So, now it’s biting us in our ass! I know starting off with such a bold statement will raise loads of eyebrows, and many people are wondering what I am speaking about. I am speaking about Iran. Yes, once again the previous administration ignored information, which is vital to the safety and security of the people of the United States of America and the world.
This has led to the latest development in international security and a new spin on government-sponsored terrorism. Iran’s appearance in the international arena is a byproduct in the failure of the leadership of the past and present administration in their efforts to deal with Iran.
Currently, Iran is a major threat to the national security of many nations surrounding it such as Israel and even the fragile Iraq. I know some of you may ask, “So what does that have to do with the USA?” Well, for those of you who have forgotten, this country has troops in that region that can be killed if Iran launches a nuclear weapon. Additionally, Iran can launch one of those bombs into the oil fields of Saudi Arabia.
If this happens, there could be a major setback in the progress of the United States of America due to this nation’s dependency on oil from Saudi Arabia.
It baffles me to see that the current administration of Iran can develop two nuclear bombs over the years and the previous and present administrations did very little to prevent it from occurring. Instead, the previous administration sought to go after weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. The irony of it all is that to this day, no weapons of mass destruction have been found and that country is not in a better position than it was in under Sadam Hussein.
This is my huge question: why wasn’t Iran invaded instead of Iraq? Iran was, and is, a much greater threat to the stability of the Middle East and the financial interests of the USA in that region.
Another major issue that has developed is Iran providing assistance to Venezuela in developing the large amounts of Uranium deposits in their nation. This shows that if this issue is not dealt with in a speedy and efficient manner, that South America could become a new stomping ground for nuclear proliferation.
Thus, another Russia could very well be in our back yard. This is something we cannot as a nation allow or sit idly by and let occur. We must act now on Iran and Venezuela to prevent them from carrying out havoc within the international community.
On the diplomatic side of this entire event, it is very much puerile. We see nations such as China not easily cooperating with efforts to pressure Iran into giving up their nuclear bombs. This shows that China does not give a damn about international security. What is even much more frightening is that I am sure that China knows that those nuclear bombs can be launched into Saudi oil fields.
China is very much aware of the importance of these oil fields to the United States of America’s economy, and they don’t care. This is the country our nation is allowing to get more and more powerful everyday because we continue to purchase their goods and services and they continue to hold us by the balls when they buy our debt.
Because of China and their stance, it is extremely important that we boycott their goods and begin to support our own products.
If this country does not begin to be much more proactive on the physical, social, political, economic and military war on terror then we will be faced with many more issues with nations such as Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and the upcoming Venezuela. Remember, if we do not seek to protect our own interests, no one else will do it for us. To remain “the land of the free and the home of the brave” we must ensure that the security of our nation and our allies are well protected.
