Obama, BP, and the Mullahs

The BP oil spill is a tragedy that needs to be fixed before it causes more environmental damage. In watching the government's response, though, my wife noted an incongruity that I had missed: President Obama seems madder at BP than at the Iranians who are trying their darndest to get an atomic bomb to obliterate Israel and any other infidel who gets in their way. Good point.

As bad as the oil spill is, wiping out a country with an atomic blast has to rank at least a little higher on the environmental devastation scale. The President, however, has remained remarkably passive in the face of Iran's march toward becoming a nuclear power and what it professes it will do with such weapons. If the President is right to be angry with BP, then perhaps a little less antipathy toward Israel and a little more anger against the mullahs would be in order as Israel tries to avoid its own "environmental" disaster.
