So, now it seems that having spread chaos in Iraq, President Bush and his hawkish buddies (we all know who they are, don't we kids) want to nuke Iran. Do I detect a double standard here? Iran & North Korea are forced by the U.S. to sign up to the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty, but Isreal with some 500 hundred nuclear warheads(it is estimated, but they won't actually allow anyone to inspect them).
I don't want to be seen to be bashing Isreal all the time but they are the main reason for so much instability in the region, well that & a half a century of meddlesome foreign policy by the administrations of the U.S. in the middle east.
So, starting a small nuclear engagement on the planet is a good thing? NO!
Given the fact that we have nowhere else to go if we continue to fuck-up the planet, this latest course of action by the Vice-President Dick Cheney will be our doom. So what happens if the U.S. nukes a small part of Iran? Well the Isrealis will feel bound to join in the carnage & attack Iran also. Iran will retaliate by most likely giving further support to the insurgents in Iraq, supporting any terrorist act against the U.S. and strangling the shipping lanes in the Persian Gulf. Then lets not forget the other Arab states in the region that will do their utmost to attack Isreal and then before you can say: "comming to a theatre near you", it's World War 3.
Gee whiz, sounds like a "win-win" to me guys. NOT!
Hands up if you'd like to see the fascinating green glow of an irradiated middle east? Personally, not me. Though I'm not a Muslim I'd still like to visit the ancient ruins of Mesopitamia, Mecca, Demascas and travel up the Euphates river befor I die.
Does anybody remember that guy from the middle ages named Nostradamus? Who predicted that a "Persian Prince would bring fire from the sky and rain it down on some unsupecting U.S. city?" I hate to be the one to say it, but perhaps this quatraine looks to be comming to fruition. With the help of some considerable international pressure.
At least the American public are waking up to the fact that the U.S. is becomming more like a dictatorship and less like the democratic "land of the free and the home of the brave". Thank the gods that old G.W. can't run for another term. But as much as I might give the guy shit, I do know that his buddy Vice-Pres. Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld are the main proponets of the "lets-bomb-the-shit-out-of-everything-in-sight-club."
The rest of us who have to share the planet with them can only pray that one of them doesn't run for President in the next election. May the gods help us if they do.
I do like G.W.'s sense of humor though, he's funny when he wants to be. In a documentary, when asked if he were a tree, what kind of tree would he be? He replied: "why would I be a tree? I'm a Bush." Ha ha, you slay me G.dubya.
Anyway, lets try to avert the use of nuclear weapons, unless it's against an alien invader from outer space. Nukes are bad, Pac-Man.
Remember those posters in high school that had the "this is your brain on drugs" pictures? Imagine a burnt, blasted and scared planet, Few if any real heathy people remain. Nuclear fallout fills the atmosphere and there are no major cities left that can really be inhabited by any one. So radiation sickness anyone?
NOT ON MY PLANET, BUDDY!
Take it easy guys and have good one. I'd best put this down and go back to my assignment. Catch you next time.
