« Attempted Democratic Voter Fraud | Main | Voter Fraud in Wisconsin Has Ties to Democratic Party » September 28, 2004Scary StuffIran is moving closer and closer to having The Bomb. Nukes. Mad theo-fascist Islamic clerics with nukes and a jihadist desire to wipe Israel from the map. Oh, and they sponsor, fund and ideologically and rhetorically support Islamist terror organizations worldwide. And they hate America. And their nuke facilities are said to be dispersed, hardened, and difficult to take out, making the airstrike option very iffy. John Kerry's solution is to give the Mad Mullahs of Tehran nuclear fuel if they promise not to build bombs. If you think that sounds insane, you're right. Belmont Club outlines the difficult choices and the dangers that lay ahead for the United States in dealing with Iran. My suggestion: a military strike, but one designed to take out the Iranian government itself, not the nuclear facilites. And by government I mean the faux-democratically elected Iranian parliament itself. If it could be done in a single barrage of missiles. Madmen can't build bombs and use them if they're dead. And the attack, if it succeded, would open the door for the tyrannized but pro-American population of Iran to rise up, mop up the remnants of the regime, and hold a real electon. And please, before you accuse me of being bloodthirsty or suggest that I am proposing we murder hundreds if not thousands of Iranians who would surely be killed in such a strike - elected officials, bureaucrats and nearby civilians - please realize that if the Mad Mullahs of Tehran ever use a nuke against Israel, or provide one to terrorists to use against us, or merely threaten to do so, we will have to kill all of them. The sooner we have a day of reckoning with Iran, the lower the body count will be on both sides. Taking out the Iranian government, if we could do it, would be the most moral thing we could do to end the Iranian nuke crisis. Posted in War on Terror

Iranian mullahs with nukes is the key enabler of my nightmare scenario. The mullahs are already on record stating that millions of Iranian deaths would be an acceptable price to pay for the elimination of Israel. These people cannot be deterred by the threat of nuclear retaliation. I fear that if they get their hands on the bomb, they will use it on Israel. Israel will use its own nukes in retaliation not just against Iran, but also their other enemies in the Middle East. Even if by some miracle the exchange doesn't go global we'd be looking at millions of deaths, a massive humanitarian disaster among the survivors and a devestating blow to the global economy.
