Iran, Israel, Nuclear Weapons Proliferation And Human Survival

     The nuclear weapons proliferation that is taking place before our eyes threatens to destroy all of humanity. The dangerous combination of nationalism or religion combined with nuclear weapons brings the end of mankind and most life on earth that much closer. If Iran pursues its dream of destroying Israel and obtaining nuclear weapons, it will not matter what is or is not negotiated  between Israel and Palestinian Arabs. Two states, one state; it will all be meaningless. There will be nothing left. A nuclear armed Israel and a nuclear armed Iran at war will mean the complete destruction of Iran, of Israel, of the middle east. The radioactive fallout will make the region, not just Iran and Israel, completely uninhabitable.
        Nuclear weapons do not make countries safer. Mutual deterrence is nothing more than the waiting period before leaders sufficiently unhinged or deranged use the weapons. Then when it is too late and the destruction has already occurred, there will be no one around to realize that nuclear weapons do not protect countries. They only destroy them.
         Walking away from the nuclear weapons agreement with Iran is unwise if it escalates nuclear proliferation. Iranians must also realize that the pursuit of nuclear weapons brings all life in the region closer to an end.
           The world is severely degraded and contaminated. Pursuing nuclear weapons is a senseless waste of resources to obtain something completely diabolical. In North Korea, many have already died from the radioactive contamination that resulted from their pursuit of nuclear weapons and by their nuclear weapons testing. The experience of the atomic bombs dropped over Japan towards the end of WW2 should have been enough to permanently deter mankind from ever going down that road again. Unfortunately, it did not. The nuclear weapons now are far more powerful and destructive. The nuclear weapons demon needs to be curtailed, not expanded. This is not about religion, politics and the other parochial interests of people. It is about the survival of humanity.
