Imaginez un peu ce qui se passerait, disons au niveau de l’\u00e9motion qui saisirait la communaut\u00e9 internationale, les intellectuels germanopratins, l’\u00e9ditorialiste du Monde<\/em> et le secr\u00e9tariat g\u00e9n\u00e9ral de l’OTAN, si un commando de l’arm\u00e9e r\u00e9guli\u00e8re iranienne, apr\u00e8s avoir occup\u00e9 le Canada pour le lib\u00e9rer en le dotant d’un gouvernement ind\u00e9pendant, p\u00e9n\u00e9trait dans un consulat des USA au Canada pour se saisir d’une poign\u00e9e de diplomates US, ratant de peu le directeur de la CIA cens\u00e9 s’y trouver. C’est ce qu’ont fait vis-\u00e0-vis des Iraniens, le 11 janvier, les militaires am\u00e9ricanistes \u00e0 Abril, au Kurdistan irakien. Andrew Cockburn, dans l’Independent<\/em> du 3 avril<\/a>, emploie une image adoucie pour expliciter les projets US, qui rat\u00e8rent de peu deux chefs du renseignement iranien :<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00abThe attempt by the US to seize the two high-ranking Iranian security officers openly meeting with Iraqi leaders is somewhat as if Iran had tried to kidnap the heads of the CIA and MI6 while they were on an official visit to a country neighbouring Iran, such as Pakistan or Afghanistan. There is no doubt that Iran believes that Mr Jafari and Mr Frouzanda were targeted by the Americans. Mr Jafari confirmed to the official Iranian news agency, IRNA, that he was in Arbil at the time of the raid.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tDans les colonnes de TomDispatch.com<\/em> de ce jour<\/a>, Noam Chomsky pousse plus loin l’analogie, en se demandant ce qui se passerait, comment r\u00e9agiraient le monde civilis\u00e9, et surtout notre immortelle r\u00e9f\u00e9rence am\u00e9ricaniste, si l’Iran envahissait effectivement le Canada et le Mexique.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00abDoubtless Iran’s government merits harsh condemnation, including for its recent actions that have inflamed the crisis. It is, however, useful to ask how we would act if Iran had invaded and occupied Canada and Mexico and was arresting U.S. government representatives there on the grounds that they were resisting the Iranian occupation (called liberation, of course). Imagine as well that Iran was deploying massive naval forces in the Caribbean and issuing credible threats to launch a wave of attacks against a vast range of sites nuclear and otherwise in the United States, if the U.S. government did not immediately terminate all its nuclear energy programs (and, naturally, dismantle all its nuclear weapons). Suppose that all of this happened after Iran had overthrown the government of the U.S. and installed a vicious tyrant (as the US did to Iran in 1953), then later supported a Russian invasion of the U.S. that killed millions of people (just as the U.S. supported Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Iran in 1980, killing hundreds of thousands of Iranians, a figure comparable to millions of Americans). Would we watch quietly?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbIt is easy to understand an observation by one of Israel’s leading military historians, Martin van Creveld. After the U.S. invaded Iraq, knowing it to be defenseless, he noted, Had the Iranians not tried to build nuclear weapons, they would be crazy.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tLa diff\u00e9rence, of course<\/em>, r\u00e9side dans la puissante \u00e9vidence, refl\u00e9t\u00e9e au cur de la psychologie am\u00e9ricaniste, de l’inculpabilit\u00e9<\/a> US, cette \u00e9tonnante assurance-certitude de la justesse et de la vertu du comportement US. C’est dire s’il faut bien de la sagesse aux \u00e9pouvantables tyrans ayatollesques pour agir avec la retenue et avec l’habilet\u00e9 qu’ils ont mises dans l’affaire des prisonniers britanniques prestement baptis\u00e9s otages.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
