Иран столкнулся с реальностью

Sep 14, 2012 Javier Solana

МАДРИД. Кто никогда не видел кажущейся воды на шоссе в жаркий летний день? Или трехмерного изображения, которое на самом деле оказывалось рисунком на плоской поверхности? Природа иллюзии в том, что мы ошибочно принимаем что-то за реальность.

И это верно как для когнитивных иллюзий, так и для политических. В зависимости от того, как развивается определенное событие, оно может заставить нас сформулировать ошибочные интерпретации того, что на самом деле происходит.

Такие восприятия обычно опосредованы идеями или прошлым опытом. И, как утверждал Роберт Джервис в своей работе «Восприятия и заблуждения в международной политике», опубликованной во время «холодной войны», иллюзии, которые мы создаем, имеют огромное влияние на принятие решений – и даже становятся основными причинами конфликтов.

Nuclear arms are deterrents. Every nation state either for it or not for it. I see not for it. Without undue deterrants.

The unquestioned assumption in the article is that Iran getting nuclear arms is a inherently bad thing.

Now, I for one am for disarmament of nuclear arsenals all around, but isn't it likely that Iran has a geographically local reason for wanting those Nuclear arms?

Whether or not this justifies it, the fact that this consideration is not even mentioned in the article is to me a glaring omission.

Seems the countries that have them are the "good guys" and the countries who want to be able to defend themselves are cast as the "bad guys".

A bit of a distortion if you ask me.

But discussion is good...

I think the Iranian leadership attempted to forge the NAM as a new venue for political participation. One can hardly deny that Iran has been non-aligned over the last decades, and that Iran's NAM leadership can inject new life in the movement. Whether this could trigger further polarisation, then, it is another issue: http://politicsinspires.org/2012/09/tehran-2012-from-the-axis-of-evil-to-the-non-aligned-movement/
