Its only a metter of WHEN if the way the West keeps treating the Middle East stays the same. Its obvious that we aren't doing a very good job of keeping tensions down. Especially gieven the way the invasion of Iraq has been perceived (like the West will invade any nation it pleases). We don't exactly reach out to them like they're equals. We've been stripping them of their sovereignty since we pushed back the explosion of Islam in the Middle Ages.
Our foreign policy is obviously completely wrong. And since most of the Western world is locked up in Afghanistan and Iraq I can't see another occupation being realistic. So we play the bully and we can't back it up there isn't gonna be anyway to keep most nations that want a nuke from getting one. Sanctions won't work either cause you bully the wrong nation and Opec will have us wishing for last year's gas prices.
I'm not that uncomfortable. What another sovereign nation having a nuke has to do with terrorists beats me. Russia has already lost track of enough and North Korea already has one so if anyone's is gonna sell the technology it would be them. And since the US already ignored a nuke into Kimmy's hands I think we're WAY past being any less comfortable.
CNN might start saying something spooky but the truth has been there for a while.
Its high time we stop being scared of these savage nations and start being smart. Being the big bad boys from the developed world isn't gonna do anything.
The only thing that I really fear is when another politician is going to tell me that we can't afford my rights because of a theoretical threat with no defined variables has been picked up on by the major news sources.
