The Threat of Iran
Recently, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ranted in the terrorist-friendly United Nations declaring Iran’s right to enrich nuclear fuel. Of course, Mahmoud claims Iran is engaging in nuclear fuel activities for “peaceful purposes” while the United States is trying to play “nuclear apartheid” with Iran. In other words, the Iranian President says “Trust me.” Can we really trust Iran?
Well, let’s see. Iran sponsors the premier terrorist organization in the world, Hezbollah, with lots and lots of petro dollars. Also, Iran is sending terrorists into Iraq to stir the Muslim pot and create unrest for the Iraqis as they make headway toward a new constitution. I think Mahmoud should re-think the “peaceful purpose” and “nuclear apartheid” part of his speech.
Then yesterday, the European Union decided against refering Iran to the UN for violations of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty.
Iran is a serious problem. I’m currently reading an excellent book on Iran’s nuclear ambitions called Atomic Iran. Author Jerome Corsi warns about the danger of Iran and how their funneling of money to different terrorist organizations combined with their unquenchable ambition for nuclear weapons presents a clear and present danger to America’s national security. He also has some great one-liners. Here’s one worth remembering:
If Osama bin Laden could find a state that would appoint him its ambassador to the United Nations, the U.N. no doubt would have a seat for him in the General Assembly.
Once again, the world community buckles and refuses to stand up to Iran. We Americans live in troubling times and an Iran with nuclear armaments will increase those troubles dramatically.
