Joy Reid, former MSNBC commentator, host, or whatever she was, suggested that if Iran had a nuclear bomb, the Middle East would be “calmer.” Seriously, calmer. We suppose that when they used that bomb on all its neighbors, it would be “calmer” because the bomb would decimate everything. Calmer. Right.
“In this case, Israel wants to be the hegemon of the region. They want to be the United States, the big player on the block, with no competitors. And their two biggest potential competitors are Saudi Arabia and Iran. The idea here is to make them the unquestioned superpower in the region. That’s what this is about.” Joy Reid. (Daily Caller)
Reid’s lack of knowledge about the ideology of Iran is stunning. Radical Islamists believe that martyrdom is the only way to their “heaven.” They believe that Israel and the United States are evil “infidels” and must be destroyed. Whether they could obtain a nuclear weapon within two weeks or two months is irrelevant. The fact that they sought one at all was the driving factor in the actions of the last 12 days. Enriching uranium to 60% was significantly higher than a civilian nuclear program (5% or 6%). Achieving a 60% to 90% reduction was easily accomplished with their centrifuges. Now…those centrifuges are a pile of rubble.
