"As'ad Abu Khalil points us to this rather eye-boggling -- and revealing -- passage from AP's obituary of Hugo Chavez:
Chavez invested Venezuela's oil wealth into social programs including state-run food markets, cash benefits for poor families, free health clinics and education programs. But those gains were meager compared with the spectacular construction projects that oil riches spurred in glittering Middle Eastern cities, including the world's tallest building in Dubai and plans for branches of the Louvre and Guggenheim museums in Abu Dhabi.
My god, to think such evil once walked this earth!"
And one of those signs is that everywhere else that's gone before is desperately backing away.
The elephant in the room that somehow does not get mentioned is the half century of Pro Israel propaganda.

I'm not sure that's true.
All of the "intelligence" from the US concludes that they are not developing a bomb. (see here: http://antiwar.com/blog/2012/08/03/ehud-barak-admits-iran-has-defensive-posture-no-weapons-program/)
All of the blather and bombast about the nuclear program is merely a cover for the west's aggression to one of the few non-servile states.
