"In The Same Club As Belarus"?

If only. And not only because we need to make all rulings of the European Court of Human Rights subject to a resolution of the House of Commons, the High Court of Parliament.

Belarus is one of four countries ever to have effected total nuclear disarmament, giving the lie to the claim that it would be impossible. South Africa tellingly did it at the same time as she gave up apartheid, while Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine were negotiated to it by Jim Baker, as much the successor of Eisenhower, Nixon, Ford and Reagan in his anti-nuclear activism as he was in his denunciation of the pursuit of Greater Israel.

If a country which has disposed of an entire nuclear arsenal is, under the same President, unfooled by the ridiculous claims of an Iranian nuclear threat, then the rest of the world ought to listen most attentively.

But we are not doing any such thing. Well, of course we aren't. Belarus is so critical of her Soviet past that she has given up her nuclear weapons, while at the same time so critical of the decadence of the Postmodern West and its bloodthirsty globalisation that she is explicitly recognised as an ally by the Pope.

The cake is iced by pointing out that an Iranian Bomb is as fanciful as an Iraqi Bomb was, and would in any case matter not one jot against hundreds of Israeli Bombs. The cherry on top is an off-colour remark which breaches the ultimate taboo of the Postmodern West by questioning, however little, the absolute supremacy of the homosexual lobby. So economic sanctions are in order, with military sanctions not taken off the table.

Isn't that right?

    'The cake is iced by pointing out that an Iranian Bomb is as fanciful as an Iraqi Bomb was, and would in any case matter not one jot against hundreds of Israeli Bombs.'

    Or, for example, India's brand-spanking-new ICBMs?

    India has never agreed to sign on to the NPT, but (according to the Asahi Shimbun) their nuclear programme has was given the wink-nod from the United States under the Bush Administration. But somehow it is Iran (and Belarus) which is a threat to world peace and security...

    So much for India's 'solid' non-proliferation record, I suppose.
