Cut the rope, I'm up…..

First, let me withdraw my dissent on RW’s recent criticism of the Harper admin for changing the language used in controlling Federal documents.
I have since been persuaded that official language is indeed important and should always be free of ambiguity.

Following Obama’s supposedly Big Deal in forging a unanimous non-proliferation UN vote on nuclear weapons, I looked up the non-p word.
Encarta says “limitation, control, reduction,  prevention….”
But none of those who scripted or supported Obama’s proposal had any intention of reducing their own nuclear stockpiles, the whole thing was aimed at steering public opinion against Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

They were playing with words.

If the major players all have stacks of nuclear missiles pointing at each other with no intention of change, what is so dreadful about Iran developing nuclear technology for, as they say,  peaceful applications?

Wouldn’t the best path in terms of world opinion which will ultimately formulate the resolution of  the Iran issue, be even a token reduction of  your own nuclear stockpile?

Or on the environmental front, introduce tough measures to combat rampant China-cheap consumerism instead of preaching the evils of pollution  to emerging economies ?

This West-doublethink can be hummed along to the tune of:
“You can’t create any pollution to develop your new economies
(doo-dah, doo-dah)
although we made tons developing ours
(O de doo-dah-day)….

Or, cut the rope. I’m up.
