Insolent Iran?
The cradle of civilization as we know it today lies in the region of Iran and Iraq. Today they may be two different countries quite opposed to each other in as much manner as East and West Germany was once, or North and South Korea and India and Pakistan are today. Not in the distant past, or earlier, these were one people, one nation with one language, culture and customs. Politics does make for strange bedfellows and today we have countries split right down the middle on flimsy grounds.
Time and again, with alarming regularity, we see Iran baring its fangs at the US. In a milder manner, it does so at its neighbouring countries too. One wonders if this is a case of bravado or if they actually mean business. Iran well knows that if it does not safeguard its natural oil reserves that are coveted by the superpowers, it could well be annihilated and absorbed by the conqueror. The quality of its oil is among the best in the world. Though used by heating oil suppliers too, it is among the most coveted. They realise that past history from the time we know could well be erased and rewritten if the whims of a few men in a different land were to be given in to. To safeguard its interests, Iran has slowly and surely taken the necessary precautions. Its survival is more than getting even; it’s the history of mankind being rewritten all over again. As long as it does not go the autocratic way, there will be someone who will stand up to the bully.
And it is not for nothing that it was the cradle of civilisation. The pride, or some may claim insolence, is well deserved as long as it manages to strike a balance and stop greed from having its way.
