Look at the history of the Suez Crisis and all other \u2018uber brinkmanships\u2019 exercised by the Arabs since Israel was established.<\/h5>\n<h5>The reality is that the Arab Culture ONLY desires a total ethnic cleansing of Israel as a best case scenario. If it has to be a Genocide of the Jews, well, so be it!<\/h5>\n<h5>The reality is that, in the event Iran establishes \u2018credible deterrence\u2019, there will be a mad rush of Arab states to get \u2018on-side\u2019 and validate their own credenza by threatening Israel.<\/h5>\n<h5>The reality is that being swept along in the heady rush of Global Jihad is irresistible to an Arab and any \u2018white-eye\u2019 who fails to grasp this might just as well elect to self-immolate.<\/h5>\n<h5>As the Walrus and the Carpenter surveyed the wreckage, carnage and destruction on the beach, they observed, \u201cThere\u2019s nobody left.\u201d<\/h5>\n<h5>We know that, in fact, after these interesting times, there will remain members of Humanity and that they will preserve elements of Civilisation. For those who wonder how we know this, a good source to investigate contains the statement, \u201cFew will survive.\u201d<\/h5>\n<h5>For the record, those who survive will not only be unbelievably (really \u2013 unbelievably) chastened, they will also be more busy than Humanity has ever been before.<\/h5>\n<h5>Any suggestion that in those days there will be time or room for individuals or groups who wish to deflect Humanity from its task, merely for the sake of some jihad or to worship some \u2018lesser godlet\u2019, turbaned or otherwise, is false.<\/h5>\n<h5>Children of lesser gods will fall like rain an eternity downwind.<\/h5>\n<h5>None of this is bad. Earth is a beautiful place, challenging and demanding and allowing every opportunity for opposition to exist in all things. This was the only stage upon which Mankind could play out the key roles of its eternal entity. Remember when you came to me, there, and said excitedly, \u201cWe\u2019re all going to be born!\u201d?<\/h5>\n<h5>Dying isn\u2019t bad. It\u2019s exactly like being born. What you decide to think, say and do in between? THAT may be bad. It may be good. That\u2019s entirely up to you.<\/h5>\n<h5>Don\u2019t blame anybody else.<\/h5>\n<h5>And don\u2019t bother arguing.<\/h5>\n<h5>Went<\/h5>\n<p>went@wenublog.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cOn Friday, Germany&#8217;s Der Spiegel newspaper reported on a computer simulation run at the European Commission Joint Research Centre (JRC) in Ispra, Italy, through which scientists modeled the uranium enrichment capabilities of centrifuges operating at Iran&#8217;s Natanz nuclear facility.\u00a0 \u201cThe results of those tests were not reassuring &#8211; showing that a sufficient quantity of enriched [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-went"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wenublog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wenublog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wenublog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wenublog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wenublog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=19"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.wenublog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wenublog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=19"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wenublog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=19"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wenublog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=19"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
