Post for April 22nd: Nuclear Agenda

Re: Iran Ayatollah Assails U.S. On New Nuclear Strategy.

I thought President Obama’s “Nuclear Posture Review” was not meant to be a threat to anyone but, as is more in our nature as a nation, a reassurance to those nations who do abide by the Nuclear Non-proliferation treaty. For the Ayatollah to perceive this as a threat speaks loudly of a guilty conscience. Khamenei’s automatic assumption we are threatening Iran may warrant further investigation of Iran’s nuclear program. Though, meant or not, Obama’s “Nuclear Posture Review” is a roundabout threat to those countries who are in violation or were perched to do so. Iran has refused to stall its nuclear program, in spite of United Nations sanctions and fervent calls from the United States. I do not hold with the idea that we, the U.S. should police the world, but Nuclear power is something that can and will affect the whole world and it would be wrong for those with the power to stop it to stand idly by.
