Liechtenstein or Kuwait?
Why does the country of Liechtenstein exist? It is a historical anomaly, like
Luxembourg, San Marino and Andorra. Should they be wiped off the face of
the earth? If you are a big country with a strong army and a violent belief
system, you could threaten one or more of them, and even possibly try to
destroy them.
In the world, out of 191 countries at the UN, there are 98 like Israel with
a population of 6 million people, or less. Among these other countries are
Paraguay, Laos, Slovakia, Denmark, Libya, Jordan, Finland, Nicaragua,
Norway, New Zealand, Ireland, Costa Rica, Lebanon, Lithuania, Armenia,
Uruguay, Georgia, Kuwait, etc...But, only one of them, Israel, is actually
threatened with extinction by a big strong, powerful country, in this case
Iran with a population of 62 million, ten times as big. Can you imagine if any
one of these countries was threatened with extinction what the international
community would do. Would they just sit by and let it happen? Probably!
Except if they have oil, like Kuwait, and then they would go to war over the
principle of supporting the rights of small countries to exist.
If the international order means anything it should mean that big countries
cannot threaten to destroy small countries with nuclear or conventional
weapons. Yet, that is what the elected President of Iran has done over
and over again. This is no chance comment, no off the cuff remark, this
is intentional national policy. It sounds ludicrous, but that is what they
intend to do. So what are we waiting for?
Oh yes, a small matter of verification. We must be sure that they can
actually destroy us, before we could actually take any action. Or rather we
should leave it to the big boys (bigger than Iran) to take care of it
diplomatically. Except that everyone knows that diplomacy will never work
in this case.
They said that Saddam Hussein had WMD, and they were wrong, they said
he had contacts with terrorists, and they were wrong, so there is a finite
possibility that they are wrong in this case. But, we know without a shadow
of doubt that Iran has developed uranium enrichment capability, because they
just announced it and celebrated. We are sure that they support terrorist
organizations, because they have been funding Hizbollah in Lebanon, Islamic
Jihad and also Hamas in the PA for years and just announced a m$50
payment to the Hamas-led PA. We know they have missile delivery
capability, because they have tested their Shihab missiles. So what are we
waiting for?
We are waiting to see if the US will indeed uphold the charter of the UN
and in order to preserve the peace, prevent the little matter of a sovereign
member of the UN being wiped out (together with a goodly number of
Muslims) by nuclear warheads Let's hope they don't wait to see if Israel
is actually going to be incinerated. Well, I suppose like last time, when we
lost 6 million Jews during WWII, we should sit and wait for it to happen to
know that they really mean business.
