"WMD" in the MIDDLE EAST ??

A Proper Focus for our Attention?

 

I am reading John Gadddis' recent book about the Cold War 

http://www.amazon.com/Cold-War-New-History/dp/0143038273.  I recommend it highly.  It will certainly put in proper focus a lot of "crap" we're being fed by our Media!  President Obama's trip to the Middle East, aside from revealing the widespread dysfunction in most of the world's governments, points us to the new use of Gas Weapons by the Syrians on their own people.

Gaddis cites in his book the fact that the use of Gas in World War I, and the use of nuclear weapons by President Truman to end WW II (the Japan part), were the only two instances in history that turned the world toward banning the use of advanced weapons.  The enforcement of that ban is harder now than ever.  Israel, alone, is reported to have nuclear weapons in the Middle East.  We're struggling to prevent Iran from acquiring that capability.

While most of us are being led to watch our money; (Cyprus shenanigans), maybe we're better off focusing our our physical survival the way we had to at the height of the Cold War with Russia.  Russian money is also implicated in the Cyprus mess.  Gaddis cites the availability of new information from the collapse of the Soviet  Union that reveals the espionage (in Britain, mainly) that allowed the Russians to "catch up" so quickly in the nuclear arms race with the U.S.  A similar story is revealed by the Pollard case.

It's the Syrians, locked in a suicidal death struggle in their tribal civil war, that has re-opened the Gas WMD issue.

Put all of this up against the "horsesh*t" the Republicans are dishing up in our Congress and you immediately see why we should replace these childish incompetents with "adults"!!  The sooner the better!!  And we thought the Republicans were so worried about WMD in Irac???  Who's zoomin' who??

Stay Vigilant!  Stay Informed!
