Iran's Nuclear Threat
10/29/21- GodVoter.org warns
about imminent nuclear threat from Iran
Nuclear deterrence assumes the fear of mutually assured destruction ("MAD"),
the notion that
even if a nuclear strike against another nuclear power destroys most of its
nuclear arsenal, a counterstrike by even a few surviving nuclear weapons will
destroy the attacker; since destruction will be mutual, the initial
attack will not take place.
MAD in turn assumes the lack of desire to die, which holds true even for the likes of
North Korea's Kim Jong Un, but not Islam. In Islam, the only sure way to
enter paradise, where 72 virgins await to please each man, is to die while killing infidels, and the
more infidels you kill, the more glorious your death. In Islam, dying to kill
infidels is good and glorious, so MAD is a motivator, not a deterrent.
If Iran becomes nuclear-armed, even if its government doesn't want to
launch a first strike at
America, a few hard line officers within its nuclear chain of command could
decide it's time to punch their glorious tickets to Islam's virgins-laden
paradise. After all, the Muslim men who flew airplanes into the twin towers on 9/11 were not street urchins; they were educated, middle class men
seeking something better.
Alternatively, Iran could develop small, suitcase-sized nuclear bombs, hand
them to Hezbollah and other proxies to carry across our southern border and
detonate in our cities. Since there will be no missiles to trace, if nobody
claims responsibility, we wouldn't even have targets to counterattack.
Discussions on what to do about Iran invariably point out that Iran has double
Iraq's population and triple its land mass, is protected on three sides by
mountains, a sea coast armed to the teeth on the fourth side, that an invasion will
require a million man army and cost trillions, and that air strikes
alone will not be sufficient to topple the Iranian regime.
All of them are valid points, and the cost of even air strikes will be high
indeed. But the cost of letting Iran become nuclear-armed will be nuclear
detonations in major American cities, hence incalculable. Iran already has
reached the point of being able to make at least two nuclear bombs, so we cannot
wait any longer. Something must be done now.
