BAN THE BOMB redux

 
   The hypocritical campaign here in the United States against the " horror " of an Islamic Atomic Bomb rarely made a suggestion of the wisdom of the " responsible " nuclear powers to dismantle their own Doomsday weapons.
Our nuclear arsenal is useless against terrorist groups like ISIS. We applaud the building of more nuclear submarines- to what end: the New Colonialism in the Middle East ? A half a dozen " civilized " countries " smart bombing  or drone bombing Syria every minute of the day is hardly heroic .
The ONLY way to end insane terrorism is to end the political insanity that feeds it. Our creepiest ally in the Middle East is Saudi Arabia-no stranger to cutting off " unholy " heads.
None of the presidential candidates- Democrat or Republican- has any serious quarrel with the military-industrial complex- not even my " socialist " favorite, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont.
And more " leftist " Jews should demand that Israel dismantle its nuclear arsenal. I read about Zionist State's " Samson Option ".
Catholics Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio should show some respect for the anti-capitalist, anti-war, pro-environment message of Pope Francis.
