NUCLEAR REACTION: After Iran, What’s Next?

As you are reading this posting, Russia and Iran are beginning the process of loading nuclear rods into Iran’s new nuclear generator. From this point on, the odds of Israel or any other country bombing and destroying that nuclear facility are greatly diminishing, simply because such an event would undoubtedly spread radioactivity around the nearby landscape and into the air where it could travel to another nearby country. Russia and Iran have professed an agreement between them whereby Russia will be removing any weapons-grade material from the reactor and taking it back to Russia. Of course, we know that the Russians and the Iranians are well-known for lying through their collective teeth.

For all intents and purposes, Iran is now a nuclear country and will shortly have an additional source of supply for bomb-making materiel. So, what happens now?

Well, the immediate concern is that we allowed Iran to do this. How can we now justify preventing Syria, Egypt, Yemen and other Middle East countries from following suit? We have just opened the door that we and other nations have long sought to prevent: nuclear proliferation. Furthermore, with this list of rogue nations being involved the odds of nuclear material or bombs falling into the hands of terrorists has just gone sky high.

No wonder Obama left town for ten days.

When you are dealing with the enemy, you should always deal from a position of strength. As long as we had nukes and they didn’t, our margin of strength was ultimately sufficient. Within a very short time, that margin is going to evaporate. You can expect that those countries, now led by Iran, will gear up their rhetoric against this country and its allies. You can expect an increase in the level of terrorist activities. You can expect a growing trend of belligerence.

I think I have to say that our President has not handled the issue of our national security at all well in this instance. And in determining what we should do next, we have to understand that we are saddled with Barack Hussein Obama in the White House for the next 28 months. Given what Obama has done to this country over the past 20 months, we must understand that we need a change in the balance of power in Washington.

Yes, this next election should be about removing the incompetent, holier-than-thou incumbents regardless of political party. But, there has now been a not-so-subtle shift in my thinking. Now more than ever, we need to isolate Obama and neutralize his ability to make decisions that will continue to adversely affect our national security, our economy, and our freedom.

This is not by any remote possibility about any mandate for the Republicans, although that undoubtedly will try to use it as such. But, I guess we’re going to have to vote Republican simply for the purpose of reigning Obama in. Then, we’re going to have to go after the Republicans and watch them like hawks.

Based on everything that is happening and the fact that the Republicans are still as dense as their Democrat counterparts, I predict that the Tea Party will evolve into a political party before the 2012 elections.

In the meanwhile, I guess we’ll all have to sit on our porches with our rifles in our laps, waiting for one of those nuclear-equipped terrorists to come by.

That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
