Israel's Nuclear Weapons VS Iran's.

While commenting away on a facebook chain, a Ron Paul supporter said the following in defense of Ron Paul’s support of Iran’s hopes for nuclear capabilities:
“Are you saying that Iran’s one nuclear bomb is superior to Israel’s three hundred nuclear weapons?”

It intrigued me and I realized that many in America haven’t taken the time to really research what the issue is at hand. So if you would allow me a little time to share…

Israel’s weapons vs Iran’s is not the focus;
Israel’s attitude vs Iran’s… That is the focus.
Has Israel wiped Iran off of their country’s maps? No.
Has Iran erased Israel from theirs? Yes.
Does Israel throw hatred around like confetti re: how Iran isn’t a real country and shouldn’t exist? No.

Do not compare Israel, the dove to Iran, a wild boar consumed with hatred and pride, murderers of all that is decent. Their leadership rule with a rod of iron. They have very little compassion, very little character, and “More than 200 secret executions have taken place in Iran so far in 2011, including 83 in January alone.” {information from a twenty-one paged document from the UN regarding Iran’s abysmal treatment of humans. This information is from ONE city.}

You are talking about a nation that stones women if they are accused of being unfaithful to their husbands. Stones them! With ROCKS! A tortuous and bloody death, they bury the women up to their mid-torsos so that they cannot even lift their arms to cover their own heads in self-defense.
I realize it would be futile, but there is something about a people that do not even allow this base, humble, and natural instinct; a small and a very pitiful attempt to avoid excrutiating pain. The poor things are denied even that tiny crumb.

What makes me sick is that they cover their victims’ heads with black shrouds. One might say, “Well it is so horrible to look upon the face of death.”, and I would agree.
It is horrible to have to look into the eyes of a woman who does not deserve to be tortured to death even as one lifts another stone to take aim…
Even the strongest man would falter.

Yet Ron Paul seems to think if we just leave other countries alone they will mind their own business, which alarms me.
Has the man never read ONE history book?

The danger of Ron Paul’s concepts are simple to explain.
He believes, in a narrow-minded way, that other countries and cultures are like America’s freedom loving people and republic, and he has mistakenly attributed this mindset of “Don’t bother me and I wont bother you.”, to Iran and other nations like it.
He believes that if we don’t kick the ant hill, the ant won’t bite our pinky toe.

Unfortunately he has never been to Africa.
There are a few more species of ants on the planet than America’s and some ants are so dangerous that small villages will flee when they see them coming.

One cannot apply our belief system of fairness and mercy to another culture, who has not earned it, never bothered cultivating it, and quite frankly can barely comprehend it, let alone respect us for embracing it.

The next time you hear someone discussing Iran’s “rights” to nuclear weapons, versus Israel’s, please remember, it is not weapon for weapon we are comparing.

It never has been.

It is the attitude and intent that one posesses in their hearts when desiring to own such weapons that must be the focus.

A peaceful man who owns a gun cannot be compared to a rapist and murderer because the peaceful man owns it to defend his family; the innocent and the weak from danger.
The rapist owns a gun to thrust his lust for power onto a weaker form and savagely use it, even it means its demise.

They are two very different animals, and we must never forget that.
