Hoenlein's comments were reported Monday by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.While head of the UN Atomic Energy Agency, Mohamed ElBaradei assured the world that Iran had no hostile nuclear intentions or capabilities. As late as this week he stated that the Muslim Brotherhood has nothing to do with extremism and they are a religiously conservative group.
Given these statements, I question that ElBaradei will maintain "stability and security" in Egypt and/or the Middle East.
Al Baradei is a stooge? What distorted repports? How does one arrive at that conclusion? Is it the figment of a fevered imagination or some divine revelation? Hoelein doesn't say.
While he was head of IATA Baradei reported on Iran's progress in purifying uranium fuel to reactor grade to power its installation at Bushehr. None of this was secret. Although the reactor had a protracted gestation period, it was due for completion. And IATA was given full access to Iran's facilities and works under the terms of the NPT signed by a previous government.
Baradei was scrupulous in checking western accusations of secret work underway to purify uranium to weapons grade. Much was made of massively increased centrifuge installations, all of which proved either to be pure 'bunk', or legitimate applications allowed under the NPT. Baradei refused to report on things he did not find.
Even his successors have never reported on developments that he might have missed. If their not being precise enough, leaving leeway for the 'paranoia chorus' to howl makes Baradei wrong somehow, it makes him as much a 'stooge' for the Iranians, who so far have been found to be telling the truth, as it does the current IATA body 'stooges' for an idiot fringe, who so far have been consistently, and demonstrably, erroneous.
There is absolutely no proof that Iran (a shiite state) is pulling any strings in one of the largest of the Sunni states. It makes as much sense to say that America or Israel is causing the disruption for they are, actually, in Egypt.
We have all lost hope in humanity, how sad. Only hate is reported in the media to stir more emotions and trouble in the world. You will be held acountable one day.

Perhaps it was just this one American Jewish Leader, but it seems, IMO, that many American Jews practice this double standard. I wonder if Israeli Jews aren't the more civil ones. Perhaps because being in Israel, and not in the U.S., where they confront Arab enemies daily, they realize civility is better than provocation. Many times, in posting, and a few times in real time, Jews have called me anti-semitic. Usually this comes when there is even the slightest difference of opinion, from what my Jewish friends think. To differ with "THEIR" opinion seems in their mind to be anti-semitic. Jews in the U.S., IMO, should not be so quick to use anti-semitic and the "R" OR "N" word is used. This American Jewish Leader instead of using the term "a stooge", perhaps could be a bit more tactful and cause less provocation. We can only hope, for a world, one day, where all people treat others with more love and respect and tolerance and understanding. Until that day, I suppose we will continue to see American Jewish Leaders slandering and slurring those who differ from their own tight attitudes.
