$90

News; we have news this morning and it’s all about Iran. And it has been for the past week. According to the headlines, we are going to see oil climb to record prices. Predictions are for over $90 a barrel as traders worry about the effect of possible UN sanctions against Iran. And I don’t see Iran backing down from their position.

Here is what I see; Iran is a sovereign nation and a signatory member of the group of nations that have signed the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty. They have violated provisions of that treaty. The other members of the treaty organization have a duty to deal with those violations.

India, Pakistan and Israel are rogue nations that have never joined the signers of the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty. These nations do not acknowledge any responsibility for world peace. In fact, Pakistan has admitted that they have sold nuclear secrets to North Korea and Iran…plus, who knows which other countries. Our threats to attack Iran only reveal a double standard in our foreign policy. Other countries around the world wonder why those rogue nations are allowed a “free pass”. And so do I.

Is Iran a danger to us? You bet! And so are Pakistan and Israel…maybe even more so.
