It is encouraging to see that the truth about the ineffectiveness of the mutually assured destruction doctrine with regard to Iran is finally coming out. How many people in the West are aware that Bernard Lewis a leading western scholar of Islam, said the following about the Iranian regime, not just Ahmadinejad: “What makes this particularly alarming is the whole question of nuclear weapons. During the Cold War both the United States and the Soviet Union had nuclear weapons. That they did not use them, and they knew they we not going to use them, because of what we used to call at that time MAD – Mutual Assured Destruction. Each side knew that if they used nuclear weapons the others would respond in kind and this would obliterate everybody. With these people, with their apocalyptic mindset, mutual assured destruction is not a deterrent, it is an inducement “. In other words , MAD is Dead.
It is horrifying that the lives of millions depend on leaders like Obama or possibly Ron Paul who know next to nothing about Iran. Those who know the most about Iran like Reza Kahlili who was a CIA spy and worked under cover for the Revolutionary Guards for ten years, and Islam scholars like Bernard Lewis and Raphael Israeli are the ones most concerned about Iranian mullahs being irrational. In contrast, those who know nothing about Iran are the most optimistic. Google "MAD is Dead" Here is what Reza Kahlili said at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy : "Once they get the nuclear bomb, and they have the nuclear capability, and anybody can determine this because they are running multiple convert operations, parallel projects of nuclear bomb and missile delivery systems. It is a parallel project for one purpose, and I can argue both sides of the coin, but my belief is that .this is a messianic regime, there should be no doubts, they will commit the most horrendous suicide bombing in human history. They will attack Israel, European capitals and Persian Gulf region at the same time, then they will hide in a bunker waiting for Mahdi to get out of that well, ride the white horse, draw that sword and kill the rest of the nonbelievers."
