[QUOTE]Originally posted by WizArtist: [QB] What I was attempting to convey is this; How long will it be before an arab state obtains nuclear capability? If a nuclear weapon were detonated in Israel do we have ANY doubt what the retalitory action would be? India and Pakistan are threats already in that theatre. Iran isn't far off and the worst kept secrect is that Israel has nukes. I was in NO WAY saying we should nuke the mideast, but this is a fine example of an off-the-cuff statement being taken in a wrong manner. You can't expect rational thought to overrule deep-seeded hatred, bigotry, and "The List". (All the crimes that have been perpetrated on one side by the other) Right now we are seeing the erosion of freedom in both the U.S. and Russia, all in the name of "security". Polarization is not just what is happening between the Democrats and Republicans, its a clannish fracturing happening along all lines globally. Everyone NEEDS to identify with SOMETHING to give themselves purpose and meaning in life. This leads to cultural distinctions that are ALWAYS a separating factor. When you try to meld cultures, you end up with a virtual Frankenstein's Nation. Multiculturalism will never work when ANY side claims to be "right" or have "the answer". Unfortunately, it is these very same beliefs that delineate between these factions, cultures, and religions. You can NOT have both...either you will have one cultural theme prevail to the demise or submission of all others or you will have war. [/QB][/QUOTE]
