This is not about the 1963 film. It is not even about the
mutually assured destruction per se. The intended meaning this time is that we
are crazy, insane.
Why?
Because 9 days ago Ahmadinejad in Cairo proclaimed
that Iran already has nuclear
capabilities but is not planning to attack Israel, because Tehran’s
capabilities are “defensive-oriented.”
And the world’s reaction? None!
OK, I can understand that politicians could be reluctant
to say a word. Michael
Oren, Israel’s ambassador to the US, in his piece in the Wall Street Journal
said nothing. US Secretary of State John
Kerry said US will not accept Iranian delays and the onus was on it to make progress at
negotiations, which are set to resume later in the month. President Obama, in his State
of the Union, said:
Likewise, the leaders of Iran must recognize that now is the time for a
diplomatic solution, because a coalition stands united in demanding that they
meet their obligations. And we will do what is necessary to prevent them from
getting a nuclear weapon.
"Progress at negotiations"?, “Prevent
them from getting a nuclear weapon”? But
Ahmadinejad already declared he has it!
The politicians can be somewhat excused, since hopefully they (
i.e. Israel) are doing something behind the scenes, but where is the media? The journalists are just not doing their job.
I believe that this the most absurd silence in history, and the most dangerous.
