Criminal Nations

Iran is a rouge nation with a pungent for the destruction of other nations, cultures and ways of life. In our country, where we have among the most liberal gun laws in the world, we still limit criminals who have demonstrated violent behavior from possessing firearms. Why then can not the world community limit what weapons of mass destruction a rouge nation like Iran can possess? Allowing Iran to obtain nuclear weapons would be like arming every killer in America with M-16 rifles, 44 caliber hand guns and hand grenades.

Iran claims it is there right to obtain nuclear capability. Much like the common criminal gives up their rights as imposed by law, the world should enforce the same policy on Iran and North Korea. In addition, sanctions should be imposed on any country who assists this effort for aiding a abetting a criminal state. The Chinese created the North Korean problem just as the Europeans, both eastern and western, created the Iranian problems and they should be required to resolve them to the standards set by the world community.

The Iranian people need to take control of their country and require that their vast oil resourced are used to support growth for the people and not fuel to the grow of weapons of mass destruction.

It was recently reported that less than 15% of the Iranian people support the hardliner government and most of them are employed by the government. The leadership’s greatest fear is its own military that could launch a coup at any time. Perhaps the best way for Iranian leaders to insure power is to provoke a conflict that will result in the weakening of the Iranian military and make the Iranian people fear something else more than it does its own leadership with the resulting propaganda.

Perhaps it is a good thing that coalition forces are on two of the Iranian borders and at sea.
