Brilliantly Stupid

Rest assured that I will never achieve the level of academic achievement that Mr. Waltz has. I certainly do not begrudge him any of his accomplishments. Yet I, a simple plebian, have more common sense than Mr. Waltz. Though the Arabs will never admit as such, a nuclear armed Israel (the worst kept secret in the ME) threatens no-one. Not Riyadh. Not Teheran. Not Baghdad even in Saddam's heyday. Not Amman or Cairo or Beirut. A nuclear armed Iran will set off an arm's race in what is already a rough neighborhood with the likes of Hezbollah or al-Qaida hanging around. It appears that KSA may be starting to arm itself. Baffling that such an acclaimed academic as Mr. Waltz could get it so wrong.
