Comment: Another angle of view on Rand

Another angle of view on Rand

I have already expressed the essential of what I had to say on such statements from Rand:

http://www.dailypaul.com/271985#comment-2931492

I still like the man very much for everything he has said by the past on many other topics about which I would wholeheartedly agree with him - even before he would express himself on those.

Now on this Iran "issue" and position taking, after what I said and linked to, above:

So, Rand ... double speak, much? I am uncertain.

Or wouldn't it be: confused much? VERY LIKELY SO, IMO.

We CAN help him. Isn't he a great example that liberty does work? Don't we know about HIS father and the huge gap we ARE witnessing between the two's respective rhetorics?

I would find SUSPECT if Rand was A PERFECT CLONE of his father. And, indeed, he is NOT. So, what about it?

Well, I think Rand and Dr. Paul have had political experiences sharing a lot in common but also significantly DISTINCT on many other facets.

WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT, folks.

Let us keep our focus on either DEFENDING OR DENOUNCING the ideas for their qualities or flaws. It's not so much about the man than about the lessons we can draw from political corruption and moral hazard.

IMO, it is of NO HELP to shoot hard at Rand from a strictly political standpoint - it's intellectually, morally we have to put him back on the right tracks; here are a few points that might help:

EVEN IF Iran ALREADY HAD military nuclear research and projects going on, it takes MORE THAN a decade - if not 15 years at minima - FOR ANY COUNTRY to even hope have it operational - AND PRIOR thoroughly tested - as a force of strike against others.

And HERE ARE the reported nuclear forces on this planet as of today:

(pay especially attention at which YEARS each is reported to have gained military nuclear power)

My point is:

the argument for preemptive attacks or sanctions against Iran on the assumption of PRESUMED, planned, scheduled aggression on any country - including the U.S. or Israel - DOES NOT HOLD any water.

WHAT DOES HOLD WATER, on the other hand IS THE SUSTAINED, CONSTANT, DECEPTION TALKS coming from Israel's rulers.

PROOF:

THAT IS what we need to point out Rand to.

Please, let us HELP RAND, calmly, get out of the political fallacy he is stuck in. We can do it.

Let's just keep speaking to him. We can't "shoot him down" just yet - he is still one of us, IMO. Only VERY CONFUSED. And maybe under pressures WE have NO idea about.

IMO, do I make sense?

I hope I do, and I hope it helps,

&

Peace.
