unbearable cost of Iranian oil,” we are treated to the usual blather about Iran developing an “offensive nuclear weapon” (are there any other kinds?). On the other hand, the author supports Israel by claiming that Iran constantly threatens its existence.
These assertions are myths, not facts. First, it is well documented that — just as in Iraq — no weapons program has been uncovered in Iran. On the other hand, why does Israel have the right to have hundreds of nuclear weapons and refuse any international inspectors? I call that a double standard of grotesque proportions.
