U.S. Military Encirclement of Iran http://forusa.org/blogs/judy-bello/us-military-encirclement-iran/9909 

The U.S. vendetta against Iran is a reflection of the true nature of U.S. aggression and drive for hegemony. An ancient country, recently much beleaguered by Western colonial projects, the people of Iran are sophisticated, experienced for better or worse, with Western culture, and tired of being manipulated and ripped off. Iran’s current leadership is the result of a revolution against 100 years of colonial ‘occupation’. Iran has been the center of more than one empire. It’s current leadership is ready to defend the integrity of their country, and to form close alliances with compatible regional entities. We say they are meddling. Iran’s nuclear program, popular with all constituencies within the country, is a defiant statement that they are a player, and their chips are in the game.There are those who see Iran as a defiant upstart, but it would be equally true to say that Iran is an ancient entity, with a level of internal social integration, of integrity, that is unique in the region. Iran’s determination to regrain her lost dignity has blossomed from the ashes of a chattel nation ruled by an impotent potentate whose best effort to regain the glory of the past involved building a gaudy, hollywood style replica of ancient structures in a country where the real artificacts of that culture stand proudly among the modern cities and oil refineries. However one may feel about the theological bent of the Islamic regime, they have made a serious effort to form a uniquely Iranian government, with many of the principles of a progressive society embedded in the construct, if not fully materialized.
