AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a series of critical questions directed at the U.S. government regarding its foreign policy actions and historical decisions, particularly concerning Iran. Key points include inquiries about the U.S. media's treatment of Iranian President Ahmadinejad, the 1953 coup against Iran's democratically elected government, support for Saddam Hussein during the Iran-Iraq War, and the U.S. stance on the Palestinian government. Additional questions address the failure to locate Osama Bin Laden, support for the controversial Mujahedin Khalq Organization, the legitimacy of the Iraq invasion, alliances with undemocratic regimes in the Middle East, and opposition to nuclear disarmament initiatives. The conversation highlights a call for accountability and transparency from U.S. leadership, suggesting that these issues reflect broader national interests rather than principled foreign policy. Participants express skepticism about whether these questions will receive serious responses, emphasizing the need for a dialogue that holds U.S. officials accountable for their historical and current actions.

Just in case anyone else was thinking of posting this HAHA I beat you to it :biggrin:

1- Why did the US media put you under so much pressure to prevent Mr. Ahmadinejad from delivering his speech at Columbia University? And why have American TV networks been broadcasting hours of news reports insulting our president while refusing to allow him the opportunity to respond? Is this not against the principle of freedom of speech?

2- Why, in 1953, did the US administration overthrow the Iran's national government under Dr Mohammad Mosaddegh and go on to support the Shah's dictatorship?

3- Why did the US support the blood-thirsty dictator Saddam Hussein during the 1980-88 Iraqi-imposed war on Iran, considering his reckless use of chemical weapons against Iranian soldiers defending their land and even against his own people?

4- Why is the US putting pressure on the government elected by the majority of Palestinians in Gaza instead of officially recognizing it? And why does it oppose Iran 's proposal to resolve the 60-year-old Palestinian issue through a general referendum?

5- Why has the US military failed to find Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden even with all its advanced equipment? How do you justify the old friendship between the Bush and Bin Laden families and their cooperation on oil deals? How can you justify the Bush administration's efforts to disrupt investigations concerning the September 11 attacks?

6- Why does the US administration support the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) despite the fact that the group has officially and openly accepted the responsibility for numerous deadly bombings and massacres in Iran and Iraq? Why does the US refuse to allow Iran 's current government to act against the MKO's main base in Iraq?

7- Was the US invasion of Iraq based on international consensus and did international institutions support it? What was the real purpose behind the invasion which has claimed hundreds of thousands of Iraqi lives? Where are the weapons of mass destruction that the US claimed were being stockpiled in Iraq?

8- Why do America's closest allies in the Middle East come from extremely undemocratic governments with absolutist monarchical regimes?

9- Why did the US oppose the plan for a Middle East free of unconventional weapons in the recent session of the International Atomic Energy Agency Board of Governors despite the fact the move won the support of all members other than Israel?

10- Why is the US displeased with Iran's agreement with the IAEA and why does it openly oppose any progress in talks between Iran and the agency to resolve the nuclear issue under international law?

Why should Bollinger have to answer for the US Administration (and for administrations from half a century ago)? :confused:
 
Fourier,

I could answer all 10 of your questions in 2 words and it will sum it all up.
NATIONAL INTERESTS.

Good Day my friend.

I presume they are requesting that Bollinger put most of these questions to the US admin using the same style of questioning as used on their president and report on the answers he receives.

Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
