Bush’s nuclear hypocrisy exposed.
For almost eight years, the Bush administration has condemned other nations for pursuing a nuclear weapons arsenal, while at the same time maintaining its own storehouse of WMD. Moreover, Bush has – like other American leaderts – turned a blind eye to the actions of the most powerful nuclear-armed nation in the Middle East, Israel.
Now we see a strong argument being made that is diametrically opposed to the Bush administration’s views…and a radical departure from American political and miltary policy.
According to Today’s Nrw York Times
"A who’s who of the (American) national security establishment — George Shultz, Henry Kissinger, William Perry and Sam Nunn — is calling on the United States to lead a global campaign to devalue and eventually rid the world of nuclear weapons.
None of these men (two former secretaries of state, a former secretary of defense and a former chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee) is given to casual utopianism — or anything casual. They are trying to shock sensibilities"
The fact that this cadre of dyed-in-the-wool warmongering conservative establishment elite is calling for a global ban on nuclear weapons is a good sign.
The question is this: will the leaders of the world listen…or is it already too late?
I’m quite surprised you see any cause for hope in the patter of these warmongering whores.
I did Control-F on the NYT article for the Israel-word and guess what, nothing.
Now if Donald Rumsfeld was to add his credibility I might take notice…..
Motive?…. it may be that some of them, or at least their younger desk-driving bombers of countless civilians may be called to account.
As USA and its cheque-book continue to weaken, the rest of the world will slowly find the backbone to prosecute US war-criminals.
One must always be optimistic. Once we lose that ability, we are truly doomed. I continue to hope for better things from coming generations.
