We are starting to hear that Middle East countries are trying to get nuclear weapons. Is this in response to the instability in other countries or the Iranian threat?
Iran definitely is an issue. When you have a leader who threatens the destruction of a neighboring country and is not condemned, you know there is a concern. If Abadingdong would drop the bomb on Israel, how long would it be before he would go after other neighboring countries? Who would be next, Saudi Arabia? For that reason, I can understand the desire for them to get a bomb, as a deterrent.
However, the instability of Egypt, Libya, Tunisia and possibly Pakistan and Syria makes this entire region a bomb, primed for explosion. Why would the world want to have this region primed with nuclear weapons? Are we suicidal?
Having unstable nations run by religious zealots whose religion encourages its believers to kill unbelievers (potentially with nuclear weapons) is a recipe for disaster. If one believed they would go to heaven by killing millions, why would one not drive a bomb into a neighboring country and explode it? No need for expensive and complicated delivery systems, just drive a truck.
The world better wake up before we face Armageddon! We must NOT allow these nations to get the bomb! This region is not the same as most other countries that currently have the bomb. With Russia, France, England, we had leaders who understand the concept of "mutually assured destruction." With Abadingdong, there no concern with other human life and the more of his enemies that he destroys the higher his position will be in heaven.
The UN (for whatever good it can do) and the rest of the civilized world needs to join together to prevent these nations from getting these very dangerous weapons.

: Saudi Arabia plans to obtain nuclear weapons, but its nuclear power will be only for “peaceful use,” a former intelligence official told a security conference.
The Sunni Muslim kingdom last summer said it would build 16 nuclear reactors for energy, but Faisal’s remarks were the first indication, at least in public, that Saudi Arabia may acquire nuclear weapons.
The Islamic Republic is on a collision course with the West – and Shi’ite Muslim Arab countries – as it proceeds towards the capability of both manufacturing and delivering a nuclear weapon.

: Saudi Arabia plans to obtain nuclear weapons, but its nuclear power will be only for “peaceful use,” a former intelligence official told a security conference.“Our efforts and those of the world have failed to convince Israel to abandon its weapons of mass destruction, as well as Iran… therefore it is our duty towards our nation and people to consider all possible options, including the possession of these weapons,” said Prince Turki al-Faisal, quoted by AFP.
He added, “A (nuclear) disaster befalling one of us would affect us all.”
The Sunni Muslim kingdom last summer said it would build 16 nuclear reactors for energy, but Faisal’s remarks were the first indication, at least in public, that Saudi Arabia may acquire nuclear weapons.Israel has maintained a policy of “nuclear ambiguity,” meaning it does not confirm or deny assumptions that it has nuclear weapons, perhaps as many as several hundred.
However, Saudi Arabia’s biggest worry is Iran, run by a Shi’ite Muslim regime that openly says it wants to head a new Islamic empire in the Middle East.
The Islamic Republic is on a collision course with the West – and Shi’ite Muslim Arab countries – as it proceeds towards the capability of both manufacturing and delivering a nuclear weapon.Saudi Arabia focused on peaceful use of nuclear energy at the energy conference in the oil-rich monarchy. “Once our nuclear project is complete and we have satisfied the kingdom’s demand for electricity,” Saudi Arabia plans to export electricity, said Khalid Al-Sulaiman, vice president of renewable energy at King Abdullah City.
As the world looks for alternative energy sources, Saudi Arabia, which produces 20 percent of the world’s crude oil, is looking to a future of not being dependent on oil to keep its economy strong.

Eric Yoffie, president of the Union for Reform Judaism, said after the president’s remarks that on fundamental issues “there’s a great deal of sympathy for the president’s positions and the president’s values.”
ReplyDelete“This notion that somehow there’s this hostility and antagonism between the president and the Jewish community is simply not true,” Yoffie said.

Obama tells them "all options are on the table." He's sounding more like a neocon every day. Vote Ron Paul.
I read the article from businessweek.com and think that the article shows how out of touch some Jews are! How can one President treat another leader as poorly as Obama has treated Netanyahu? Not only having him arrive through the back door, cancelling meetings,etal. On top of that saying that Israel must accept 1967 borders (with negotiations of the exact lines) which are totally unacceptable.
ReplyDeleteOn the Iran issue, the WORLD must insist that all nuke materials must be removed from Iran. They cannot be trusted to use them only for peaceful uses.
