Nuclear Proliferation

-
I am strongly opposed to nuclear proliferation. In the medium to longer term this may be a more critical problem that pollution and global warming.
-
And I really don’t have much of anything good to say about Islam. But I also don’t like hypocrites. America is a country that is supposed to be honest. -
-
So how do we justify not really being all THAT upset that the following countries have nuclear weapons: North Korea, Pakistan, India, Israel, France, and Britain? The answer is obvious: The Iranians are crazed religious fanatics. Well, so was Jim Jones, and so is the fundamentalist wing of the Republican party in America.
-
Ok, the Iranians are not only crazy, they are the bad guys. If this were to come out the mouth of Bush or Cheney a lot of people would say, “Well, duh, so are you!”
-
It is clear that doing everything possible to stop proliferation of nuclear weapons is vital. But the American people should be provided with a more intellectual reason than, “Those rag heads are the axis of evil.”
