Preaching N-Armageddon


Washington Post Op-ed columnist Charles Krauthammer is preaching the nuclear annihilation of North Korea. At the first available opportunity that is, when a terrorist group detonates a nuke. Because he is certain it would have been sold to them by the North Koreans. Never mind the ‘terrorists’, Uncle Sam will level North Korea, flat. Return to sender.

Unless of course, if there are two nuclear ‘rogue’ states, because then it becomes difficult to know who sold the stuff to the terrorists. Therefore, Iran must be kept from going nuclear. At least before North Korea is annihilated by a U.S. nuclear holocaust. “One rogue country is tolerable because it can be held accountable,” concludes Krauthammer (and presumably annihilated by American nukes). “Two rogue countries guarantees undeterrable and therefore inevitable nuclear terrorism.”

We’d better run to our nuclear shelters. Because if North Korea is a nuclear rogue country, there are already two in the world. Including the U.S., that is.

How much more sick and deranged can a man’s mind get?

Everybody is entitled to his or her opinion, but nobody should be allowed to preach nuclear armageddon.

Denying a previous holocaust is not allowed. And rightly so, although maybe it shouldn’t be written into law. Nobody is put into prison for claiming that the world is flat.

But is seems to be acceptable - at least in the American press - to advocate a future holocaust.
