Iran and the "International System"

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (notice the Rodham is back now that she's running for Senate again - it will be gone next year when she positions for president) has now joined the ranks of those who are fanning the flames in the Middle East. Regarding Iran, Rodham Clinton remarked that, "We cannot and should not - must not - permit Iran to build or acquire nuclear weapons." To this barrage of nots, I would retort, "Would you, could you, in a box? Would, you could you, with a fox?"

However, I don't think that United States will listen to Uncle Sam-I-Am. Instead, our government will probably be pursuing the path that Senator Rodham Clinton recommended today in her speech at Princeton: "move as quickly as feasible for sanctions in the United Nations." Clinton continued that, "We cannot take any action off the table in sending a clear message to the current leadership of Iran that they will not be permitted to acquire nuclear weapons."

I wonder what that means, since her husband's way of sending a clear message is bombing an aspirin factory in the middle of Africa!

Perhaps the most disturbing part of the article that I read was this quote:

"The Iranians want to make this about their rights. It's not about their rights... It's about the ability of the international system to trust them with the capabilities and technologies that could lead to a nuclear weapon."


A quote from Hillary? Perhaps John Kerry, the coiner of the infamous "global test" catch phrase? Nope, it's our beloved Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice. What is this "international system" that she is talking about? Whatever it is, you can be certain that Hillary and Condi both agree that Iran has failed the "global test."

It's about time that everyone sees that it's not Hillary vs. Condi - it's Hillary and Condi saying the same things and promoting the same agenda!
