Romney: Iran Is 'Suicidal' Nation

I appreciate Romney's honesty in facing the uncomfortable truth that many other candidates would like to spin or avoid altogether. It takes a courageous spirit to admit what we're up against unlike so many others that are still trying to tell us Islam is a peaceful religion and there was never a 9/11 or khobar tower bombing and so on. Though Romney is a Morman and apparently according to experts that makes him "unelectable" but he's got my vote. Below is an excerpt of Romney's interview with ABC's Stephanopoulos:


Romney: Well, not now. But, of course, the military option has to be on the table. Anyone who's considering being president hopefully will say that military options are always on the table when you consider a nation, which is a genocidal nation, a suicidal nation, in some respects, coming from Ahmadinejad, you say to yourself this is a setting where, of course, you have to consider the possibility of military action, but we're not there.

Stephanopoulos: Suicidal, what do you mean by that?

Romney: Well, it's a nation where people participate in suicide bombing and that kind of a suggestion, I think it was former President Rafsanjani who talked about Israel being a one-bomb nation, meaning they could not survive one bomb, but they, Iran, could survive one bomb.
It's like, 'Are you kidding? Are you suggesting that you'd be willing to take a bomb in order to eliminate another people?' This is a nation where the genocidal inclination is really frightening and having a nation of this nature develop nuclear weaponry is unacceptable to this country and to the Middle East.

And that's why I believe we should not be sitting down having a nice chat with the Iranians, but instead communicating to the religious leadership and the people that the consequences of going nuclear are very unattractive.
That's a message we should be sending throughout the world.
