Irony
Irony, it is said, often escapes most Americans and whilst this may be an unforgiveable generalisation, I recently heard one American General say that Iran had to be deterred from pursuing nuclear weapons.
Come again? Did he imply one should deter people from pursuing what America otherwises like to call a ‘nuclear deterrant’? Part of the Mutually Assured Destruction philosophy that Britain, likewise, claims actually prevents nuclear war?
Someone call the Double Standards agency, please.
