Hunkered Between Santorum and Paul Lies Peace Through Total War
Do the readers really believe the Iranians are dedicated to our destruction? They all want to commit suicide so they can romp with 72 virgins? Hmm, this picture doesn’t match with the Persians I’ve known. It doesn’t fit with the history I’ve read about Persia. Admittedly that is only a few books.
Why don’t the Russians fear their neighbors as we seem to? Why no panic in India, China or Turkey, all within easy missile distance? Do they also hate this life?
Have those who are eager for war against Iran thought about the potential blow back?
I don’t like the Iranian government and would not mind seeing their current leaders strung up on telephone poles. If you claim they are an existential threat to the United States please show strong evidence.
Lastly, the nuclear genii is out of the bottle. Pakistan has these weapons for crying out loud. We should focus on defense against these attacks, rather than preventing their development in distant bunkers hundreds of feet below ground. For now, we have little to fear from Iranian nukes and we have plenty of time to prepare for their possible threat in the next one hundred years, or more. Iran is a relatively backward country and nuclear efforts are likely to bankrupt the nation. They lack an industrial infrastructure.
