We thank Captain Six for this article here, followed by the feature presentation:
My (Captain Six) personal opinion is that we should deter any nation from building or acquiring nuclear weapons, and the nations that do have them should strive to reduce their own stockpiles. However, I do not believe that any nation or group of nations has any right to dictate that sentiment upon another nation. So basically, I say yes, Iran should be allowed to have nuclear weapons if they are determined to. What right do we have to tell them "no" they can't build a nuke?
Because they are a threat? Let's take note here that Iran, the Persian people, have not attacked anyone in over 600 years. A much more peaceful track record than other nations who are armed to the teeth with nukes. Other nations that include the United States, who carried out a proxy war against Iran via Iraqi strongman and CIA asset Saddam Hussein. Look what we did to him in the long run too. With friends like that, who needs enemies, eh?
Speaking of which, let's have a look at what happens when you bow to western demands to abandon your nukes, and even offer to fight America's avowed enemy, the Al-Qaeda terrorists...
A Few Interesting Facts About Libya
The same thing that happens to any people who give up their guns, is exactly what happened to Quadaffy. The same reason why we, as American people, cherish our right to bear arms. It is not a right given by one power to another. It is an inherent God-given right. A right, which comes with responsibility of course, but a right nonetheless. When you give up that right, you are finished. Is it better to resist fascism by force, or go quietly into the night?
Now some folks point to Iran's Islamic theology as enough grounds to deny them nukes, by force if necessary. By that logic, that means that American citizens who are Muslims, or even Jews or devout Christians for that matter, should be denied a right to bear arms here in the U.S. So strike one on the religious rhetoric as far as I'm concerned.
But nukes are different than regular guns you say? I don't think so, but okay, let's have a look at that for a second. First, you have Pakistan which is a pretty hard-line Muslim theocracy themselves. If it weren't for their hard-line stance in favor of Islam, Pakistan would not even be a country at all, and would be a peaceful province of secular India. Instead, they are a Muslim fundamentalist state with nuclear weapons, that could attack Israel, but have never attacked anyone outside of their border dispute with India, and have only used conventional weapons.
Okay, can't do much about that now though. Maybe we missed that boat on that one, and let one religious theocratic state have a nuke, but we shouldn't do it again and we should take it away from them if we can. We should not support any state that is a religious theocracy that has nukes, right? Well, in case you missed the secret memo, Iran is not starting a nuclear Cold War race for the bomb with Israel. Israel already has nukes. Ironically enough, it seems that Israel got their nuke program started with the close support of apartheid-racist South Africa.
Now, having said all of that, I want to be clear. I am not an anti-Semite, I am not a Muslim, I am not a religious zealot of any kind. I believe in Israel's right to exist, as well as the right of Gaza and the West Bank to be unified as a nation. I am, however, extremely concerned about the heavy beating of the war drums in recent days, with the rhetoric ramping up to support yet another preemptive attack on a nation that has never attacked anyone.
I truly fear, that World War III is imminent, and it scares the hell out of me.
All reasons and politics aside, the fact remains that what you see in this video might very well depict events which we might view live in the next few months...
