Are you fed up with those who wail that if Israel or Pakistan is “allowed” nuclear weapons, why shouldn’t Iran? Well, here (HT: LGF) are SIX reasons Iran shouldn’t be allowed nukes:

If you want an easy-to-remember version, here’s a summary (sort of):

Reason 1:
We can’t excuse Iran just because other threatening states got nukes through our ineptitude to stop them. Where does this “logic” end? How long should we allow such a mistake to continue? Should we allow Sudan to have nukes to speed up its Dafur genocide, or why not Hamas or Al-Qaeda? Hey, let’s just hand nukes out at Wal-Mart and then Tellytubby Michael Moore can make another movie, this time about the poor kid in the cancer ward because American capitalism had to sell nukes next to the bread counter.

Nuclear weapons are a deterrent only if a few countries have them; nuclear weapons become nation- and civilisation-consuming if every crank state is allowed to have them.

Reason 2:
Democracies are less likely to nuke each other, didnt you know that already? Yes, America nuked Japan, but Japan was a totalitarian imperialist fascist state at the time. Since Japan and Germany went democratic (with massive US help) , neither country has lifted a gun at anyone.

Reason 3:
Iran is in the Premier League of Rogue States that includes North Korea and Syria. These states have all sponsored terrorism abroad. Iran trains terrorists within its borders and then exports them to the West and the Middle East. Iran also feels it has nothing to lose and everything to gain by becoming a nuclear state and Iran knows that the West has everything to lose and nothing to gain by Iran going nuclear.

Reason 4:
Nations can pose a danger in five ways: petrodollars, nukes, terrorism, fanaticism, and deathwish. Where some nations exhibit only some of these dangers, Iran exhibits all five dangers. Quoting Hanson: “[Iran] has

• enough money to buy influence and exemption
• nuclear weapons to threaten civilization
• oil reserves to blackmail a petroleum hungry world
• terrorists to either find [sic] sanctuary under a nuclear umbrella or to be armed with dirty bombs
• and it has a leader who wishes either to take his entire country into paradise, or at least back to the eighth century amid the ashes of the Middle East.”

In light of the cartoon saga that is still running riot in many Moslem states, how safe would your freedom of expression be with Iran’s finger on a nuclear red button?

Reason 5:
Any state that can more than meet its own energy needs for the next few centuries through gas and oil doesnt *need* nuclear power. In light of the president’s intentions to “wipe Israel off the map”, Iran’s true intentions are as clear as day. Wake up and smell the uranium!

Reason 6:
Iran is a non-proliferation signatory and the West reserves the right to choose who it shares its technology with.

I don’t recall Janeway of Star Trek Voyager fame cruising through the Delta Quadrant dropping off triphasic torpedoes at every port just to make the journey a bit easier or to get home a bit quicker.
