More Nuke News

George Bush never fails to confuse and distress his fellow citizens. Is he stupid, crazy, or evil? Who can tell and does it matter?

First he says Iran poses a threat to the United States because it is developing nuclear weapons. But then our hot-shot spy network reveals that Iran isn't really making nuclear weapons at all.

Most people, if given this evidence, would change their opinion of Iran. No nukes, no foul. But not George.

Now Bush says that Iran remains a threat, not because it has nukes, but because it might have them someday in the future. So George leaves open the possibility that he might launch a war with Iran simply because it might build nukes sometime in the future.

But Burma, Ceylon, and Argentina might have nukes sometime in the future. Every country on earth might have them if you wait long enough. But George doesn't want to wait. He wants to stop Iran because it "might" do something in the future.

The editorial board at New Moon is confused and distressed.
