Dear Friends,
It seems to me, we live in a dangerous age, because we have elected dangerous people to lead us. The message the international community is sending tyrants the World over, is to get nuclear weapons as fast as possible. With the Obama administration not only bowing to Iran’s nuclear ambitions, but rewarding them with billions of dollars that has been locked up since the Iranians took US embassy officials hostage, is a very loud announcement. Compare the treatment of Iran’s Ayatollahs with Qaddafi. The message cannot be confused, get nuclear arms! Once nuclear technology has proliferated to the most despicable tyrants on our planet, the likely outcome is a nuclear war, sometime in the future. No matter where on the planet a nuclear war happens, even a relatively small exchange, it would have dire consequences for the entire human race. Our leaders cannot be so stupid they don’t know what they are telling the world’s oppressors, by their actions, our leaders must also understand the logical outcome of their policies, so, the World’s elite must want a nuclear war.
Iran is setting on an ocean of oil. If they had used a tenth of the money they have spent on developing nuclear centrifuges, on their oil infrastructure, they could have upgraded their oil infrastructure to modern standards, then they wouldn’t have had to suffer the crippling economic sanctions that almost stopped their nuclear program, and they would have driven up their GDP, (and the standard of living of their people), dramatically. The Ayatollah claims he wants nuclear power for peaceful purposes from one side of his mouth, even as he exclaims “Death to America” from the other. On the face of it, the argument they need nuclear energy is absurd, furthermore, why go to such trouble when there is an easier path available, unless they want nuclear weaponry?
Take the example of North Korea. The little dictator there was an international pariah until he acquired nuclear arms. Now he is a big deal, and is assured he will not have the international community breathing down his neck, for such crimes against humanity as, intentional famine, forced labor camps, and punishing political dissidents for three generations… to name a few. Nuclear weapons gave the North Korean communist tyranny a “Get out of jail free card.” Iran undoubtedly watched as North Korea played the Clinton and Bush administrations like a fiddle.
Now lets look at Moammar Qaddafi. He voluntarily gave up his nuclear weapon program and his chemical program as well. He opened his country to international inspectors so they could verify his disarmament. They checked off that Libya was indeed disarmed. Then the European union, backed up by Obama, went in and bombed his regime, protecting Al Qaida’s stronghold in Benghazi, until Qaddafi’s mutilated lifeless body was dragged through the streets. This example couldn’t have been more obvious to the World’s tyrants. They saw how they would be punished if they disarm and how they would be rewarded if they weapon up. Don’t think for a second the lesson was lost on them, you don’t get to be President for life, unless you are smart, and ruthless.
Today, the US and the European union has further rewarded Iran’s nuclear program by freeing up billions of dollars to the regime, as well as lifting some of the most crippling economic sanctions. Iran has once again shown to the world’s oppressors that the path to safety, (for the dictator), is to acquire nuclear armament. To disarm is to invite torture and humiliation. No oppressor want’s his dead and mutilated body dragged ingloriously through the streets of his capital city. The message could not be louder or clearer. So, the inevitable result will necessarily be, a scrambling of every autocrat on the planet to get nuclear weapons.
Once enough psychopathic tyrants have acquired nuclear weapons how long before one of them uses them? That is, if Iran doesn’t beat them to the punch. Even as the feckless Obama administration is freeing up billions for the Ayatollahs, demonstrating to the Iranian people the wisdom of their nuclear program, they cheer in the streets, “Death to America” and “Death to Israel,” egged on by the theocracy. I am not of the opinion that Obama, Merkel, or even Holland is that stupid. They have to know what message they are sending to the World’s tyrants.
Obama and the World’s “leaders” have rewarded those with a nuclear program and punished those who gave up theirs. Everyone with children knows, you reward that which you want more of, and punish that which you want less of. If we go on the assumption, Obama is not a drooling idiot, he has to know the message he is sending, as well as the inevitable result, that nuclear weapons will become more widely available to the planet’s oppressors. With that, he cannot be so stupid that he doesn’t know what that level of proliferation will lead to… nuclear war somewhere, sometime. There can be no other logical outcome. So, barring that Obama and the World’s leaders are witless, they must want a nuclear war. For what reason I cannot fathom, only a psychopath could…
Sincerely,
John Pepin
