Iranian Nukes

I was reading over at the Counterterrorism Blog an article by Dr. Walid Phares about Iran and its nuclear ambitions and I began to think. The more I thought about it, the more apparent it became that Iran's nuclear program must be stopped at any and all costs. I'm going to link to Dr Phares' article, of course, but I have a few of my own thoughts.

My thoughts are this. Iran is a nation under the control of a madman. His being a holocaust denier is bad enough, but public statements about removing the Nation of Israel from the face of the earth and how the world would be a better place without America make one pretty nervous as is. Now add in the additional threat of nuclear weapons and you have Armageddon just waiting for a place to happen...and it will too. Let's take a look at how.

Ahmadinnerjacket is not the only madman on earth by any stretch of the imagination. Kim Jong Il over in North Korea is pretty scary too and he already has nukes. Now I know you're saying "so why concentrate on Iran?" Well, that's actually simple. Iran and North Korea both have crazy people running them but they are in completely different places. North Korea has the nukes but lacks a delivery system. Iran has no nukes (yet) but it does have delivery systems. North Korea could develop a delivery system and they are working on it. Iran has, so far, not been able to get a nuke.

The other difference is more important than you think. Sure, North Korea has tested a couple nukes and yes, Kim Jong Il is a total nutbag, but not completely stupid. He's more than likely all talk. Why do I say this? Have you forgotten who lives next door to North Korea? That's right, China. China may not love America, but do you really think they want a nuclear conflict on their back porch? North Korea may develop the delivery system to go with their nukes, but China will never let them get away with popping one, they'd flatten North Korea just to protect their own asses. And Dear Leader knows it.

Iran, on the other hand, is a whole different can of nuts. He has the delivery system and no one close is going to present enough of a threat to stop him. If he gets the nuke to go with his delivery system, he's going to airmail one to Israel. THAT, my friends, is where Armageddon begins. When that bad boy goes off, Israel is going to nuke Iran until it glows. Enough people in the world dislike Israel to begin with, they won't see self defense, they'll just see how the Jews nuked someone and they won't care who the aggressor is, they'll just dogpile Israel. The US will never be able to hold back the Israeli response with Obambi in the White House after he showed such utter disrespect to them. We still have forces in the region so we may be backed into defending them....do you see how the dominoes are starting to fall? Ugly, isn't it?

Iran must not be allowed to gain nuclear weapons. EVER.

Let's not forget that there's a nutjob in this hemisphere too...Chavez down in Venezuela. Don't forget, he's butt buddies with Ahmadinnerjacket. Since Ahmadinnerjacket doesn't like America, he could smuggle a nuke to Chavez who would be more than happy to use it here. Ponder that for a bit.

We're so wrapped up in watching Obama destroy the country from within that we're beginning to lose track of those who would like to destroy it from without.
