THE SPECTRE of a nuclear race in the Middle East was raised yesterday when six Arab states announced that they were embarking on programmes to master atomic technology.
The move, which follows the failure by the West to curb Iran’s controversial nuclear programme, could see a rapid spread of nuclear reactors in one of the world’s most unstable regions, stretching from the Gulf to the Levant and into North Africa.The countries involved were named by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as Algeria, Egypt, Morocco and Saudi Arabia. Tunisia and the UAE have also shown interest.
No one should be under any illusions whatsoever. It isn't about electricity. These are Islamic states, after all, and owing to Islam's mandatory jihad and imperialism, one cannot simply say, "Oh, they just want some electricity... besides, they say it's their 'right'".
We know we cannot trust Islamofascistic regimes with nukes!
If the liberal-left wants to let these nations get nukes, then don't stand in the way if Canada someday seeks nukes as well, to ensure a much greater measure of deterrence than it now has. Yes, we have nuclear power already, but, really, that's not the real issue! The issue is defence and deterrence!
