NUKES

NUKES:
Regarding I-Ran-A-Nuke:

I see Obama is calling for worldwide cooperation to ban nukes. I guess some N.W.O. or proxy of the U.N. is supposed to have moral enforcement authority. The thing is, the world is a seething cauldron of competing nations, cultures, and cults. And some of them are, let's face it, crazy. Imagine you're in a room of competitors, all armed, some of them sociopathic robbers. Do you, as leader, propose that everyone lay down their arms, and then, to give the example, lay yours down first? Only if you're quite the stupid one.

Assume, by dint of hard work, cooperation, and courage, a society has achieved power a level above every other society. Should you, as leader, deliberately reduce its power, to give sociopathic leaders a chance to catch up? Only if you're quite the stupid one.

Someone is always going to have a leg up on power. Do we want that person or country to be the one that is sociopathic? Do we really want to be so "fair" to obvious criminals and sociopaths as not to be "hypocritical?"

OK, I appreciate the concern among other nations that the U.S. may itself sometime fall under the leadership of a sociopath (or a malignant narcissist!). And recent events have exposed chinks in America's checks and balances and separation of powers. So, what is the solution? Capitulate to sociopaths? Or fix the chinks? Among other nations, how many really want America to unilaterally disarm? And of those, how many are led by sociopaths?

Two words to the Obamanots: Grow up.
