贴一份CBC电台的评论,在下觉得深有同感。很高兴很自豪自己在加拿大,而不是美国!

Introduction:

Last week the headlines screamed around the world 'Nuclear Option: on the Table' President Bush endorsed a U-S military review outlining situations in which the Americans might use nuclear weapons.

Scott Taylor is the editor of 'Esprit de Corps', a Canadian military magazine. Today on Commentary he says Canada should emphatically reject the nuclear option.


Scott Taylor:


With last week's announcement by President Bush that America is prepared to use nuclear weapons if necessary against the axis of evil, the war against terror has taken an ominous turn.

By threatening to visit retaliatory annihilation upon millions of innocent civilians, the United States has itself become what it purports to be fighting: a global terrorist.

There is little doubt that the goal of the September 11th highjackers was to punish America in retaliation for the United States' pro-Israeli, Mid-East policies. That they chose to target thousands of defenceless civilians was rightly denounced as cowardly and despicable.

Now, President Bush is proudly announcing that all citizens residing in rogue states will be held similarly accountable with their lives. Bush has claimed that any terrorist action against the U.S. linked to these particular regimes would be countered with all military means including the use of nuclear weapons.

Nowhere did Bush quantify the scale of terrorist attack that would be required to unleash such a devastating destruction of innocent lives.

During the Second World War, the occupying Nazis used a retaliatory scale of 100 to 1 to deter the activities of Yugoslavian guerrillas. For the death of every German soldier, one hundred innocent villagers were rounded up and slaughtered. Such barbaric executions were condemned as inhuman war crimes, and helped earn the Nazis an everlasting place in the history of evil.

Now President Bush is threatening to increase the Nazi's retribution scale by a thousand fold, and he's asking Canada and the rest of the Western world to morally support him. The European community has become increasingly alarmed over Bush's haste to widen the war even as military operations in Afghanistan continue to escalate.

This latest threat of nuclear retaliation has further eroded European public support for the U.S. led coalition. Although Prime Minister Jean Chretien initially claimed that Canada would not support a conventional military attack against Iraq Bush's number one target on the axis of evil list American Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice soon pressured that "no" into a "maybe."


Placing our troops in harm's way to bring al-Qaeda terrorists in Afghanistan to justice can be morally justified. However, the launching of a nuclear holocaust cannot.

Canada and the other coalition partners should send a strong message to the U.S. immediately: Take the nuke threat off the table, or you'll be fighting the war on terror alone.

  • 枫下沙龙 / 谈天说地 / 请给我一个你自己的回答:如果说,恐怖主义是指那些为了达到政治目的而不惜把攻击和屠杀平民当做军事手段的话,那么,布什的核武政策,岂不也和恐怖份子如出一辙?
    读《核态势评估报告》有感:
    美国已经放弃了传统不对无核国家动武的核力量使用原则,而是将大规模杀伤性武器的能力列为可以直接使用核武器的依据。

    动用核武,意味着一个美国人的生命将会用超过1000个所谓“恐怖主义国家”的人命来偿还!听上去比希特勒法西斯二战中的1:100的比例还高10倍!

    正义和恐怖的差距在哪里呢?????

    谁能给我一个令人信服的回答?
    • 俺觉得美国奉行的就是国家恐怖主义。美国没有资格评价哪些国家是“流氓国家”,他就是带头的,呵呵。
      • 原以为,每个核大国都还守着“决不首先动用核武器”的老原则,而《报告》表明,美国准备发动核攻击的情况已经包括:对生物和化学武器攻击进行报复性还击。ANTHRAX THREAT也在其中。可怕啊!
        • “决不首先动用核武器”你不觉得这是废话吗?有核武器的不首先动用,难道还等着没有核武器的首先动用?哈哈,觉得这种提法很有意思,如果是这样,开发核武器干吗?既然不首先用,也就没有威慑效果,那不成垃圾了。
    • 那是老美告诉这几个国家,你别玩火,其实这对双方都有好处,避免相互误判而引起战争。

        • 我就不大想让加拿大合进美国,总觉得拿着加拿大护照到处走,安全的多
          • me too :-) the safest ID.
          • 当然不让加拿大合进美国!谁提这岔俺和他急!不过,货币嘛,嘿嘿,我还没想好。:)
            • 呵呵,等你想好了,是不是就可以颁布法令了?哈哈
    • 那美国在做任何事情之前,首先考虑的都是美国的利益。沙特阿拉伯的民主情况一团糟,妇女没地位,谁见美国放个屁了?他却天天看中国不顺眼。
      • 感觉布什这个德州牛仔,口气越来越象BIN LADEN,行动越来越过分,希望他不要带领美国,一步步走向恐怖主义的深渊。
    • 当年往日本扔两颗原子弹那事, 好像是历史上最早最大最成功的一次恐怖主义行动吧?
    • 盛衰循环,自然规律。美国的国运正在营造顶部的可能性正在增加;顶峰之后是什么?是下坡路。
