"The Tasmanian Devil!"

When I was a kid I, loved Saturday morning cartoons. "Bugs Bunny, Popeye the Sailor, Mighty Mouse, Mickey Mouse, Yosemite Sam" and countless others filled those fun hours on Saturday. The great thing about cartoons is that no matter how much disaster and trauma cartoon characters go through, they always bounce back unharmed; good as new! Look at "Wiley Coyote", that poor guy has been chasing that "Road Runner" for years in a quest, they always ends in disaster; you know, falling anvils or huge explosions. Remember the "Tasmanian Devil", a whirling dervish that left a trail of destruction wherever he passed? The "Tasmanian Devil" never made much sense, impossible to understand or control. He was lunacy on a path to destroy all things near him! It seems nobody could ever control the "Tasmanian Devil"!

Over the last few weeks, my favorite "Tasmanian Devil" has been quite prominent on the world scene; President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran has been very verbose about Israel, America, capitalism and weapons. If you have read my blog in the past, you know all about the "peaceful pursuit of nuclear energy" that Iran says they are developing. Unless you are dead from the neck up, you're not buying this load of manure. Ahmadinejad's veiled threats against Israel have been a constant in all his speeches. He said in one speech "Try to imagine a world without Israel": now what could he have meant by that remark? Last week, there was a picture of a new Iranian missile in the paper; Iranian officials said it has the capacity to easily reach Israel. Last week, Ahmadinejad said Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's Prime Minister, is a "skilled killer". He says Israel is a threat to Iran's security. This mad man is laying the ground work for a conflict with Israel! He has openly laughed about United Nations sanctions against his nuclear pursuits (U.N. sanctions are a joke). I'm sure he must be making private jokes about our President Barack Obama, and his pursuit for a peaceful dialogue. I'm sure he perceives our President to be a weak leader who will avoid any conflict; even if it means hanging Israel out to dry. This "Tasmanian Devil" continues to spin crazily, and the world watches. He spoke at the U.N. yesterday, and once again the United States bore the brunt of his diatribe of lunacy. He said 911 was an "inside job" initiated by our own government. In a show of disdain, the United States delegation refused to listen to Amadinejad's rantings. I'm sure this really hurt his feelings! He has said he wants to initiate the Muslim "end times" prophecies. He wants to be the tool for Allah to use to bring about a final conflict. He wants death and destruction; he thinks he is a messenger from his god!

Now, the question we must ask is, how far will we allow this lunatic madman to go? United Nations sanctions do little to nothing and have virtually zero effect on Iran. We have done nothing of substance to put a halt to this veiled aggression by the pretender to the mantle of Adolph Hitler. The Middle-East is a powder keg just waiting to explode, and Ahmadinejad is a "blasting cap".

This is not a cartoon, the "anvil" will fall; the "boulder" will crush and kill. Unfortunately, unlike the cartoons, nobody will get back up in the next scene, they will be dead! Ahmadinejad can no longer be taken lightly, he is not a cartoon character to laugh at; he is a genuine threat to world security. The question, WHAT WILL AMERICA DO? Mr. Obama ,you must show more teeth to this lunatic, and I don't mean a wider smile!
