Six Arab States Join The Rush To Go Nuclear

From the London Times:

THE SPECTRE of a nuclear race in the Middle East was raised yesterday when six Arab states announced that they were embarking on programmes to master atomic technology. The move, which follows the failure by the West to curb Iran’s controversial nuclear programme, could see a rapid spread of nuclear reactors in one of the world’s most unstable regions, stretching from the Gulf to the Levant and into North Africa. The countries involved were named by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as Algeria, Egypt, Morocco and Saudi Arabia. Tunisia and the UAE have also shown interest.

We must put a stop to Iran's nuclear ambitions. The only way to do this is to hit them militarily. Negotiations and sanctions will not work. Sanctions did not work in Iraq, and negotiations have not worked in North Korea, and neither of these strategies will work in Iran.

Honestly, we must also attack North Korea. We need to settle all accounts. We can not allow the world to go down this road to chaos - [slouching to Bethlehem... ed]. The Republicans have the will to do something about this problem, and the Democrats don't. Vote Republican. The future of the world depends on it.

Reliapundit adds: Even if these nations intended to use nuclear assets peacefully, they could hardly be counted on to safeguard their nuclear material. On this narrow basis alone, empowering them to achieve independently operating nuclear assets would be a grave error. As we all know, the UN and the IAEA are entirely dysfunctinal (having allowed Pakistan and North Korea to get nukes - and nearly letting Saddam get them too!). That's why we mustn't OUTSOURCE our national security to them - EVER. The Dems will. If you want France and Russia and China to have a veto over your safety and our Pentagon, then by all means... vote Democrat or stay home. I for one don't want the Murtha's or ther Pelosi's or ther Kofi's or the ElBaradei's to have any say over my future.
