Waaaaa… NeoCons and NeoConfederates are such whiners. Let’s review the history of The Bomb and see how much of the technology was actually developed by “America”. Hmmmm… Einstein, Europe, Stockholm, Heidlberg, seems most of the technological jigsaw puzzle pieces were set in place in Other Countries. OK so let’s take it a step further. Iraqi insurgents who, so we’re told by Our Leaders, were on the verge of a Nuclear Device, which is so devastationally complex, and had been on the receiving end of anti-tank shells that have two-stage explosion, and are the basic design for the IEDs that cut through U.S. body and vehicle armor, supposedly couldn’t reverse engineer a weapon invented in their neck of the world, centuries ago. It’s called a Bangalore Torpedo and the principle is the same. So they had to be getting the devices smuggled from Iran or Syria, who in turn had bought them from the Soviets, who in turn had stolen the idea from us, who had in turn just used an older design. It was used to cut concertina wire in World War One. Just for instance.
Hmmm…Guns, no, they were an Arabian invention too…
Algebra, the basis for modern computers, no… that’s a Persian invention.
Binary and even decimal notation, no, those were Persian.
It’s about 60 years since the U.S. Government, in a fit of helpless rage, sacrificed a couple with Middle East ties in a burnt offering for allegedly helping the Soviets to “steal” our technology.
Had to be exactly that, mustn’t admit to the American People that we’re really not the Super Master Race. Stripped of their Subhuman label, suddenly the rest of the world would be very scary to us. Poor Frightened Rabbits, our leaders. And the only way they can make the rest of us keep following their “leadership” for which they make certain they’re more than just adequately compensated, is to keep us just slightly on the terrified edge. Yes, children, the bad wicked Dark Skinned ones are SCARY but you just snuggle up to your Big Brother and all will be well.
Meanwhile, the United States remains the ONLY country which has used all three classes of WMD, Nuclear, Biological and Chemical, counting the Nuclear tests done on uninformed uniformed “volunteers, the Smallpox Blankets and Various forms of Gas, (CS Tear Gas is illegal as a weapon of war, but it’s perfectly OK to use them on “our own people”.
Some of the loudest whiners, the NeoConfederates. Warpigs who celebrate the Civil War where our rebel ancestors were responsible for killing 180 thousand Confederates and 300 thousand Union soldiers, in order to try to keep millions of AMERICANS in slavery, wouldn’t that be what they accuse Saddam Hussein of having done? Killing their own people. To prop up a business model that’s the epitome of “free” market Capitalism.
Out of all that, somehow, some way, we’re annointed to be the saintly keepers of the Magic Temple of Nuclear Power. What a crock of shit.
