House of Eratosthenes

salvage‘s ignorance is luminescent. If naivete is a candle, this dude is a flare. He could light up your campsite for your 2 a.m. potty trip during a new moon, like it’s lunchtime.

How? What exactly is Iran going to do? Having a reactor doesn’t = bomb, having a bomb doesn’t = delivery system having a delivery system doesn’t = first strike capability. Considering Israel has a nuclear arsenal that could kill everyone in the ME I don’t think Iran is much of a threat. Even if they could launch their one or two nukes they’d be brought down before they came near Tel Aviv and Iran would be a smooth glass bowl.

Iran is as much a threat as Iraq was, that is not at all.

I love this mix of hubris and cowardliness that is the American wingnut; USA is the most powerful nation in the world BUH! BUH! THAT THIRD WORLD NATION WITH A FRACTION OF OUR MILITARY IS SSSAAACCRRRYY!!

Fear and hate, you just wallow in that crap endlessly.

There ya have it. Recognition of a possible threat == fear and hate.

And bad guys, there’s millions of people crawling all over our continent just like this guy. Say out loud “it’s a for a reactor not a bomb” and they believe it. They are the proponents of the Ostrich Doctrine. The Hakuna Matata foreign policy that has preceded our greatest successes in international relations. Yes…I remember reading that in history. Neville Chamberlain proclaimed “peace in our time,” and within six years we had it. Yeah. Right.

If he was a democrat, I’d say he has this attitude for the reason our democrats have this attitude. Which is, when you recognize a threat, you have to act on it, and when you act on it everyone who votes here is reminded that there are people in the world who want to do us harm…which there are…and when people think of that, they tend to vote for defense. democrats are opposed to defense — you look at their policies on all the issues, across the board, and the one consistency is that the only things worth defending from anything anywhere are things that have to do with democrat foreign and domestic policies. Things like abortion clinics. “Detainees” at Guantanamo. Things that attack other things.

That’s how I’d explain his ignorance if he was a democrat.

But salvage lives in another country, one that is dependent on the United States’ readiness, willingness and ability to defend things — to occasionally ignore what the democrats want us to do — for the defense of salvage‘s own country.

So I would have to chalk this up to plain old self-centeredness. When you say something is, or is not, a threat — you have to have a target in mind. Yeah, well, I think insofar as what salvage has in mind I’m going to have to agree with him a thousand percent. salvage is thinking about salvage. Not a threat? Yeah, if I’m a Mad Mullah and I’m in charge of governing Iran and I’ve got my thumb on a nuclear button that those stupid Yankees in the Evil West know nothing about…and I’m looking for a target…Canada’s going to be pretty far down on my list.

Whatever. Does he really expect people to think “Aw…I’m so glad salvage pointed this out — they may get a nuke, but they don’t have the delivery system! So we have nothing to worry about!” Well, I think he does. That’s the way he thinks. Nothing goes kaboom unless it’s spent the previous few minutes whistling through the air, like Luthor’s rockets in that first Superman movie. Ever.

Remember. This is not a lone wolf. He’s in lots of good company.

Lots.

It’s hard for me to label what Salvage does as thinking… honestly… but I know you’re the gracious type and so I applaud you…

“Ostrich Doctrine” was great.

But you topped it with “Hakuna Matada” Foriegn Policy. That’s just tasty. I’m gonna have to adopt it 😉

People like Salvage believe that it’s the weapon that is evil, just like the gun control freaks. We are but mere conduits through which the evil inherent is manifest. And of course if that were true, then it would be evil to have a weapon. But it’s the other way around.

What they don’t get is the evil is inherent in the user. If the user is not evil, there is no evil to be carried out through the weapon.

It’s the intent. The Iranian regime has a large amount of evil intent inherent in it. To allow it to obtain the weapon, the conduit to amplify the intent – the enforcement of will. In this case, evil will.

Of course, Salvage is a moral equivocist. Anyone with a nuclear weapon is a “threat”. Israel has one, Iran doesn’t. Ergo, Israel is more of a threat than Iran. And We… the US, are of course the biggest “threat” of all. ‘Cause we got more.

It’s bunk.

Threat to what? Let’s clarify that. Threat to what ideology(ies)?

Ask that question, and you can start to see patterns in those who align themselves against the the U.S. having, let alone exercising power.

Current totalitarian regimes, and those who wish to replace our government with their own totalitarian regimes. Neo-Marxists. Islamists. Environmentalists (in the religio-political sense of the word). Anarchists.

Get the picture?
