An existential threat of nuclear destruction from Iran of a few U.S. cities some day is something Obama can live with perhaps after he sits down face to face with the President of Iran and learns from the horse's mouth that he is a peace loving guy. With an extra trillion added to the national debt (Obama helped) to bail out corrupt banks it will be more difficult to spend on middle eastern wars it is believed. Oy Vey-we shall see.

Scientists have discovered after substantially meaningful research that 1 in 4 mammals is facing extinction and that the numbers are in decline of at least half. With those statistics a nuclear threat by Iran to 'us' indicates a healthy compliance to declining habitat criteria for mammals of which humanity is included in the 'us' category. Previously habitat destruction by fossil fuel economic phenomena such as drilling, development, spilling, exhaust emissions and road building were considered as minor contributors to the decline of the prospects for continuing mammalian life on Earth, now it is considered a contributor to sociological retardation as well driving intelligent economic design out of the classrooms and in to the power of doom of global oil corporations.

Recent raving trends have encouraged globalization of economics and dissolution of national political power and design rationality concurrent with proliferation of oil based manufactures and make work occupations stock- by oil power.

Iran should have developed alternate energy power systems and simply disregarded the west's nuclear hegemony while it prospered domestically. The United States is already outsourcing its industrial bases to
