Listening to tête à tête between the US and its coterie of buddy nations and Iran over excessively magnified issue of Iran’s "discovery-disclosure" of their new nuclear enrichment plant, my mind instantly harkened back to the worldwide acknowledgement of the double standard the US has with respect to Nuclear Weapons and the non-proliferation hokum.

Question:　 What is the report from the UN inspector concerning nuclear weapons (IAEA)　about US nuclear weapons?

　　　 Could it be that the US has a problem with respect to　its self-concept?　 Is there a bit of hubris on our part?　 Is there a bit of arrogance in our implicit sense of entitlement to manage or manipulate the entire rest of the world?　 Does our (revealed) possession of 7000 nuclear warheads (I think that is correct), by fiat, implicitly authorize the US　to exert a virtual suzerainty over both the international　and internal affairs of all other nations.

Suppose China, England, The European Union, 　Union of Arab Nations, Venezuela, Israel, or any other nation took toward US the posture the US feels the liberty to take toward any and all other nations.

Have we not yet realized that the Balance of Power among nations has long since shifted?　 Are we unable to comprehend that having the ‘biggest and badest‘ military capability in the world does not give us license to bully to the rest of the world; that brute force has become impotent?　 Will we ever realize that dreaming of becoming a modern day Roman Empire is over?

This canine posturing is effectual only in the world of televisions screens.　 It is as counterproductive as a contest in name-calling would be in serving the purpose of rational discourse to negotiate terms for peaceful cooperation.

Media, you must have enough self-insight to realize that you have become a major contributor to the world problems we are facing.　 You must begin to try to become mature, objective journalists instead of inflammatory, rabble-rousing, troublemaker competitors in the ratings game.
