Uh no. That's what called seeing the world in one-color. Reality is somewhat more multifactorial.
Pakistan's cried "Uncle" and buckeled under. There was no need to attack as part of the deal with Musharaff. And it's likely that the news reports that were denied in the early post-9/11 era were probably true. The Pakistani nuclear deterrent is under our control. Israel has been repeatedly attacked by Arabs in spite of their nuclear deterrents. See recent events in Lebanon. The Israeli's didn't start it. The counterpunch was most appropriate. They didn't go far enough. That 10-mile strip should have been razed to the ground. North Korea has something akin to a nuclear firecracker but there is no reason to go there. Kim is not suicidal. And he has more to worry from China than us. Palestinians were not screwed out of a country. They were a deliberately created by problem by the arabs and the crisis maintained by the arabs. Please see actions by Jordan in the matter that created the exodus that resulted in the displaced population you have such concern for. A problem which could be solved overnight by killing the terrorist leaderships and recognizing property right and rule of law for the Palestinians. I will predict right here and right now, that if we don't strike Iran, Israel will. The nuke, certainly has defensive posture uses, but that's not the reason they want it. They want it to do serious mischeif. Realize that the Iranian leadership believes in an EndOfDays litany, and they think the Fire of Allah is the way to it. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jay P.

Let's do the math on this - Iraq, Iran and N Korea on "Axis of Evil" List. Iraq has no WMDs, but has oil, gets attacked. N. Korea has no oil but possibly nukes - Not attacked. Hmmmm. Doesn't look too much like rocket science to me - Pakistan - has Nukes Not attacked. Even Morrrreeee suggestive. Afghanistan - No Nukes. Has a proposed pipeline path - GETS ATTACKED. Well sheesh. Let's look at this a little further Israel - has US Jets and Choppers. Has nukes. Hates Muslims. Palestinians, no nukes - screwed out of their country and ignored at the peace table. Lebanese. No Nukes - attacked and bombed severely. Hmmmmm!!!! So if Israel hates me, and America Lusts for my oil, having a nuke seems to increase the odds I don't get attacked. I think the WHY of Iran wanting a Nuke is as plain as the nose on my face. It renders one Regime Change Resistant The thing that fills me with curiousity is why A.Q. Khan hasn't sold Iran the technology yet. ----- In any case - History is not a one sided story of Arabs and Muslims being fiends and evil. And anyone who wants to sell you that narrative does not have your best interests at heart and may even ask you for cash donations to "Continue the fight against the evil aliens" Fear is a tool to make a population pliant. Fear if the Arab, Fear of the Muslim is a political tool. Who's tool? What do they gain? Jay ~Meow!~ __________________________________________________________ Need a quick answer?
