Almost Onion-Worthy

Listening to NPR this afternoon, there was a story about the Nuke Summit in DC, but also about an alternate summit in Tehran.

Iran wasn't invited, I gather, to this little confab in DC, and why should they be? They are tied for first with North Korea for ruthlessly pursuing nuclear weapons while claiming it's not true.

And, in fairness, the United States is the only country that has proven it is willing to use nukes in warfare, though I think the fact that we haven't repeated the tactic in over six decades counts for something.

So the NPR guy had to say how the Iran conference was a little different in focus. And then they went and played nice and talked about what Iran claims.

I'm like, Yeah, the conference in Tehran is different because it's aim is really the direct opposite. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad would love nothing more than to see Al Queda set off a dirty bomb in Manhattan, or better yet Tel Aviv. If they could make it a mushroom cloud instead, so much the better especially if Iran can deny involvement.

I'm not interested in us invading another backward third world country, but Iran's nukes shouldn't be that hard to sniff out and destroy without an invasion. Satellites no doubt tell us where they likely have hot stuff, and we have a stunning arsenal of bunker-busting bombs and whatnot. We don't have to take out the whole Iranian Army or anything like that. If something looks like enriching uranium on satellite, just break it and let these poor Islamic theocratic idiots start over with their doomsday machine. Then, when they put it back together, break it again.
