Times changed. In the second half of the last century, a nation could go about minding it's own business and other major nations could get into a fight and blow up the world, including that nation. Fortunately, the major nations were rational and mutually assured destruction was enough to insure no destruction.
Times continue to change. It is generally assumed that Israel has nuclear weapons. There is also no controversy that Iran is getting closer in it's efforts to build nuclear weapons, so Iran's position towards Israel is alarming. In an address at the United Nations today, September 24, 2012, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad referred to Israel as a fake regime that will be eliminated. Nothing new here, he and fellow leaders in his regime routinely state their objective to wipe Israel off the map.
Question: If you're Israel, what are you thinking as Iran get's close to having the weapons it needs to make good on it's threat to destroy you? Maybe, self preservation?
Continuing, we are very close to living in a time when a nation can go about minding it's own business and a religiously fanatical regime that isn't rational by other's standard (very rational by their own) can attack another smaller nation and start a war that blows up the world, including the nation that's minding it's own business.
Recently, Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu was in the U.S. and requested if possible, to meet with President Obama. Israel projects that Iran is only six months away from reaching it's nuclear objective. Not surprisingly, Israel's concern is whether or not it can count on the U.S. and if so, what united position the U.S. and Israel can present to Iran.
Question: If you were Israel, would you wait until Iran has the same weapons you have before you act for your self preservation?
Perhaps an understanding of the situation illustrates how completely inept and unqualified President Obama is for the job he currently has. His concern is that Israel is trying to influence him and he will not be influenced by "outside noise". Unfortunately, the President didn't have an open spot on his calendar, but the good news is he was able to make his scheduled photo-ops with Jay-Z and Beyonce.
That outside noise is the alarms going off that we are in greater danger off being plasmatized by a nuclear holocaust than we have been since the Cuban Missile Crisis. The very reason we are at the brink is because the President hasn't had a competent foreign policy.
If Israel decides they can't depend on the U.S. they won't make a public announcement and publish their decision to attack Iran. They will just do it! Again, as with so many other issues, Obama will be quick to point out it's not his fault, he didn't know anything about it. He's very believable when he says the second half of his standard excuse because he truly is ignorant. That's the problem!
Iran is a problem, but that's not new. Do you know where the president stands on the issue of Iran getting nukes? He's had plenty of time to decide and let Iran know with authority what we are willing to do for OUR SELF PRESERVATION! Do you know anything specific of what his intentions are? We all know what his dream is.
Does anyone know any specific details of how he intends to pay for his dream? The rich are going to pay for it? Okay, specifics please, has he defined who the rich are? People who make over $50,000/ yr., $100,000/yr., $1,000,000/yr., what??? He never says what! Can we stop chasing the dangling carrot long enough to ask for some specifics? He's been in office 4 yrs. and specifics are suppose to be his advantage over his challenger!
Of course, here in the U.S. we aren't very knowledgable about what's going on in the real world. There is only so much time in the day and so we have to make the tough decisions and decide what's most important. We have discerned the value of the NFL and the devastation to the game being wreaked by replacement refs. Can't they do something about that??? It's throwing the stats off and messing up our fantasy football leagues. You see, we know all the subtle nuances of fantasy football and that's going to save us from being plasmatized.
