Why the Left Wants Iran to Get the Bomb
by Daniel Greenfieldh/t Gates of Vienna [FrontPageMagazine] Before Global Warming posters hung on the dingy walls of American classrooms, the atomic bomb was the original Great Bogeyman of the left. Nothing quite so demonstrated the madness of our war machine as our willingness to deploy weapons of mass destruction to stop Communism in its tracks. The self-righteous antics over nuclear weapons in literature, art, film, at protests and in papers are far too numerous to document. But you can still spot the occasional clunker with "One nuclear bomb can ruin your whole day" or "You can't hug a child with nuclear arms" peeling off one lopsided bumper. Just don't expect its owner to oppose Iran's nuclear program over its day-ruining hug-denying nature. ...Iranian nuclear weapons are good because they weaken America. Like Soviet nuclear weapons, they undermine American power. They force the United States to "negotiate" and submit to international law. The more nuclear weapons spread, the more the "hawks" will have to realize that they have no option but to disarm the United States and put their faith in some international order to achieve peace. ...A stronger Iran means a weaker America. And the left believes that a weaker America means a better world. Posted by: g(r)omgoru 2015-04-13 |
