Imagine going to a flea market and
walking between the stands looking for something interesting to buy. One of the
vendors calls you and says he has something to sell that will knock your socks
off when you get to see it. Full of anticipation, you stand there waiting for
him to show you what he has that is appealing to such a high degree. But the
guy takes his time – a very long time – giving you a lecture on astrophysics.
Eventually, you get tired of the
sound of his voice, and ask him to show you what it is that he is selling. He
stops talking, opens a bag, pulls from it a dozen ties and says he'll give you
a good deal if you buy them all. You ask what the connection is between the
ties and the lecture, and he says there is no connection. It's just that he
studied astrophysics in college, and he wanted to impress you before making his
pitch. You walk away cursing him for wasting you time.
Believe it or not, my friend, this
is what the debate about bombing Iran
into the Stone Age has been reduced to in America . And you have two
characters to thank for this development. One is Robert P. George who is
professor of Jurisprudence at Princeton
University . The other is
Michael Stokes Paulsen who is university chair and professor of law at the University of St. Thomas . Together, they authored an
article under the title: Authorize Force Now” and the subtitle: “Congress
should deter Iran 's
nuclear ambitions by authorizing, now, the president to use military action.”
It was published on February 26, 2014 in National Review Online.
What you see in the title and the
subtitle is what they are selling. It is to start something now that will serve
as a first step for a mission-creep that will culminate in embroiling America
in yet another war against a Muslim country – which is an old Judeo-Israeli
dream. The debate itself was conducted by the weasels of the Jewish lobby for a
long time. They lost it so now, they got their running dogs to reopen it and
tackle it from another angle; this time the legal angle.
The two authors are jurists and
their legal argument sounds as solid as a lecture on astrophysics delivered by
someone that studied the subject. The trouble is that their argument is no more
related to the call for going after Iran than the lecture on
astrophysics is related to a dozen ties on sale. In fact, the authors go on and
on talking about the right of the President versus the right of the Congress as
stated by the provisions of the Constitution but in the end, they say no more
now than what was said before on the subject matter that is pertinent to the
Iranian question.
And what was said before is that Iran must be
coerced at the negotiating table, to which the two authors have added nothing
that is new. They don't say why this is important, but the reason is apparent
to everyone that has been observing the situation for a time now. It is that
when a Muslim is coerced, the folks at the Jewish lobby get turned on. And
being turned on is something they have not experienced for sometime now, and
they worry they may be losing their manhood. They want America to help
them regain confidence in themselves.
The pattern has always been that when the Jewish leaders
call for something and see it done, they consider it the first step in a long
journey for which there is no end because the Jewish way never sets a goal, an
exit strategy or a plan B. And getting caught in a never ending war is what
most people speculate will happen if America listened to them and
complied with their demand. Simply stated, most people don't trust what the
Jews are promising, and expect the worst.
The Jewish counter argument, however, is to the effect that
the Iranians are the ones not to be trusted. They speculate that Iran is buying
time while secretly building the bomb. When this is completed, the Iranians
will do more mischief in the region and the world, say the Jews.
