Iran Expands Usual "Death" List to Include England

This week Iran's president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has expanded his usual "death wish" list -- which routinely calls for the annihilation of Israel and the United States -- to include the United Kingdom.

Can the rest of the West be far behind?  Actually, no, because Mahmoud has also called for the destruction of Western civilization.

By the way, he couched his threats in the usual rhetoric by saying the "Any power that is close to God will survive while the powers who are far from God will disappear like the pharaohs."  And, truth be told, he didn't use the word "God."  He used the word "Allah."  It's misleading and inaccurate for the Western media to translate his use of the word "Allah" as "God" because Mahmoud is not calling for the West to be close to "God" as the West understands God -- quite the contrary.  This is a demand that the world convert to Islam and worship Allah, or die.

But I have an idea -- let's pretend that "only" Israel's survival is immediately threatened by Iran, and that this isn't a threat for the rest of the world.  Let's further pretend that Israel "deserves" to be wiped off the face of the earth and that the rest of the world's troubles will be over if Israel is eliminated.  Then, let's stand by and watch Iran do just that.

Oh -- we should be sure to cover up our passivity with endless meetings and "negotiations" so it looks very much as if we're doing something, when we're not.  Above all else, let's rule out any military option in dealing with Iran, because that would be risky and dangerous, but might also be effective.  Be sure to criticize and attack any world leader who suggests that Iran needs to be dealt with by force.

Remember -- we in the West are too advanced and civilized to use military force against Iran, or anyone else for that matter.  We've transcended all that.  We are enlightened, superior beings who don't actually use armies and weaponry anymore, even if another nation is threatening our destruction and preparing to accomplish just that.

Then, when Iran finally launches nuclear attacks against cities we care about -- say, London or New York or Hamburg or Madrid, or all of the above -- let's point fingers of blame at whoever is in leadership positions at the time and -- under the threat of more cities destroyed -- let's submit to our fate.  I'm sure Iran won't deal with us any more harshly than it did with the 10,000 plus who were killed after Islamists took over Iran.  Well, maybe a little more harshly, and in much larger numbers.  There will be too many hangings to count. 

But some of us will survive, anyway -- those willing to submit to Islamic law.

How's that for a plan?

Hope you like it, because right now, that's the world community's Plan A.  And there is no Plan B.

In many ways, it feels like the 1930's all over again, except now the bad guys have the potential to build much bigger weapons that can wipe out an entire city without the need for a massive invasion force.

THE CAUSE OF IRANIAN AGGRESSION IS CLEAR
- Iran is acting as if they think we are trying to DESTROY them, and they feel VERY THREATENED by the West and Israel
- The MSM is bewildered by Iran's behavior ("Why is Iran so paranoid?")
- Iran's aggression is only puzzling for the MSM, who HOPE we are losing in the ME
- Those who can see we are winning can clearly see why Iran is defensive. It's BECAUSE we're winning
- Iran is now surrounded by rapidly strengthening democracies (Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Israel) and Western allies (Kuwait, Suadi Arabia, Pakistan, UAE, Dubai).
- Iran's fear is justified, because we ARE progressing to a point where we could destroy them
- Iran SHOULD feel threatened, because IT IS
- Iran cannot attack any neighbors without inciting Western destruction of their Theocracy
- They are having increasing difficulty controlling internal dissent
- The pessimistic catastrophizing by the MSM has obscured this fact, because they are determined to have us believe that the allies' ME policy is failing
- The MSM is wrong, and their moral turpitude, wobbly high-grounding, aimless reasoning, and constant whining, betray the permanent lack of direction, the frustrated malaise of their dying leftist political philosophy, promulgating their last BIG LIE
