These weapons of mass destruction are being set in place, if Iran cannot be persuaded out of producing nuclear weapons. Once again the US has built a military base at the sake of others, under agreement in 1971, on the British Territory forcing many natives off of their land.

Diego Garcia will be used to hold detrimental Blu-bombs which will be carried from Concord, CA to the British island in the Indian Ocean. The US has not exposed their extensive preparations for the attack on Iran adding suspicion to the probable altercation. Rob Edwards writes regarding the concerns of Ian Davis, director of the independent think tank, Nato Watch,  Davis asserts that we need clarification is the US’ intentions for the weapons, jointly with British Foreign Office’s attitude of Diego Garcia use to attack Iran. The decision will be left up to President Obama to decide who will provide more benefits as the resolution for such a threat, US or Israel. Edwards brought up the questions of necessity within the essay. This should lead many to ask if our government is taking the procedural steps in protecting the nation or it they are further deepening our sacrificial military components. Title: “Final Destination Iran?.”

Pablo Dreyfus, who was traveling with is wife aboard the flight from Rio de Janerio to Paris, had worked with the Brazilian authorities for years to stop the flow of weapons and ammunition that have fueled drug wars in Rio. Also traveling with Dreyfus was his friend and colleague Ronald Dreyer, a Swiss diplomat and coordinator of the Geneva Declaration on Armed Violence. Dreyfus and Dreyer were on their way to Geneva to present the latest edition of the Small Arms Survey handbook, of which Dreyfus was a joint editor. It was to have been an important step in their relentless fight towards a less profitably violent future.
