One not need to be Cassandra to prophecy the coming Middle East nuclear arms race.
Former Minister Belayat of Algeria is an obscure figure in the West. He may even be an obscure figure in the East, North, and South, but when he calls for arming Algeria with the world's most vicious weaponry you can be sure he does not speak for Algeria alone:
From MEMRI:
Published on Sep 24, 2015Barack Obama's Iran non-treaty is going to set-off an arms race throughout the Middle East, if it has not done so already. I do not know how much of a potential threat Algeria represents, but when even an Algerian former high-level government official starts making nuclear sounding noises concerning driving the Jews out of the Land of Israel then you know that the whole region is embroiled in such sentiments.
Former Algerian Minister of Urban Development and former head of the FLN party Abderrahmane Belayat stated that Algeria should obtain nuclear weapons. Speaking on September 20 at an event organized by Al-Hiwar newspaper under the title "Zionist Violation of Al-Aqsa," Belayat said that Algeria should place its nuclear weapons on a mountain and tell the Jews to leave Palestine.
Of course, anti-Jewish genocidal ambitions have animated the Muslim Middle East for an exceedingly long time. One might even say millennia. The difference is that now they want to replace their recently impotent malicious ambitions with malicious ambitions backed by nuclear weaponry.
In truth, Barack Obama has betrayed us all... Americans, westerners, and Jews.
Obama wants a more modest American foreign policy paradigm. He therefore recognizes that someone is going to have to fill the vacuum created by American withdrawal and views Iran as a potential strategic partner in that part of the world. There is no reason to assign malice to Obama when ideological blinkertude is a more reasonable explanation.
Obama does not envision a future wherein the United States is a global super-power. On the contrary, he wants to see the United States as one significant power among others within an international community that resolves disputes via diplomacy. There is no malice in such a vision. On the contrary, it borders on the utopian.
The problem is that in order to realize such a vision the Obama Administration, and the progressive-left, in general, must blind themselves to the clear and obvious fact that Iran is an enemy to both the United States and Israel. Suddenly the words "cognitive dissonance" leap to mind.
How does the United States, under Obama, intend to maintain a long-term strategic alliance with a country that calls not only for the slaughter of Jews in Israel, but Americans within the United States?
It simply makes no sense and clearly demonstrates how upside down and backward Obama administration foreign policy actually is.
Iran, with Obama's blessing, is moving steadily toward the bomb and, you can be sure, right on their heals, is almost every country in the Middle East with any means.
