Arms Control Fantasy
My maternal grandparents owned a liquor store in what progressively became a rougher neighborhood. They suffered nine armed robberies, and I am sure, hoped that the police who responded to these assaults had the most comprehensive training and the best weapons available to protect besieged merchants and innocents in the community from the felons. I am also sure that my grandparents would have preferred that the thugs did not even have access to a sharp stick or a rock. The law-abiding people of the world generally recognize that those who enforce the rules need state of the art weaponry to protect the sheep from the wolves who would harm them. So, it is or should be with the US nuclear arsenal, one possessed by a good and moral country that protects nations from nuclear peril imposed by malign nations across the globe. That is why those with good sense must stand opposed to the bizarre moral inversion of Barack Hussein Obama's new nuclear use doctrine, as Obama is so filled with naivete that he operates in his own pretend realm where all polities are morally equal and none should have access to the world's most dangerous weapons. There is a glaring flaw in Obama's reasoning. The world's leading nuclear-armed democracies (the US, the UK, France, Israel with her alleged atomic arsenal that stands as a deterrent to genocide) have been, are, and should continue to be the world's policemen, while totalitarian countries, who are the thugs around the globe, must be prevented by these policemen from ever acquiring nuclear weapons that they would use to extort their neighbors or as is the case with a nation led by religious fanatics as in Iran, use atomic weapons for the purpose of trying to summon the Mehdi by initiating the End Times. America's nuclear weapons have served as a net positive for the world by fostering stability and contributing to good order, but if a less scrupulous nation, namely Iran, gains nukes, the end of the world may be drawing near.
