Le Wall Street Journal : l’Iran ne fait pas partie du " monde civilisé "
Le 28 mai 2008, le Wall Street Journal oppose l’Iran au « monde civilisé » :
« As for the U.S., Secretary Rice’s threat of still-more sanctions will be seen in Tehran for the diplomatic evasion it is. The last set of sanctions took months to pass and were watered down to nothing much. The Administration would do better to withdraw from this international charade and consider means by which the mullahs might be persuaded that their regime’s survival is better assured by not having nuclear weapons. A month-long naval blockade of Iran’s imports of refined gasoline – which accounts for nearly half of its domestic consumption – could clarify for the Iranians just how unacceptable their nuclear program is to the civilized world. It might also have a clarifying effect on the U.S. political debate. Both John McCain and Barack Obama have declared that Iran cannot be allowed to become a nuclear power, and we’re reasonably confident Mr. McCain means it. As for Mr. Obama, who has spoken of the need for "tough diplomacy," now is the time to find out what he really means by "tough.".
Le Wall Street Journal fait référence au « monde civilisé ». Si les mots ont un sens, il nous invite donc à considérer que l’Iran n’en fait pas partie et se voit rejeté dans celui de la « barbarie ». C’est effectivement le préalable indispensable à l’usage de la force. Exclure l’Iran de la civilisation, c’est priver les Iraniens de leur dignité, ce qui en fait des victimes acceptables. Au moins, c’est quasi-officiel : dans quelques semaines, les Etats-Unis vont attaquer l’Iran.
