Why Iran won’t build nukes

Or so says Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, vice president and prime minister of the United Arab Emirates, because, despite the war drums getting louder and louder….

“What can Iran do with a nuclear weapon?” he asked rhetorically. “For example, will they hit Israel? How many Palestinians will die? And you think if Iran hits Israel, their cities will be safe? They will be gone the next day.”

Makes sense, as far as it goes, especially coming from someone whose country is just fifty miles across the Persian Gulf from Iran. But do the Persian Mullahs have any sense? They haven’t made much so far.

Secession fantasies

The usual media idiots and their sycophant pols are frothing over Gov. Perry’s secession talk. But it makes a certain sense, from a fantasy perspective. They forget (but some of us don’t) that we have a lot of nuclear weapons sitting in white, concrete igloos a few miles north of Amarillo. A little forethought, this time, and we could make sure the feds didn’t try to blockade and invade again. If nothing else, we could threaten to sell the nukes on e-bay.
