Would The United States Attack Ghana If.........?

Say what you want to say ‘bout Ghana. For me, personally, Ghana is still a beautiful country. Tough, I may not necessarily approve of her politics. In fact, we Ghanaians have so much to be proud of. We have a country, which hasn’t engaged in a single act of war or terror since her inception. Indeed, our peaceful countenance indicates that we are wise beyond our years. To me, it takes courage, wisdom, strength, and civility to be peaceful, especially in this world in which war and terror have become the norm. That said, our peaceful nature doesn’t guarantee us anything. It doesn’t mean that our country cannot be attacked. In this world, no country is save from the other. Mind you, anything can and could happen. As you and I know, the human being isn’t immune to conflict, even if unprovoked. The record has shown. Therefore, as a means to an end, many countries have resorted to armament to protect themselves against unprovoked aggression.

Every sovereignty, I believe, should have the right to protect itself by whatever means necessary. It’s reported that the United States of America has a nuclear bomb in her possession. Apart from being in possession of this bomb, she’s reported to have in her possession various weapons of mass destruction. Of course, the United States isn’t the only country in possession of an atomic bomb. Countries like Israel, Germany, France, The United Kingdom, Russia, China, and Pakistan are all in possession of weapons of mass destruction. In July 26, 1945, the United States--under president Harry Truman, issued a statement, which called for the surrender of Japan in the second World War. The Japanese blatantly refused. As a result, in August 6, 1945, America dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan. The attacked resorted to the deaths of more than a 166,000 Japanese. Three days later, on August 9, 1945, the city of Nagasaki followed suit. In this city alone, 60,000 Japanese lost their lives due to America’s unprovoked attack.

Due to the devastating effect of the nuclear bomb, the Nuclear Proliferation Treaty was born on March 5, 1970. The objective of this treaty was and is to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and weapon technology. Furthermore, to promote cooperation in the peaceful uses of nuclear energy. Most importantly, to further the goal of nuclear disarmament in its totality. Thus far, 189 countries or parties, including the United States, have signed the treaty. Quite recently, the country of Iran, which is a party to the treaty, decided to develop nuclear energy. The Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, assured The International Atomic Energy Agency that Iran’s nuclear energy programme is for developmental purpose. Yet the United States, which has a nuclear bomb in her possession, wants Iran to forsake her nuclear energy programme. As of the moment, the United States has called on Germany, France, and The United Kingdom to help her sanction Iran. These aforementioned countries, mind you, are all in possession of a nuclear bomb, which they have no plans to dismantle. Furthermore, these aforementioned countries haven’t forsaken their own nuclear programmes. Yet they are telling Iran to forsake hers or else.

For years, Ghana has been developing electrical energy. As you and I know, this energy has proven to be insufficient, even for powering our country. For her development, especially in this 21st century, Ghana would have to consider an alternative source of energy. Perhaps, a nuclear energy for some of her developmental purposes. That said, as you read this, dear reader, the United States is planning a war on Iran for developing nuclear energy. Now, folks, the question is; why is the United States silent on France’s nuclear programme? Why is the United States quiet on Germany’s nuclear programme? Why isn’t the United States talking ‘bout Britain’s nuclear programme? Why is the United States mute on Israel’s nuclear energy programme? The world knows that these aforementioned countries have nuclear bombs in their possession. So, how come that the United States isn’t sanctioning these countries? Better yet, has the United States abandon her own nuclear energy programme, let alone tell others to do so? Personally, I wonder what America would do if Ghana ever pursues nuclear energy. Would America sanction Ghana, or would she plan an attack? Please, your take on this issue would be appreciated. Thank you!
