Do You Think?

For some time now, the Bushehr nuclear reactor has occupied my thoughts. This was a big step towards Iran becoming a nuclear power. Why did we let them do it? Why did we not tell Israel to bomb it? Why did the Israeli Foreign Ministry published a statement proclaiming the move "unacceptable," and not do anything about it?

In an article in the Jewish World Review Caroline B. Glick ask the question, “So why did we accept the unacceptable?”

Israel is still hoping that the US will discover — before it is too late — that it must act to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear power in order to secure its own interests.

Caroline Glick, along with others, are saying that Israeli officials explain that the reactor isn't the main problem. The main danger stems from the uranium enrichment sites. And anyway, they explain, given the civilian character of the Bushehr reactor; the fact that it is under a full International Atomic Energy Agency inspections regime; and the fact that the Russians are supposed to take all the spent fuel rods to Russia and so prevent Iran from using them to produce weapons-grade plutonium. 

Another question seems to be raised from all of this, “just where do the Americans" stand on Iran as it declares itself a nuclear power and tests new advanced weapons systems on a daily basis.

from all these reports, the reason seems to be that Israel lacked the international legitimacy to strike Bushehr to prevent it from being fueled last weekend.

From an article by former Clinton Administration National Security Council member Bruce Riedel, (a Senior Fellow in foreign policy at the Saban Center for Middle East Policy of the Brookings Institution, a former CIA Analyst, a counter-terrorism expert, and an author) titled, "If Israel Attacks," Riedel says that an Israeli military strike against Iran will be a disaster for the US. In his view, US is better served by allowing Iran to become a nuclear power than by supporting an Israeli attack against Iran.

Oh, by the way he is a member of the Council of Foreign Relations, one of the seven groups that work hard to make our nation a Socialistic type nation.

He writes, "The United States needs to send a clear red light to Israel. There's no option but to actively discourage an Israeli attack."

But, could it just be that God’s hand is in this, according to Jeremiah 49:38. Remember, Israel is God’s time-piece. It doesn’t matter what man does, it is what God says.
