Iranian Nuclear Threat

Obama warned Iran in his State of the Union Address about their nuclear arms work. Clinton told the Chinese they should support sanctions.

Venezuela, and other Latin American countries are getting cozy with the Islamic Republic of Iran. I guess the idea here is that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

We already had one of those unfortunate confrontations in the sixties. Fidel Castro even allowed the Russians to locate nuclear weapons in Cuba. It was cooler heads, Krushov and Kennedy, I suppose, that averted nuclear catastrophe.

Nowadays we have a clearer and more present danger in global warming, because even though that threat is not one boom, and we are gone. The likelihood of permanent global collapse is equal, if not even greater, given our inability of detecting slow approaching death.

We shouldn't just wring our hands, and hide under the table like kids in the fifties in the First World. Nor like kids in Mexico right now, who are been taught how to cover their heads in case a big earthquake hits.

First, more people should be aware of the danger, and then, try to act accordingly to face the first global threat of extinction we have had in civilized times.
