Fair's Got Nothing To Do With It

Why it is okay for Israel and India to have the bomb and bad for Iran and Pakistan.

Money quote:

"The Israeli bomb threatens nobody. An Iranian bomb does. India has transferred its nuclear technology to no one. Pakistan has. No one worries about India or Israel making the technology available to terrorists. Everyone worries about Iran doing that. These are distinctions with great differences. They are, as critics charge, double standards, but to apply a single standard to both friend and enemy, while it might be fair, would be singularly stupid," - Richard Cohen, making abundant sense, in the WaPo today.

I just ripped it from Andrew Sullivan.

When Iranian Mullah's claim "it's not fair," it reminds me of Flea in the Big Lebowski saying the same thing...to which John Goodman replies, "Fair? You're a fricking nihilist. You don't even believe in fair." (i butchered it).

PS: Bombings in India at a Hindu temple. Guess who? Now if we only had changed our public policy against Israel. Riiiight.
