  From the Truman Doctrine to the Neo-Conservatives

  by Michel Chossudovsky -- Global Research -- Feb. 5, 2007

  1. The contemporary context 

  The World is at the crossroads of the most serious crisis in modern history. The United States has embarked on a military adventure, "a long war," which threatens the future of humanity. 

  At no point since the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima on Aug. 6th, 1945, has humanity been closer to the unthinkable, a nuclear holocaust that could potentially spread, in terms of radioactive fallout, over a large part of the Middle East.

  There is mounting evidence that the Bush Administration, in liaison with Israel and NATO, is planning the launching of a nuclear war against Iran, ironically, in retaliation for Tehran's nonexistent nuclear weapons program. The U.S.-Israeli military operation is said to be in "an advanced state of readiness."

  If such a plan were to be launched, the war would escalate and eventually engulf the entire Middle-East Central Asian region.

  The war could extend beyond the region, as some analysts have suggested, ultimately leading us into a World War III scenario.

  The U.S.-led naval deployment (involving a massive deployment of military hardware) is taking place in two distinct theaters: the Persian Gulf and the Eastern Mediterranean.

  The militarization of the Eastern Mediterranean is broadly under the jurisdiction of NATO in liaison with Israel. Directed against Syria, it is conducted under the façade of a UN "peace-keeping" mission. In this context, the Israeli led war on Lebanon last Summer, which was conducive to countless atrocities and the destruction of an entire country, must be viewed as a stage of the broader US sponsored military road-map.
