Dispute over Lollipops and Nukes
He is well known for speaking up and loud against Iran’s nuclear defiance. He is totally against Iran developing their nuclear program. “The tougher we in the international community are, the more likely we are to get the result we want. Any sign of weakness is lethal.” he once said. In the meantime and somehow he is developing his nuclear weapons.
He is Tony Blair and he is our main guest on this entry. As much as Tony loves his WMDs as much as he wants to keep it for himself and some other friends. Tony’s ultimate fantasy is to keep nukes away from “the axes of terror countries” however he doesn’t mind to increase the main 9 "push the button" nuclear group with his consent. For him, he and his friends are rational enough to handle such deadly technology. Oh well despite some marginal errors like Hiroshima and Chernobyl for example.
At the same time and on the other part of the world, Iran is not pleased with Tony's developing his nukes. Why should Tony and his friends have it and we not? "It is not fair" some Iranian spokesman said or would say.
I still remember that day when Hajj Amin the grocery shopkeeper in my town added to his very minimal list of candies the lollipops with the chewing gum inside it. Back then I was playing with my peers by the rocks on the shore and there was this mean kid (now is a good friend) coming towards us with the lollypop in his hand and a very big smile covering almost all his face (as we say in Arabic). He was nice enough to let us know that Hajj Amin was selling those new tasty lollipops. My first thought was run as fast as I can home. Play the old trick of “mom I need money” and head back to hajj Amin grocery to buy that lollipop. However that mean kid had another idea. As I was trying to head home he blocked my way and sort of pushed me to the ground. I fell down on the rocks and injured my knee. I still bear the scars of that injury on my left knee till these days.
Somehow, I see the mean kid in Tony. For long now I thought that politics is the old wise big players’ game. I admit I was very naïve. And I admit I am very scared. A small tiny push on a lollipop dispute left a scar on my knee for years now. I wonder how would it be on a nukes dispute!
