Good point.

There need not be a lot of fallout. As per Jules Feiffer [I'm sure it was him] in the 1960s, they have "bombs which can blow up everything, and they are 100% clean" = making fun of the militaristic mania whereby [he suggested the military thinks] blowing everything up is fine, as long as there's no radioactive fallout.

The USA or NATO or whoever, could do an aerial small neutron fission explosion, which would not cause a lot of radioactivity downwind, or a lot of physical destruction [such as smashing containment facilities for the Iran noocular projects], but would kill the people involved in those facilities. Unless they wore tin hats and lead underwear or carried lead [or boron] umbrellas.

Funny having such risky recommendations from Canada.

I have two thoughts.

The first is that some hard liners in the US are trying to push the PNAC/neocon agenda

The second is maybe the editorial is correct, and this really is like 1938. Then we in the US and much of Europe are in serious and dangerous denial.

I note Jacque Chirac gave a speech re-iterating the value of France's nuclear deterent.

Anyway, it seemed so silly that I had a quick look at "Toronto Sun", which is a trash paper, and nothing about a noocular strike on Iran. I think it's a fake. Who is Michel Chossudovsky? I'll ask Google.

Sure enough, active member of anti-war movement in Canada. Name obviously being used in vain.
