To borrow and paraphrase an example from President Reagan:

The Israeli and American governments possess the world's greatest firepower to absolutely annihilate the enemies of freedom and democracy, yet they have exercised an amazing sense of restraint, diplomacy and good judgment for decades.

Now, can Carter make the same claim and analogy about restraint, diplomacy and good judgment had the Communists or Islamic terrorists possessed the same nuclear arsenal over the past several decades?

Carter and his ilk are DANGEROUS FOOLS for proposing any similarity to Israel and Iran in the discussion of nuclear weapons.

The commies *did* and *do* have nuclear arsenals sufficient to end the world several times over. Even crazy Kimmy hasn't decided to wipe himself out yet.

Dictators are quite rational, they're just not very nice.

Can anyone imagine that if Iran or Syria had 150 nukes that they wouldn’t have used at least one by now?
