WORLD READIES FOR WAR

Chinese and Russian embassies were attacked throughout Syria as the people there thumbed their nose at the countries who have prolonged their suffering for their own selfish interests. Meanwhile, it is being reported that British Special Forces and Qatari soldiers have entered Syria to help the rebels fight back. It is a foregone conclusion now that at the very least NATO and Arab countries will be arming and assisting the rebels and making this conflict even bloodier.

More and more respectable individuals are starting to see the danger in having a nuclear armed Iran. Historian Niall Ferguson wrote a compelling article for Newsweek about the myths of what an attack upon Iran might occur afterward. He correctly notes that the government of Iran is based on religious idiocy and it is exactly this non-conformist irrationality that may lead to them using nukes at the drop of a hat. There is a reason we don't allow small children to have guns. Should we let them have nukes as well? Iran has not proven they are evolved enough to handle such a responsibility and until they do, a no nuke policy must by taken into effect. This is not an advocacy for war. It is an understanding that sometimes tough choices have to be made. If we wait, the consequences may be an all out nuclear war that will exterminate mankind.

As I write this, plans are being drawn up to attack Syria. Embassies around the world are being told to prepare in case an attack happens. The world readies for war and the public at large are mostly unaware, uncaring or both. Under no circumstances can Iran be allowed to get a nuclear weapon and they are definitely trying to build one. It would be suicide for them not to. Everyone sees that we treat Pakistan and North Korea way different than Libya and Somalia. And while these rouge nations may have nukes, they are less likely to use them. Both are run by non-secular militaries, while Iran is run by religious extremists who do not fear death when Allah is waiting for them with open arms.

If we had spent the last forty years finding alternate fuel methods, Iran wouldn't matter. The Middle East wouldn't matter. Russia wouldn't matter. But we didn't due to sloth and greed and now the bill has come due and we don't have enough to pay the check. Swell.

Iran, unlike Iraq and Afghanistan, is a real threat, the first one in a long time and I don't think people can notice the difference. When you cry wolf over and over, people stop paying attention. And that's exactly what's occurring now. This is real problem, as is Syria's lack of concern for their own people. Within the next few weeks, a war is going to begin and it going to be ugly, it going to kill lots of people and it will be fought in our our own streets. Those FEMA camps are going to have lots of company soon, especially if your of Iranian descent. Muslims are going to be the new Jews, the new scapegoats for everything wrong with us. And that is not okay.

Pray that things turn out all right because if history and experience tells us anything, we're probably screwed.
