A Foreign Policy Guru Says In A Deep Southern Louisiana Drawl, "We Shud Nuke Them Basturds!"
Some Canadian columnist has come up with an amazingly simple solution for one of the most pressing foreign policy issues of the day: We should nuke Iran.
Canada should nuke Iran? O...k then. The man is clearly very serious, so I can't help but wonder: did he come up with that gem himself or did someone not affiliated with his employer slip him a little gift in return for a 'soivice'?
As if his solution isn't already bad enough, he also says:
The usual suspects will complain. The post-Christian churches, the Marxists, the fellow travelers and fifth columnists. But then, the same sort of people moaned and condemned in 1938. They were clearly wrong then. They would be just as wrong now.
I'm not sure what exactly a "post-Christian" church is, but it seems to imply that REAL Christian churches would not object to nuking countries that have both a) regimes we find objectionable because they will not recognize our inherent supremacy, and b) lots of oil that America's soccer moms will need so they can continue to off-road in their SUVs. Aside from the the fact that comparing Iran to Nazi Germany is disingenuous at best (I seem to have forgotten which countries Iran has invaded or even threatened lately), the problem is that nuclear strikes - "tactical" or otherwise - will kill a lot of people, and as quaint as it may sound to our foreign policy guru, I think God had something to say about killing. What was it? Oh yeah:
You shall not murder. - Exodus 20:13 (NIV)
