Nukes for everyone, paid for by U.S. consumers
So todays' buzz is all about the North Koreans and their "nuke lite" test. The hand ringng and blame game machines are operating at full throttle. Jimmy Carter launched his salvo at Bush in the NY Times, the Fox network fires back and trashes Clinton.
This is all folly!
Our trade deficits with the world are fueling a virtual cornicopia of soon-to-be owners of nukes in their driveway. Since we have already pawned off some of our missle technology, the world grows smaller.
Business opportunities have trumped any sense of moral compassing or national security interest. I don't suggests an isolationists policy, nor a disengagement from world commerce. However, we need to prepare for the logical, predictable and envitable consequences of our Wall Street driven political centricity.
The exclusivity of nuclear deterence is fading. The access to WMD's in places ironically other than Iraq are growing. Here's my four step plan...
1) Minimize the trade deficit which is increasingly driven by petroleum (about 750 billion annually).
2) Find the next big thing first...space based lasers, sonic weapontry, star war missle defense etc.
3) The enemy of my enemy is my friend...Japan needs nukes, as does South Korea..if everyone can nuke each other the world might become a more respectful place. If nothing else, somebody else can handle Kim Jong Il's mental illness and need to pick saber rattling over farming as a national pasttime.
4) Recognize that the most powerful weapon might be an assassins bullet, well timed and properly aimed. If a world leader demostrates the inability to be trusted with WMD, don't make the entire country pay the price. Shut him/her up the old fashion way.
I preferred the old CIA when they did terrible things fairly well. As opposed to today when they do well-intended things badly.
What is it with the beige leisure suits and short nutty mad men? Just tell the sharp shooter aim for the guy not wearing a tie!
This is of course political satire and not a call to action. Wars must be declared before heads of state are legitimate targets.
However, the age old question becomes relevant again,...if you were alive in 1937 and knew Hitler would be responsible for the deaths of 50 million people...would you be justified in ending his life?
PC DISCLAIMERS; Offer void where prohibited, children require adultsupervision, don't try this at home, responses to this offer must be postmarked yesterday, not available in all states, good while limited supplies last and finally...MY HUMBLE APOLOGIES TO THE APPEASERS WHO THINK THAT THIS IS TOO HARSH A BLOG-POST AND THAT WE SHOULD TRY TULIPS INSTEAD OF DAISY-CUTTERS so that we can have 900 cars burned and rioting in our nations capitol because some Dutchman with a crayon illustrated the prophet Muhammad in an unfavorable light!
