7 Reasons To Nuke The USA
By Yamin Zakaria
02/23/07 "ICH" -- -- According to the doctrine of pre-emptive
strike which the US has adopted since 9/11, it too can be
subjected to a pre-emptive nuclear strike, as it poses a threat
to other peaceful nations of the world. The US has a sordid
track record for using such weapons against civilians and it has
constantly maintained a large stockpile of such weapons of mass
destruction, and continuously develops them. There are
additional reasons to nuke the US, however I have decided to
highlight only seven, which I have listed below.
This is partly for brevity and I hope it might have some
resonance with the Zionist-Christian Fundamentalists, especially
the nutty ones, as number 7 has significance in the Bible. Also,
they are constantly yearning for the Armageddon, and nuking USA
may only speed up the process, so for a change I might have
these Christian-Zionists on my side! The Halleluiah brigade
would probably jump up, waving their arms in the air whilst
claiming to be speaking in tongues, proclaim that the good Lord
says: bring it on, nuke the US for their sins! Perhaps, I would
also have the communists and their variants to concur with me,
as nuking the leading capitalist nation by non-state actors
would seem like initiating a 21st century explosive revolution
by the powerless proletariats against the capitalist class!
Before anyone screams mass murder, they ought to consider that
their judgments will rest on the identity of the victims and the
perpetrators. If it is the ‘terrorists’ (non state-actors,
freedom fighters, Iraqi resistance etc) nuking the US, it will
be depicted as terrorism and mass murder; conversely if the US
uses such weapons, it will be defensive measures in the guise of
a pre-emptive strike to eliminate potential threats incurring
lots of collateral damages. Like the collateral damages
inflicted on a massive scale when the Atom bomb was dropped on
Hiroshima and Nagasaki, neither were military targets and by
this time Japan was already on its knees with no Air Force and
its Navy almost annihilated. Perhaps one day some objective
historian might call that an act of terrorism! Let me now list
the 7 reasons to Nuke the USA.
1) The US was established on the blood of 70 million Native
Americans. Their lands were stolen. Since the US leadership
considers it right of the Jews to occupy Palestine as they lived
here over 2000 years ago, then the Native Americans can also
argue back only 500 years and have their lands returned to them.
So a valid ground to repatriate the European colonizers, if they
refuse they can be herded into camps, subjected to a trail of
tears. Alternatively they can be nuked out of existence for
resisting, as well as retribution for the brutal killing of
their ancestors.
2) Consider the crimes against the Africans, their enslavement,
oppression and lynching for centuries, which led to millions
perishing. An irony of the declaration of independence by the
Founding Fathers of the US, who stated that all men were created
equal, whilst Afro-Americans were subjected to such brutality
which continued for many decades. They have the right seek
retribution (including nuclear strike) against the descendents
of the criminals who have not paid them any compensation.
3) During the Spanish-American war at the turn of century,
Philippines was colonized, and at least a 250,000 Filipinos were
killed, then the country was turned into a brothel for the US
soldiers, and it continues to be used in that manner. We don’t
find Billy Graham and his ilk lecturing about the sin here. Nor
do we find the voices for women’s rights; I suppose if they
covered up instead of spreading their legs to the US soldiers
then it would be cause for alarm! The Filipinos have the right
of retribution for the carnage and rape.
4) The killing of the innocent Vietnamese populations and
supporting monsters like the Pol Pot led to millions of
Cambodians being killed. They too have the right of retribution
and a nuclear strike would serve as deterrence for future
attacks by the US.
5) The ongoing ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians through
arming the Zionists, and the genocide against the Iraqis from
1991 onwards are good reasons to nuke the US and halt the
massacre and oppression. A bully always think twice when it gets
a punched by one of its victim. The only reason why the US has
not used nukes against the Islamic world because it fears
nuclear reprisal, as Muslims do not believe in turning the other
cheek, for that matter neither do the Christians!
6) Using the various financial institutions, and bribing corrupt
regimes, the US has exploited the economic resources for its own
benefit, bringing misery to millions around the world. Nuking
the US would halt these forms of oppression, and a new economic
order is likely to prevail after it is crippled permanently by
nuking it.
7) At present everyone is speculating the use of nuclear weapons
against Iran by the US or through its proxy Israel. A
pre-emptive strike would make the US and the Zionists think
twice, as the American and Israeli masses might appreciate what
it means to use such weapons. I doubt they would have the
appetite for more. For the Iraqis and the oppressed around the
world they are already dying, their situation is unlikely to get
any worse than it is.
Using the principles of free speech I have expressed the case
for nuking the US and I am sure others would add to the above
list. My opponents would try and gag me under the pretext of
promoting terrorism, of course that is because I am advocating
that Americans are terrorized in order to restrain the beast
amongst them. Giving them a taste of their own medicine would
make the US masses actually realize what foreign policy,
collateral damages etc really means! In contrast, the numerous
times calls have been made to nuke Iran, Mecca, North Korea etc
goes unnoticed, of course that would not be promoting terrorism
but upholding free speech. Is this not double standard? Of
course not as it depends on whose standards you are using as a
yardstick!
Although I have made the case for nuking the US but I would
oppose the use of such weapons, a nuclear war would lead to
everyone losing out. Mass murder on such a scale would bring
misery to all sides. Hence, I would favor a genuine nuclear-free
world and not a nuclear-free Iran only! Likewise a nuclear-free
Middle East and not a nuclear Israel with nuclear-free Arabs.
The only justification for using such weapons would be one of
last resort of self-defense, which the Iranians, Iraqis and
Palestinians and others might resort to given the constant US
and Israeli aggression against them.
Now consider this scenario, a Caliphate is established in the
Middle East that has unified the Islamic world, it’s armed with
nuclear weapons. No doubt it would be competing with the US in
the international arena. Who is more like to use such weapons?
Foreign policy of the Caliphate is Jihad, which is the spread of
Islam, using nukes to annihilate entire section of population,
would defeat that central objective of spreading the message of
Islam. Nukes and Jihad does not go hand in hand unless it is
entirely for defensive purpose.
Where as the US as a Capitalist nation is a far better candidate
as it: has a track record for using such weapons; it seeks to
maximize its interests at any cost, so annihilating other races
fits with its philosophy and morals, and it has a strong record
for committing genocide on a massive scale in order to exploit
natural resources and enforce hegemony.
They scream peace, but what they mean is war; they shout freedom
but what they mean is enslavement; they shout democracy but what
they mean is democracy for its multinationals. The Holy Quran
describes such people whose words contradict their deeds: “And
when it is said unto them: Make not mischief in the earth, they
say: We are peacemakers only. Are not they indeed the
mischief-makers? But they perceive not. (2:11-12)”
