The Unthinkable is Always Allowed

For quite some time the world has been kept abreast of Iran's dream of building and possessing a nuclear arsenal. We have repeatedly been supplied with time lines and timetables of their progress such as "within the next decade", or "within a few years", or the latest, "perhaps just months away." Is there really any doubt left, with the exception of the Obama White House, that Iran has the deadliest of intentions and are not just spinning centrifuges for the peaceful purpose of nuclear power? This is a country run by fanatics like al Qaeda and the Taliban who refute modernity at any price. Actually I think President Obama does believe Iran's true intent, he's just afraid to do anything about it.

So have others, and for quite some time. Think about it. Nazis, the Khmer Rouge, Darfur, communism, as well as countless other governments, have all been responsible for horrendous murder and mayhem yet all were allowed to happen. Someone, somewhere, is always keenly aware, all the while aiding and abetting all that transpires. We do it, they do it, we all do it, but why? Money. Filthy lucre. The root of all evil. No, I am not Michael Moore or agree that capitalism should be done away with. On the contrary. But there should be more interest paid and pressure applied to folks who profit from misguided and dangerous despots.

But I don't want this post to be about greed or trying to kill what a man does for a living. There will be plenty of that under cap and trade. No, I am interested in a world populated with an abundance of sound minds and good judgment that somehow cannot find the collective will to end nonsense when and where they see it. Rather than stand by flailing our fists at Iran and threatening sanctions for the next few months, or until a nuclear bomb goes off on Israel, lets destroy those factories now. Let's warn the people in cities like Qom, where the latest installation has been discovered, to go visit their relatives for a few days. Then we turn the lights out and every participating country with an airplane fly over and drop a bomb on these facilities. Israel can supply us all with the targets. End of threat. At least from Iran. Then let's see how eager some other idiot wishes to defy our new found strength and resolve.
