Hey Buddy, Can You Spare a Nuke?

An attack on Iran could bring about World War Three. And America doesn't care.

There has been much loose talk about attacking Iran (or ‘obliterating’ in Hillary’s parlous posturing presidential parlance), that is, the probable use of nuclear weapons to assail yet another nation that has threatened no one, that much maligned country should immediately take steps to ‘bully-proof’ itself before it’s too late.

I notice that almost the moment that North Korea acquired (or was thought to have acquired) a nuclear weapon, the screeching Washington warmongers and their brethren in the MSM became eerily silent. It was if N.K.’s acquisition represented an instant ‘Get-out-of-the-Axis-of-Evil-Free’ card, and focus shifted to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran, who was much vilified for endlessly repeated misquoted statements regarding Israel and treated with astonishing discourtesy by both CBS’ Sixty Minutes and Columbia University President Lee Bollinger, who acted like a freshman dunce.

Every so often (quite often, actually) America drinks a supersized Slurpee and then gets brainfreeze and forgets certain important facts. Like its Native genocide. Or slavery. Or commie hysteria. Or dozens of insane wars and incursions. Or that in 1953 it got rid of an elected Iranian Prime Minister and installed the nefarious Shah to rule by torture and terror. It was all about oil. Oops! Forgot! Brainfreeze, not our fault! Start over!

I wondered if Iran could get one of those ‘Get-out-of-the-Axis-Free’ cards. Depending on how reckless the bomb-droppers were (probably pretty reckless, if past experience is an indicator) a lot of Iranian lives might be spared, a lot of radiation prevented from entering an atmosphere already contaminated with all kinds of crap and depleted uranium, and since a lot of oil passes through the Strait of Hormuz, well, we could continue to guzzle the stuff at a mere $1.30 a liter or whatever it’s gone up to by now. Bonus!

But where to get such a thing?

Bud, thank you. That's a truly brilliant plan, but after Henry Kissinger winning a Nobel, I just don't think my fragile and tenuous grasp of reality would maintain if George W got one too...I would have to be heavily sedated with vodka for the foreseeable future.

Yes John, I am with you. Nice read!

But I've already gone by this limited solution. Ive tried emailing GWB with this plan (He'd win the Nobel Peace Prize for sure): Why not get together with all the nuclear nation's leaders and get everyone to give them to the UN to divide up equally and hand back to every country on the planet an equal number. I guarantee we'll see an era of unprecedented peace then!
