22 d\u00e9cembre<\/a> sur son site. L’id\u00e9e est que l’Iran est en train d’installer \u00e0 Managua, la capitale nicaraguayenne, une ambassade qui va devenir un centre fondamental d’attaque contre les USA. Tout se tient, d’\u00e9poque en \u00e9poque, de montages en virtualismes. Le monstrueux Ortega, r\u00e9cemment \u00e9lu pr\u00e9sident du Nicaragua et qui accueille \u00e0 bras ouverts les monstrueux Iraniens, nous rappelle la terrible menace que les Sandinistes firent peser sur la civilisation occidentale lorsqu’ils renvers\u00e8rent le dictateur Somoza il y un quart de si\u00e8cle. Cette fois, c’est infiniment plus grave, car c’est la menace iranienne qui vient insidieusement se d\u00e9ployer sur le flanc Sud des USA, dans la basse-cour arri\u00e8re, avec autant de force mena\u00e7ante, autant de fourberie, que fit l’URSS du temps de la Guerre froide. Pire encore, puisqu’il s’agit du viol de rien moins que la doctrine Monro\u00eb, qui veille sur la vertu am\u00e9ricaniste depuis pr\u00e8s de deux si\u00e8cles (depuis 1824).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tVoici comment Lobe pr\u00e9sente ce dernier \u00e9pisode d’Alice au Pays des Horreurs, conte de No\u00ebl sans fin et sans n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 de finir jamais.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t\u00abRemember when Ronald Reagan warned more than 20 years ago that Soviet- and Cuban-backed revolutionaries were just two days’ driving time from Harlingen, Texas? Well, the folks at Commentary, now under the editorship of John Podhoretz, are busy raising a similar specter, only it’s Iran this time.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbCheck out this week’s post by the incredibly prolific Gordon Chang entitled Iran in Latin America, in the magazine’s online blog, Contentions,’ in which he recounts the various strategic inroads by Tehran among Washington’s Latin neighbors, particularly in the Andes and, most recently, Nicaragua, whose president, Reagan (and Elliott Abrams) nemesis Daniel Ortega, hosted the director of Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), Ezzatollah Zarghami, just last Sunday! According to one of Chang’s sources, Bill Samii, currently with the Center for Naval Analyses, Iran is trying to create a geopolitical balance with the United States, presumably by forging ties with friendly states in what used to be called America’s soft underbelly or backyard. As additional evidence of Iranian penetration, Chang cites a recent feature article from Nicaragua’s Atlantic Coast that ran in the Hearst newspapers. Among other things, it suggests with the help of a former senior FBI official that Iran’s embassy in Managua could become a base for terrorist operations against the U.S. In fairness, the article also quoted Peter Rodman, Rumsfeld’s assistant secretary for international security affairs as pooh-poohing such a scenario.)>D><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThere is nothing left to the Monroe Doctrine., lamented Chang, suggesting that the Bush administration is abandon[ing] Latin America to Iran and that country’s terrorist allies To meet the threat, however, Chang was somewhat restrained in his policy advice, calling for the quick ratification of the various free-trade agreements with Latin American countries (currently Panama and Colombia) that are now languishing in Congress.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbNot so, another Contentions’ contributor, David Hazony, who suggested that stronger measures were necessary to deal with Iran’s inroads in the hemisphere in a follow-up post titled Cold War II. Iran is replicating the Soviet Union’s efforts to build global power and confront the United States on multiple fronts, he wrote.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb<\/em>[T]herefore the proper response by the West is, as with the cold war. to confront and rollback Iran at every turn. Nor is it reasonable to respond that Iran is much smaller and weaker than was the USSR, and therefore should not be taken so seriously; It is through these methods that Iran becomes stronger and more powerful over time. The proper response to determined, implacable enemies (no matter how unpopular this may sound during election season) is to defeat them, especially when they are relatively weak, rather than waiting for them to become intolerably menacing.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
