Real Terrorist Treats

_____________________________________________________
Date Line June 5, 2007

Russia and United States discuss Iran and Iranian nuclear power. Is there a threat? Could Iran get a nuclear bomb and use it?

DUH! That is a distraction from reality. The answer becomes cute; there is no real threat from nuclear bombs unless a nation wishes to flag itself from nuclear destruction.

OK. We are faced with suicide bombers; individuals who care so little for their own lives, and the lives of others, that they will die at their own hands.

What is a suicide bomber? At their highest psychological state, and within an appropriate social context, they are soldiers willing to attack gun emplacements straight on. They are “heros” of the kind we seek our children to be; if we are stupid enough to want to have children so they can die.

And therein lies the problem. There are parents who will sent their children off to war. There are parents who care so little for their own seed that they will cheer its destruction. And there are people so stupid that they do not get it. Instead they yell, “support the troops.”

“Troops” are children, yours and theirs, who are sent out to die in a cause which will enrich those who stay behind, or avoid death. There is no meaning in death for those who are not victorious.

The victor is the one who enjoys the spoils; and, not always, is the one who won the battle. Economics is funny that way. The United States “won” WWII; our factories were in place and safe, the Japanese and Germans lost; they were forced to build all new factories.

Within a generation, America was faced with the need to replace all its antiquated factories and the Germans and Japanese were producing products which dominated world markets; The losers had modern, economical, production systems, and the winners were antiquated.

Who will win?

In the current battle, as I have mention and alluded to, before, those who own the Middle Eastern oil that is NOT in production due to this conflict, are the winners.

That oil will be pumped. Eventually production will resume and it will be when our domestic supplies have been depleted. Only when our domestic supplies are depleted will it be worthwhile for al-Qaeda types to focus on their own domestic conquest.

We will win by paying twice for the oil. First we will pay to delay its recovery, and second we will pay the premium which accrues to a scarce, but necessary, commodity. Iraq will win; those who rule Iraq will win; and we will be their servants.

Who are these suicide bombers? They are the same criminals who rob banks and risk death; except that they go out knowing they will die.

Who are these suicide bombers? Are they not people who have no purpose, no love, no justification, no true intellect? They might be educated; but they lack the intelligence needed to survive; they lack the spirit needed to endure life; they are drug addicts lost in some drug haze of “spiritual” stupidity.

Terrorists are Creationists. The two are the same. Creationists argue that they serve a deity who is a liar. They argue that, while everything argues for a billion year old world, the world is six thousand years old.

Creationists argue that nuclear science is wrong. That half lives which produce stable metal from radioactive are false; that the stable and radioactive were produced together as they are. Creationists support nuclear power plants.

Nuclear power? Thirty years of use, a thousand years of radioactive danger from the waste. Calculate the economics on the thirty years; ignore the thousand years. Why would Iran, or any hostile force, want nuclear power plants?

Not for bombs. They want the waste.

The waste requires no fancy delivery system; requires no launch which can be tracked back to its source; it requires a small quantity of explosive material, which is always locally available (google “improvised explosive device”), and a cubic inch, less than 10 cubic cm, of waste. BINGO! Dirty bomb; and slow death for thousands.

Note George Bush promotes nuclear power; but never discusses the waste problem. George Bush talks of nuclear bombs; but would never discuss the availability of terrorist tools on our own soil; tools which include all the nuclear waste awaiting “permanent” storage.

For that matter; think about our great leaders, those who would take power in 2009, they all talk bull and ignore real threats. Love it!
