USA's democratic dualism or duelism

Md.Monirul Islam

The current international system, although not necessarily perfect, is certainly satisfactory, partly because the United States has played such a bulky role in establishing it. No state can have a greater stake in the prevailing order than the hegemon, nor can any state have greater power to maintain the system. The United States should then be a very conservative state in its foreign relations; with its power and dominance thus assured, it should be the quintessential status quo power. It makes a puzzle of Washington's current behavior, which is anything but conservative. In the fierce debate over the merits of its post-September 11 foreign policy, insufficient attention has been paid to the odd fact that the United States, with all its power and stake in the system, is behaving more like a revolutionary state than one committed to preserving the arrangements that seem to have suited it well.

A newly hurt heated phenomenon far and wide has enthralled well-versed natives ubiquitous the planet forthrightly termed the Yankees' fervent stance against democracy and democratic standard with the slur of Mahood Ahmadinejad, the president of Islamic Republic of Iran. The entire world's a stage when the general assembly comes to town, and Ahmadinejad strutted and fretted plenty. He was snubbed first by the city of New York when he proposed laying a wreath at ground zero.

No one can do, police said; too big a security risk, which was rather delicately put, given how revolted New Yorkers were by the prospect of a tyrant's hand touching sacred ground. The Iranian president was invited by Columbia University, New York, where he addressed the students and faculty of the university on September 24.

The Columbia University, a great centre of academic scholarship, true to its tradition of freedom of expression, went ahead with its invitation much against opposition by the city and some prominent senators. Though his speech created a good deal of furore, Ahmadinejad could not have had a better forum. Lee C Bollinger, president of the university, while introducing the Iranian president, chose to pour venom upon his invited guest, and showered some of the 'choicest' epithets in his arsenal of vocabulary.

Bollinger described Ahmadinejad as a 'cruel dictator,' an 'astonishingly uneducated' person. How an erudite being consider others annunciating like that? Iranian president was dispossessed of drawing the conclusion of his delivering speeches in the Columbia University, which every sightseer's free will is echoed, as per sited extraordinarily of Iranian President. Washington's tremor to Iran's nuclear program strongly illustrates his direct contrast against Iran, although Tehran's claim the peaceful operation of its nuclear program. Iran is strongly going ahead as his Diplomats said Iran had installed close to 3,000 centrifuge machines, enough to start refining usable amounts of nuclear fuel, but would need to run them in unison at high speeds for long periods to attain that threshold.

Western powers fear Iran's stated pursuit of nuclear-generated electricity is a precursor to it learning how to build atom bombs. They have sponsored two sets of UN sanctions against Tehran and are preparing to draft harsher penalties, but fears are growing that the standoff could escalate into war. In this sequence, a report is revealed by Tim Shipman in Washington in the Sunday Telegraph with the title of "US trains Gulf air forces for war with Iran". The report reveals that The American air force is working with military leaders from the Gulf to train and prepare Arab air forces for a possible war with Iran.

Air warfare conferences in Washington last week was told how American air chiefs have helped to co-ordinate intelligence-sharing with Gulf Arab nations and organizes combined exercises designed to make it easier to fight together. Gen Michael Mosley, the US Air Force chief of staff, used the conference to seek closer links with allies whose support America might need if President George W Bush chooses to bomb Iran. Pentagon air chiefs have helped set up an air warfare centre in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) where Gulf nations are training their fighter pilots and America has big bases.

USA were waiting for Ahmadinizad's visit in UN conference, how does he approach in this confrontation between USA and Iran. Now, it is lucid to USA that Iran will never discard its nuclear program that shrewdly stated by Iranian president; so America vehemently has carried out all its endeavors of home working invading Iran through erecting intelligence-sharing with Gulf Arab nations and organized combined exercises designed to make it easier to fight together.

A startling picture was located on the street of New York, during the visit of Mahood Ahmadinejad, the current president of Iran, that holding placard by U.S citizens on behalf of Reza Shah Pehlobi, the former autocratic ruler of Iran ousted with the Iranian Revolution in 1979. Every people of this planet know about the atrocities of SAVAK, a brutal police force formed by Reza Shah Pehlobi to suppress the workers of Imam Khomini, the harbinger of Iranian Revolution whose effort bestowed the flavor of liberty for Iranian people from despotism exceedingly triggered by Pehlobi.

Placard exhibition on behalf of despotism in America, the pasture of democracy viewed strongly by them, bamboozles their stand for democratic standard may be considered the democratic dualism or duelism done by U.S. Invitation of Mahmood Ahmadinizad in Columbia University for respecting democratic norms and values is right in an absolute perception, but making hindrance on his way of freedom of expression and slurring him using erroneous words question about U.S's stance in favor of democracy.

The current attempt of the preparation of USA with its psyche lived in Gulf area to invade Iran, in which sense it is correct vibrates all whose position are always on behalf of democracy as fan of democratic standard. They demand, U.S should come to the table with world leaders on, Iran's acquiring either peaceful nuclear energy or not.

U.S also should dispatch enquiries whether they deem, Iran's nuclear energy lies beyond the peaceful operation. What is indicated by the democratic fans? The teaching of democracy points toward debates and discussion on the table either is bilateral or multilateral, but not unilateral. Unilateralism is often well matched with despotism, which fans of democracy will move forward in their performing stage beyond sheltering dualism or duelism.
