Iran's missle testing and the emminence of World War 3
For years I have said that World War 3 is upon us and that when it comes America-in the eyes of much of the world-will be considered the bad guy. I said also that I believed the 3rd world war will be as much a war of culture and economics as it will be a war of weapons and that the main battle grounds of this new world war would take place in the middle east-mostly centered around Israel's presence there and the USA's support of that country. When I first started making this claim-in the late 90's-I gave a time frame of 10-15 years before this war would be in full swing...I don't need to go into a history lesson of what has happened in the middle east (and especially Iraq and Afghanistan) since the World Trade Center was brought down by terrorists on 9/11-everyone around the world knows all too well of these things-but every single one of those events and conflicts were 'scirmishes' which I believed were precursors to start of World War 3, and now Iran enters the fray in a big way. Early this week, Iran's leader-Mahmoud Ahmadinejad-launched as many as 9 long and medium range missle's with ranges of as much as 1200 miles-long enough to reach Israel. According to media and military reports, these missle 'testings' were in response to a military excercise conducted last month by Israel that was said to be preparation for an air campaign agaisnt Iran in the near future to knock out Iran's nuclear facilities. Iran's desire for nuclear weapons is well publicized and Ahmadinejad has no problem hiding his desire to acquire and build nuclear weapons for the specific purpose of wiping Israel off the planet-which his long range missle's bring him one step closer too...What is now happening with Iran, Israel and, by extension, the USA is some very scary stuff. We all know the history of Israel in the middle east (and the desire of every other nation in that region to see Israel's demise), and it's obvious why Israel would want to make a pre-emptive strike against Iran to prevent them from acquiring nuclear weapons, hell the entire world should be willing to do the same. But, apparently, only Israel is willing to stand up to Iran-and the USA should let them have at it. Israel has proven more than able to defend itself over the years and if we (the USA) aren't financially or militarily willing to join them in going after Iran and Ahmadinejad (who, along with N. Korea are the biggest threats to the western world today) then we need to step aside and let Israel fire away. I say all this because it seems like the US government is doing nothing but giving Iran time to build nuclear weapons via the stupid and rediculus negotiation process going on through the U.N. right now in an effort to get Iran to stop its pursuit of nuclear weapons-what a joke! It sickens me that we have a bunch of pussies working for us at the highest levels of our government. No, I'm not saying we should be willing to drop the bomb for any reason at all, but when nations like N. Korea and Iran show blatant disregard for the rest of the world and openly declare their desire for nuclear weapons for the purpose of launching them at their enemies then someone needs to step in militarily and put a fucking stop too it. And since the U.N. doesn't have the balls to do it, then, it seems, it's left up to us here in the USA. We are, after all, the world's only current "super power" and even though we in the common public hate the idea of the USA being the world's "police force", someone has to do it, and who better than us? But the current issue with Iran is now out of our hands. GWB is about to leave office and has no desire to start yet another war that he cannot finish and Congress isn't willing to pass the serious resolutions needed to put in Iran in check. And even with much of our military in Iraq, the USA seems to not be in the right geographical or 'geopolitical' position to assist Israel with the military action they are obviously willing to take against Iran to protect their nation and its people, then the USA needs to be willing to step aside and let Israel do what it must to protect itself for the future...I started this blog out talking about my belief that World War 3 is upon us, do you see why now?
