Bush's World War Three
" We got a leader in Iran who has announced that he wants to destroy Israel. So I've told people that if you're interested in avoiding World War III, it seems like you ought to be interested in preventing them from have the knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon. I take the threat of Iran with a nuclear weapon very seriously...." (George W. Bush, 17 October 2007)
Grin and Laugh: "Here's his expression while he is saying the words "World War Three" (Huffington Post, 17 October 2007)
For the above missing Huffington Post photo ," Just imagine a Smirking Chimp holding a nuclear warhead in its hand, waving it wildly above its head ".
..............We are not living a sound and rational World where far-reaching decisions by the US President are based on an understanding of their likely consequences.
A World War III is no longer a hypothetical scenario.
During the Cold War, the concept of "mutual assured destruction" (MAD) was put forth. An understanding of the devastating consequences of nuclear war largely contributed to avoiding the outbreak of war between the US and the Soviet Union.
Today, in the post-Cold war era, no such understanding prevails. The specter of a nuclear holocaust, which haunted the world for half a century has been relegated to the status of "collateral damage".
US foreign policy under the NeoCons is based on a diabolical and criminal agenda. The "war on terrorism" is a lie; Iran does not constitute a threat to global security as confirmed by a recent IAEA report, Iran does not constitute a threat to Israel.
The US president is a liar, who believes his own lies.
While Iran's non existent nukes are said to constitute a lethal and deadly threat, so-called tactical nuclear weapons "Made in America" are described in Pentagon documents as "harmless to the surrounding civilian population".
In a bitter irony, those who decide on the use of nuclear weapons believe their own propaganda. A preemptive nuclear on Iran is upheld as a bona fide humanitarian undertaking which indelibly contributes to global security.
And now the US Head of State, who has a limited understanding of geopolitics, let alone geography, is hinting that if Iran does not give up its nonexistent nuclear weapons program, we might be reluctantly forced into in a World War III situation. Bush has insinuated that as Commander in Chief, he could decide to launch a war on Iran, which would result in World War III.
